https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/07/worl ... index.html
2. Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
Session One
1. What is his first story for? Why does he want to tell people that there are dots that would connect by themselves when you look backwards? Do you find it inspiring? What are your dots and how they connect?
2. Which class did you like the best when you were in school? What good things did you have later on because of this class? Are there dots connected?
3. Is your work great work? Do you love what you do? If not, are you still looking or have you already given up? Why? And what do you feel about it?
Session Two
4. Do you remind yourself that you will die soon and try to follow your heart? Are you trapped in dogma, which is the result of someone else's thinking, or are you already free?
5. What does Jobs see death as? What is your idea of death? Can death serve you as a tool, too?
6. What is the greatest lesson you learn from it? If you want to share people a quote from this speech, what would it be?
