Rhetorical Analysis- Steve Jobs Given the task of conceptualizing a man who truly changed the realm of technology as we know it today, my mind secludes one person. That person is Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, now known simply as Apple.

technology as we know it today, my mind secludes one person. That person is Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, now known simply as Apple. For this rhetorical analysis, I will be using three biographies/profiles about Jobs including “The Real Genius of Steve Jobs” by Malcolm Gladwell with The New Yorker (June 19, 2017), “Jobs’ Biography; Thoughts on Life, Death, and Apple” from NPR (October 25, 2011), and “Steve Jobs” from Biography.com (April 28, 2017).

When Steve Jobs negotiated it was never the norm as the way negotiating should be done in person. Jobs has thrown a lot of what we know about negotiation out of the window. The important thing is to understand that he was able to communicate with great details over email, when we are always told that sensitive materials needs to be addressed in person.

My View on Steve Jobs 2005’s Commencement Address at Stanford University “No one want’s to die. Even people that want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there” (Steve Job’s). He said as he is speaking to the 2005’s Graduates from Stanford University. Talking about himself because he had pancreatic cancer. I don’t think that he understands the concept that some people don’t believe that there is a heaven or some people really do what to die to get to heaven because it would be better than
The video I chose is an interview with Steve Jobs. He discusses the teamwork at Apple and why it is so successful there. Many of the things he discusses in the interview are similar to the information that can be found in the textbook.

He adds that teamwork at Apple consists throughout the company; from the very top to the very bottom. He uses the word “trust,” which is important in a
classy and cutting edge technology that many people worldwide would attempt to be first in line for when the newest edition was released. This man’s name was Steve Jobs. He was the founder and CEO of Apple, a company that he and Steve Wozniak developed in Jobs’s garage after he dropped out of college. Creating such a company was no easy task, but Jobs persevered and didn’t back down from any challenge that he faced along the way. He is an individual that is very hard to ignore, specifically when listening
STEVE JOBS COMMENCEMENT SPEECH Steve Jobs presented many great examples on how he stayed humble and never gave up on what he truly believed. Steve Jobs found what he loved to do and followed his dream of accomplishing something in life jobs said “You’re already naked there's no reason not to follow your heart.”. With that being said I agree with Steve Jobs in his commencement speech which was delivered in 2005, on how he encourages us to do what makes us happy. He didn’t finish college, he dropped
This past quarter we have read a variety of texts about our future and how to be successful. One commencement speech in particular, by Steve Jobs, stood out because it talks about all the things you need to follow in life. I fully agree with the things he says. He includes three main points to follow in life that he realized when he was on the verge of death. Overall, he just wants to tell you that everything happens for a reason, do not regret anything, and live life to the fullest. This was his
“And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle” (Jobs). At Stanford University’s 2005 graduation ceremony, Steve Jobs was invited to give a speech that would serve an impact on those beginning their lives. Throughout the speech, Jobs elaborated on the background story of his life, successes, and failures, which all pertained to the true purpose of his speech. His stories and lessons had the ability to grasp the audience due to his
Moreover, Steve Jobs, describes past events of his life in order to motivate the college students to follow their hearts. For example, through organization, Mr. Jobs manages to give a symbolic meaning to the third story, as it is the last, and it is about death, the last event all humans experience.
