Speeches
2011
In the speech, viewed by millions of people around the world in the days following his death, Jobs spoke publicly for the first time about his own possibly failing health-using that for his foil in telling students: \"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life...have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. By contrast, as Gates told the Wallstreet Journal in a story published shortly after he spoke, he labored on his address for more than six months-reading Nobel Prize acceptance speeches by Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Enrico Fermi, and others; soliciting the advice of humor-and-communications coach Warren Buffett at different stages of composition; and bouncing outlines and drafts back and forth with a Gates Foundation speechwriter who had written for State, the online magazine owned by Microsoft.
