It’s a given that there will be tears shed at some point during any college graduation commencement ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the stadium after Steve Jobs, CEO of Microsoft, gave his commencement speech to the students and families of Stanford’s graduating class of 2005 on June 5, 2005.

Jobs used personal stories of how his failures eventually led to success to encourage graduates to continually work toward their dreams.

“Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick,” Jobs said. “Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.”
