Steve Jobs Speech About Life Lessons

As there are many lessons to be learned through life to be successful there are choices and decisions that make that hard. At one point in someone 's life they are gonna mess up and make a bad decision, but the only thing that will keep you going is how you handle it. In the speech given by, Steve Jobs one can learn three of many lessons, being as don’t hold back and do what you love, live your life how you wanna live it and own your mistakes.
