J.K. Rowling: The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination (Commencement speech at Harvard, 2008)

Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford was one of the best speeches I have seen so far. This commencement speech by Joanne K. Rowling at Harvard in 2008 is on a par.

It seems that those who experienced major setbacks in their life can deliver the best speeches to graduates.

So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential.

Jeff Yalden: 2006 Mascenic Regional High School Graduation

A truely funny speech delivered by Jeff Yalden to the Mascenic Regional High School class of 2006. And he got the attention of the graduates by speaking their language. This speech is that good, I watched it two times in a row.

Sorry for the messed video, but I couldn’t find a better recording of this speech.

Steve Jobs: 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc. and Pixar Animatioon Studios, gave a speech in 2005 at the 114th Commencement of the Stanford University. It’s an inspiring speech from a man who has seen success, setbacks, and faced death. Definitely one of my favorites…

You can find a full transcript of this speech at the Stanford News Service. Another source of the transcript was provided by Pera Lozac.
