1) Steve Jobs Speech Part III
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

4) Monologue
What I like most I suppose is the fact that is so unusual. I mean, when I tell people what I do, they just look at me usually as if I’m a mad. I get up at about 6:15 every morning. I leave my wife in bed because she is not as mad as me. And I put my trunks on and my track suit and drive down to the park with my cloths and case. It only takes about 5 minutes because there’s no traffic of course at that time in the morning. So when I get there, I leave the car and the car park and run around a bit.
