This document summarizes three lessons from a commencement address by Steve Jobs: 1) Connect the dots backwards by looking at your past experiences and decisions to understand your path; 2) Do great work by loving what you do; and 3) Consider if today was your last day, would you want to do what you are about to do today? The document then lists topics that may relate to each lesson but does not provide additional context.
