Graduation is upon us, a time of celebration, a time of reflection. Here are two of the best commencement speeches ever by two men who have since passed away, author David Foster Wallace at Kenyon and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs at Stanford. Both speeches took place in 2005. Rest in peace and thank you for your words of inspiration. The speeches were posted on the U-T San Diego site on May 29, 2015 and the article is attributed to Matthew T. Hall.
