Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple in his speech at Stanford really inspired me after viewing the video. He talked about many things in his life, his experiences, hard work, dreams, and even his cancer.

If we fall, we stand. If we fail, we try again. That's what life is all about.

Next one was his battle against his cancer or tumor in his pancreas. The doctor said that it was incurable in the first place but Steve didn't surrender and fought this disease.
