Reflection:

After listening to this speech, I think it's an attractive speech and helpful to every graduate. He provided his three stories in his life and gave graduates some inspirations that most people won't tell them.

I agree with Steve that you should never stop looking for what you love to do, you're going to do it for the rest of your life so you might as well like it at least.

"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." is a great motto for everyone.
Sometimes we think we're smart enough to do everything, but in fact, we still have lots of things have to learn and we should be more open-minded, even we'are old men.
