Thanks for posting the Steve jobs speech. Pretty shockingly frank, and like many good things, short and to the point.

It was publically known there was some tension between him and his adoptive parents, evidently caused by the intellectual difference between them. This puts this in sharper relief.

Contrast with other well known college drop out from Seattle, whose mother was on the Washington State Board of Regents. I think one reason Micro-Soft started in New Mexico (Besides MITS being there) was Bill wanted to avoid dealing with his mother after dropping out of Harvard.

Note that the love and loss part is about what he loves - work !

Here in Silicon Valley, that seems perfectly normal....

But it can be a big mistake.
