STORY

30. Every Steve Jobs presentation told a story.

31. Jobs would first introduce the
bad guy or the problem that the
AUDIENCE FACED,

product as the hero and
educated the audience as to
why their lives would be
BETTER,

33. And finally, he told the audience how they can live
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

different jobs he had before
his modeling career,

I was always just lucky to

have a job.”

And being generous.

being generous.

37. he told the audience how to live
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
And finally,

38. “
”
Life can be a lot broader than that
when you realize one simple thing
and that is that everything around us
that we call life was made up by
people that are no smarter than you.
And you can build your own thing,
you can build your own life that other
people can live in.

39. So build a life – don’t live one,
build one – find your opportunity,
and always be sexy.

40. NOW THAT IS THE KIND
OF MESSAGE YOU
DELIVER TO THE
YOUTH.
