Jobs’ explains his troubles during the beginning years of his creation of The Macintosh.
He again evokes pathos from the audience in two completely separate ways. Steve Jobs’ second story to the audience allows them to truly measure success, and what it takes to become successful. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, and karma, whatever. He ends his first story by telling the graduates a piece of advice that transitions properly into the second story, ”so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. “Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.” This technique gives the story a great meaning, and allows the audience to defer meaningful application. He uses anaphora and epistrophe by repeating the phrase “connecting the dots” during the story. In his first short story to the audience, Jobs’ does a successful job with his rhetorical method.

“If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. “The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.” This class taught him all about what he would one day use. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.” He then explains that after dropping out he took a calligraphy course where he learned all about fonts, and everything you would ever need to know about typeface. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.
Jobs’ tells the audience that he eventually went to college seventeen years later, but then humors them with a surprising twist “After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. They sought him to be adopted by a well-educated family, so that when he grew he up, he himself could become highly educated. Although his parents could not raise him on their own, they managed to find people who could better support him and provide for him. Throughout the first story, he evokes pathos from the audience when he discusses his childhood and being adopted. His first story is about his upbringing and how he got to where he is today with his invention of Apple Computers, Pixar Animation, and NeXT. Throughout the speech, Jobs’ tells of three stories about his personal life experiences in which he found motivation. His introduction appeals to the audience’s emotions, giving Job’s an efficacious gateway into the rest of his speech. The initial remarks of the speech automatically set the mood, and in this case he sets a humorous, and laid back feel that puts the audience at ease. The quote immediately adds an element of humor to his speech, and is well perceived by the audience. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation,” Jobs starts off his commencement speech by telling the Stanford University class of 2005. He encourages them to pursue their dreams, and do what makes them happy, even if what makes you happy does not always go according to plan. During his speech to the new graduates, he tells several life stories of love, loss, discovery, death, and adversity to encourage them as they continue on in their lives. Steve Jobs uses his background and upbringing to play upon his rhetorical approach. Steve Jobs’ Commencement Speech at Stanford University in 2005 is considered an extremely effective speech because of his use of rhetorical devices.
