Thanks for that.
It was a great speech, that resonated for me. I remember reading that valedictory message on the last Whole Earth Catalog. Like Jobs, I feel strongly a sense of destiny (although it's becoming clear to me that my destiny is not going to take me to any dizzying heights of fame or wealth).
Jobs is smart enough to understand the chaotic nature of life, and, unlike a lot of other successful people who try to create a post hoc rationalization of their "inevitable rise" to success, he simply list his strange fortunes and defining moments. In his mind he joins the dots of the past.
But in spite of life's chaos, he's guided by intuition and hunches as to what life will throw at him next. And with the stream of successes he's had, it's no wonder he has such faith in his intuition.

I have an Apple II, #1871. I've never, ever used a computer other than those from Apple.
The reason? I've always liked the 'feel' of them. There is, as Steve said, a 'lightness of being' about them.
After reading that article, I understand why this is. More than many people, especially in the upper reaches of the business world, Mr. Jobs understands that rationality alone if not enough.
