Apple CEO, Tim Cook, followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Steve Jobs, in giving a spine-tingling commencement address. Unlike Jobs, Cook's address was to the students of The George Washington University.
Cook gave an inspiring speech about how the graduates of today must get involved in the world. He said that graduates' place did not belong on the sidelines and that life needed them 'inside the arena'.
The speech covered the theme of morals, of right and wrong. He encouraged those who seek to undermine deception and appreciated the skeptics who have questioned even the likes of Apple.
While the speech had little to do with Apple's competitors he couldn't resist a slight jab at them from the off.
"They asked me to make a standard announcement, you’ve heard this before, about silencing your phones. Those of you with an iPhone, just place it in Silent Mode. If you don’t have an iPhone, please pass it to the center aisle, Apple has a world-class recycling program," the Alabama-born CEO joked.
