At a commencement speech this week, Walter Isaacson told his own three stories, much like Steve Jobs did in 2005 at a famous appearance in front of Stanford's grads.

Isaacson is the author of the only official Steve Jobs biography you can lay your hands on. His book is regarded as the most accurate story about the life of the Apple co-founder, and he probably knows a thing or two about Jobs that most of us don’t.

In his touching commencement speech at Pomona College on May 19, the biographer mentioned not only Jobs, but Einstein and Ben Franklin too, in what he regarded as three of the most important lessons he’d ever learned.

On the topic of Apple’s late CEO, he highlighted the “reality distortion field,” and how Jobs managed to convince Corning to manufacture its brilliant glass so the original iPhone could use it.

For Apple fanatics, the 26-minute clip is a must-watch.
