At the time of this speech in 2005, Jobs said that his cancer was in remission and he believed he had beaten the disease. Later,
the cancer returned and Jobs died on Oct. 5, 2011, from complications connected to his pancreatic cancer. How does knowing that Jobs would ultimately lose his battle against cancer change the meaning/impact of his words for today’s audience?
they would have changed the meaning drastically because the audience thought of his words of courage. Job had claimed that he had beaten the battle against his cancer but since he passed away due to difficulties connected to his pancreatic cancer, it means that in reality he never did win that hard battle.
