1.5 is about love 3
1H and loss. 7L
1H I was lucky 6
1.5 ― I found what I loved to do 6L
2 early in life. 1H
1 Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. 5(1H->5)
1.5 We worked hard, 6L
1.5 and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage 1H
2 into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. 4.5
3 We had just released our finest creation 6.5
6.5 ― the Macintosh ― 5
1.5 a year earlier, 2.5
4 and I had just turned 30. 2
1H And then I got fired. 4.5
1H How can you get fired from a company you started? 5
1.5 Well, 6.5
2.5 as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented 6.5
1 to run the company with me, 6L
1.5 and for the first year or so things went well. 4.5
2 But then our visions of the future began to diverge 5.5
1 and eventually we had a falling out. 5.5
2 When we did, 6
1.5 our Board of Directors sided with him. 1(1H->1)
1.5 And so at 30 6.5
4 I was out. 1.5(7->1.5)
1H And very publicly out. 6L(7->6L)
3 What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, 1H
1.5 and it was devastating. 5.5
06:21
2 I really didn't know what to do for a few months. 6.5
1.5 I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down 6.5
1.5 - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. 1H
1.5 I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce 2
1.5 and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. 7
2.5 I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. 7
4.5 But something slowly began to dawn on me 5
5.5 ― I still loved what I did. 6L
1.5 The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. 6.5L(1.5->6.5L)
2 I had been rejected, 4.5
1.5 but I was still in love. 7L
1H And so I decided to start over. 6
2 I didn't see it then, 6
3 but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. 6.5
2.5 The heaviness of being successful 1
2 was replaced by the lightness 1H
1 of being a beginner again, 7(1H->7)
2 less sure about everything. 6L
5.5 It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. 5
07:14
3 During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, 4.5
1H another company named Pixar, 3

2 in the world. 1
5 In a remarkable turn of events, 4.5
3 Apple bought NeXT, 2H

2.5 have a wonderful family together. 5.5
07:46
4 I'm pretty sure 6
6 none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. 4(1H->4)
2.5 It was awful tasting medicine, 6.5
1.5 but I guess the patient needed it. 6L
5 Sometime life, 5
5 Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. 1
2 Don't lose faith. 7(1H->7)
6 I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going 6L
6.5 was that I loved what I did. 6.5
5.5 You've got to find what you love. 1
2 And 2(1H->2)
5 that is as true for your work 4.5
1.5 as it is for your lovers. 6(1H->6)
2 Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, 5
3 and the only way to be truly satisfied 6L

2.5 So keep looking. 7(1H->7)

”Apple bought NeXT”で初めて興奮した2H（9度）が出ました。それからアップルに戻り、6Lが2回続いたところで、タイトルにもなっているフレーズが登場して１度で終わります。
終盤にかけてさらに6Lや7Lが多く登場し、１度で終わるフレーズ、don't settleが2回繰り返されます。１回目は冒頭にアクセントがあって１度で終わるもの。２回目は2.5度から始まって1->4.5度で終わるもの。１回目の方はよく言い聞かせるようにしっかり１度で止めて、２回目の方は終わりを抜いていますね。確かにこれだとしつこさがないし、ふわりと浮いてこちらの心に飛び込んでくるような気がします。
ただ何にしてもほとんど正確に彼は自分のオクターブをキープしています。楽器の演奏でもそうですが、この音程の安定感とスピーチの安定感には強いつながりがあると思います。
