“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” – Steve Jobs, Stanford University, 2005
Speaker: Steve Jobs (Co-founder of Apple Inc.)
Occasion: Stanford University Commencement Speech
Date: June 12, 2005
Theme: Life, failure, purpose, and following your heart
WHY IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST SPEECHES EVER:
Steve Jobs told 3 simple but powerful stories:
1. Connecting the Dots
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.”
He dropped out of college, took a calligraphy class out of curiosity — years later, it influenced Mac’s typography and changed design in computing forever.
Message: Trust that the dots will connect later. Follow your curiosity.
2. Love and Loss
“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.”
He was fired from Apple, the company he founded. But during that time, he started NeXT and Pixar, and later returned to Apple.
Message: Failure can lead to your biggest growth. Fall in love with your work.
3. Death
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”
He spoke about his cancer diagnosis, and how it reminded him that life is short — so we must live truthfully and with urgency.
Message: Time is limited. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
MOST ICONIC LINE:
“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”
It means:
-
Never stop learning
-
Never become arrogant
-
Always be open to exploring the unknown
WHY THIS SPEECH STILL HITS HARD:
-
It’s real, not dramatic
-
It comes from a man who built, fell, and rose again
-
It’s about courage, vision, and purpose
Final Reflection:
If you’re stuck, lost, or afraid to chase your dreams — this speech is a wake-up call.
Rejection, failure, or uncertainty is not the end — it’s the beginning.
