“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.
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.
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.
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.
