Steve Jobs on staying hungry, staying foolish

July 19th, 2007 Lois Kelly Posted in Language, Leadership |

Guy Kawasaki recently posted an excerpt of Beyond Buzz, the nine themes people like to talk about and hear about — on his blog. (Thanks Guy!) I’ve heard from many, many folks about one of the nine themes that they think is especially valuable: aspirational stories.

So here’s one of my favorite examples of an aspirational story: Steve Jobs, a college drop out, giving the commencement address at Stanford University. He talks about connecting the dots, love and loss, death and the value of staying hungry, and staying foolish. Enjoy.
