Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Address (2005)

On June 12, 2005, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs delivered the commencement address at Stanford University's 114th Commencement. In the fifteen-minute address, Jobs recounted three pivotal personal stories: dropping out of Reed College and discovering calligraphy, getting fired from Apple and founding NeXT and Pixar, and facing his cancer diagnosis. He urged graduates to pursue what they love, embrace mortality as life's change agent, and live by the motto from the Whole Earth Catalog: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
