Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

I know this isn't timely but I just came across Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, commencement address that he gave last year at Stanford University. I love graduation day speeches. Some are so funny and I found this one very inspiring. He urged graduates to see opportunities in life's setbacks and gave three examples from his life.

"I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

Here's the full text and the iTunes Video that you can view for free.
