‘Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish’: Steve Jobs’ Stanford Commencement Address, Twenty Years On

The Steve Jobs Archive has a wonderful digital exhibit about Steve Jobs’ Stanford address, which closes with the “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” quote I referenced in my remembrance:

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Steve’s commencement address at Stanford, we are sharing a newly enhanced version of the video below and on YouTube. It is one of the most influential commencement addresses in history, watched over 120 million times, and reproduced in media and school curricula around the world.

If you’ve never seen the commencement address, you won’t regret the fifteen minutes. If you’ve seen it before, you already know it’s always worth revisiting. It’s an experience that stays with you.

Be sure to explore the related artifacts at the bottom of the page. They are equally wonderful.
