Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

There is some kind of “aura” about Steve Jobs that I cannot quite define… (and note that I don’t call myself an Apple fanboy).

I just read this Commencement Address – I don’t know whether he has somebody writing his rather personal speeches; I doubt he does.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Reading about such personal things as him being adopted, being diagnosed with an uncurable form of cancer – such honesty from the CEO of a multi billion dollar company talking to a couple of students… It may be an American thing, but still I’m impressed.
