Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

   ...

   No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't
   want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all
   share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,
   because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It
   is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the
   new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now,
   you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be          
   so dramatic, but it is quite true.
                                                                               
   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.
                                                                               
   When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The
   Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation.
   It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here
   in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.
   This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop
   publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and
   polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35
   years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing
   with neat tools and great notions.
                                                                               
   Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth
   Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final          
   issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover
   of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country
   road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were
   so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay
   Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay
   Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself.
   And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
                                                                               
   Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
                                                                               
   Thank you all very much.
