Stay hungry, stay foolish
Today I read a tweet by @tristanelosegui where he recalls the video below. I know that in my last post there was also a speech and graduates involved, but I just wanted to share this while it was still fresh.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
This is Steve Jobs’ message in his commencement speech to Stanford University graduates of in 2005.
Actually, I had already seen this video a couple of times a while ago and saved it to my favourites. However, I decided to view it again today.
Its impressive and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should spear some minutes to watch it because maybe….. it will change the way you think about certain things.
What struck me most was this:
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
When I ask my self this question, I come to the conclusion there are things I want to change. I have made a list and I am taking action.
How about you?
