Steve Jobs wrote and delivered the commencement speech “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” to the graduates of Stanford University on June 12, 2005.
The style and content are very different from his Apple product launch presentations, but no less worthy of study.
Noteworthy elements of this wonderful speech include:
- strong opening;
- simple classical structure;
- the Rule of Three;
- rich figures of speech; and
- a recurring theme of birth/death/rebirth.
