One of the last things I bothered printing was a transcript of this. http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-06150...

I've seen this multiple times but now I'm going to have to watch it again.

Thanks for posting.

loved the quote at the end. "stay hungry, stay foolish"

Here's the issue he's talking about http://www.wholeearth.com/issue-electronic-edition.php?iss=1... - it's on the back cover. This is one of the many 'last' Whole Earth Catalogs.

This is definitely one of my favorite speeches of all time. It's so inspirational, particularly for a young college student aspiring to be a great entrepreneur.

Too bad they couldn't find someone better than Anthony Kennedy for the '09 Commencement.
