• steve jobs'un stanford mezuniyet töreni konuğu olarak yaptığı 14 dakika 33 saniyelik konuşmasının sonuna ekleyerek tekrar gündeme taşıdığı 70'lerden kalma cümle.

    başta beddua gibi durur. ilk kez okuduğumda afrika'nın herhangi bir yerinde söylenmiş olabileceğini ve söyleyenin öldürüldüğünü falan düşündüm.

    "when i was young, there was an amazing publication called the whole earth catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. it was created by a fellow named stuart brand not far from here in menlo park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. this was in the late sixties, 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 thirty-five years before google came along. it was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. stuart and his team put out several issues of the the whole earth catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. it was the mid-seventies 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 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 as new, i wish that for you. stay hungry, stay foolish"
