"Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"- Steve Jobs' message to young graduates
10/06/2011
Steve Jobs of Apple reminisces about an an old country road in the fall- calling forth to the spirit of adventure in young people- in a Whole Earth catalog in the 1970's. He recalls this and says "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish." This is his message to young graduates. Reflecting on his life's experiences he also tells them "bloom where you are planted." Jobs handled failure with resilience and bounced back from the troubles of not being able to finance a college education, being put out of the company he founded by the time he was thirty, and struggling with pancreatic cancer after 2004.

<em>The Rare Find</em>: Reinventing Recruiting
BusinessWeek 10/13/11
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
