I recently read an excerpt of Steve Jobs\u2019 Commencement Address that was published by the Stanford Report dated June 14th, 2005. His closing lines revealed an amazing idea of inspiration in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jobs credited the birth of this caption to a publication called\u00a0The Whole Earth Catalog<\/em>. This magazine was synonymous to today\u2019s Google and other search engines \u2013 and according to the founder and CEO of Apple and Pixar Studios, it was \u201cidealistic and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.\u201d When this magazine rolled out its last publication in the mid 1970s, the back cover carried a picture of an early morning country road. Beneath it were the words:\u00a0Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the first glance, this catchy caption would not make much sense to the busy internet reader. But when I gave it a few seconds of thought, the idea dawned onto me. Firstly, it essentially means that we should always remain restless for knowledge. Secondly, and more importantly, it means never to be proud \u2013 we should always be under the impression that we do not know much. This feeling would in turn further fuel the thirst for knowledge, whereby we constantly persist in attaining it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a well understood fact that knowledge is like an ocean. It needs to constantly wet the shores of your mind and bring wisdom. It is like oil to the lamp that burns bright on a dark night. With the knowledge we have, others should be able to light their candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever endeavour to acquire knowledge.
