Steve Jobs speaks at Stanford University

On January 17, Steve Jobs, visionary co-founder and CEO of Apple, announced he will take a medical leave of absence. The announcement came a year and a half after Jobs had returned from a six-month leave of absence following a liver transplant. This now indefinite leave of absence raises questions about both his long-term prognosis and the leadership of one of the world’s most valuable technology companies.

Here is a remarkable speech given by Steve Jobs at Stanford University's graduation ceremony in 2005, where he tells Stanford graduates three stories from his life. Jobs, who himself never graduated from college, concludes his speech with this advice: "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
