Stay Hungry,Stay foolish

So I chanced by steve job's commencement speech of 2005, and I thought about the quote.

"Stay hungry,stay foolish"

What does this REALLY mean, and can we really keep at that pace throughout? While quotes are great, I personally realise it is not possible. Life goes in cycles or up and downs, and so is your ambitions and hunger.

We are only human.

A much better strategy for staying hungry, staying foolish would be to evaluate your day at the end, to ask Steve Jobs' question in the past tense: "If today were the last day of my life, would I be grateful to have done what I did today?"

    Stay Hungry means stay eager to learn always new and never be satisfied .
    Stay Foolish means do what ever you want and keep trying.

    That's traduced the real desire to succeed everyday, to be in the real mindset.
    That's why Steve Jobs have slept only 4 hours per night because many ideas came in his mind ;-)

    Stay hungry means always crave for new ideas. Always have the passion for learning. While staying foolish means staying as you are and settling for what you already know.

    In other words, it's called "curiosity kills the cat".

    I really love the book, Steve Jobs. Even though it is a thick book, but I finish it somehow.
    Very inspiring and full with business insights for me to ponder.

    Stay foolish, stay hungry.
    These are the words that inspired me to keep learning each day.
    I keep reminding myself that I need to be hungry. They said that if you want to be successful, you need to be hungry for it. Make your desire strong and keep it burning.

    And stay foolish like a new beginner to learn things each time.
    Steve Jobs also said that after he was fired, he felt lifted and light because there's nothing for him to worry anymore. So he focused on what he love to do. And that made him super successful.
