Hello Everybody:
I´m writing because I need to know What is the meaning of the phrase "STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH"

Thank You for your help

 

What was the context in which you found this?

 

GWB is right to ask for context, but I think it was the last words of the last issue of the Whole Earth Catalogue published by Stewart Brand and his team. Steve Jobs used it in his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University. If I'm right, it means simply:

Stay Hungry: don't be too easily satisfied or grow too comfortable.
Stay Foolish: Brand and his folks liked to think of themselves as "fools" in an overly serious world.

 

Without context, I would guess it means that to stay hungry and not to eat would be, in the long run, foolish; but without context I can't be sure.

 

i want know what is the meaning of stay hungry stay foolish

 

'stay hungry means,in this context,do not feel contended with what you have already achieved but always feel hungry to do more and more business or profit.again stay foolish means never thing that you have learnt all there is nothing more to learn for you.in other words when you think that you are still foolish,you try to learn more and more and keep learning new things.

 

'Stay hungry, stay foolish' means - find yourself and be creative! Do what you want and can in this life.

Hello everyone
Steve Job's 2005 commencement address in Stanford ends by a quote he loved " Stay hungry. Stay foolish".
what did he mean by this?
My perception is somehow like this : If we are poor, foolishness is unavoidable.
Please let me know if I am correct.
Thanks

 

In my opinion:

Stay hungry = keep having goals; don't be complacent
Stay foolish = keep taking chances; don't be afraid to try new things
