It talks a lot about his life and the “great change agent” known as death. Steve Jobs was an American businessman, designer and inventor. He is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.

Steve Jobs’ big message, “stay hungry, stay foolish”, is remarkable because of its meaning; if you are not “hungry” of pursuing new things, you may stay foolish forever. He also makes a passionate case for finding love your work. And that you don’t settle for someone else’s idea of what you should do in life. Besides his life, he also talks about marrying different interests, finding love your work, and complementing your own death and how it will helps you figure out what you do with your life now.
Jobs opens with a compliment for the audience. He follows that by showing humility in admitting that he never graduated college.
