Steve Jobs’ commencement speech, viewed 12 million times

October 21st, 2011

STEVE JOBS’ Commencement address to the Stanford class of 2005 is by far the most popular video ever posted on the Stanford YouTube channel. Since it first appeared there in 2008, it has been viewed 12 million times.

In the years before his death, the Apple founder’s inspirational talk, in which he encouraged graduates to “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish,” was viewed six million times. In the two weeks since he died, it has been seen another six million times.

Jobs urged the graduates to “have the courage to follow your heart and intuition; they somehow already know what you truly want to become.”
