It’s strange how certain things are so simple, yet we just neglect them. Simple rules of life…nothing special….Steve Jobs’ speech proves it.
I happened to write this post on this speech Steve Jobs gave, just one day before I actually saw him in the Google campus with the Google CEO. It was the most amazing feeling to actually see one of my role models right in front of me Have a look…

Stay Hungry … Stay Foolish !

While rummaging through my Harddisk on a pleasant Sunday afternoon, I happened to locate one of the most inspiring pieces of audio I had. If you can relate to the title of this post, I am sure that you know what(rather ‘whom’) I am talking …

The speech is just above and beyond market competition issues.
A MUST read/listen to, even if you hate MAC… Jobs’ words are remarkable.

Best,

Fabiano

Hi Shun, I happened to read this article in a magazine, and my friend sent me the link to this site. This speech has changed my life forever and for good. Reading it was one thing, but listening to it was a whole new experience, and had more impact. It was only possible because of you. Thank you so much for the effort and this great site. Guess i understand the reason why you decided to host this speech, which makes me appreciate your efforts even more…
With Regards

Hi Shun, Steve is a not only a catalyst but also a life changer. I am amazed by reading the text content of the speech and was feeling that when a text conversion of the speech could change the very outlook of a person’s life then how his voice could change a person’s life pattern. I was searching the net for the holy speech and I found out that you are hosting the same. Right now I am an average income earner from India and I am very much pained as to my inability to contribute for such a wonderful service of yours….yet ….I am thinking of repaying you in the near future for this wonderful work of hosting this great man’s speech. I heartfully thank you right now for this.

I just want to give my endorsement to WinRAR. It’s a much better uncompression software than WinZip has been in the past few years.

Matt, HY was being helpful. I am actually the owner of the site. Thanks for offering to mirror the files though. I am doing ok with the bandwidth and contributions so far.

Cheers,

Shun Chu

HY,

Been looking around for this exact file, thanks for recording it! I’m just a poor college student, but still would love to contribute and help offset the cost of hosting the file. I’d be happy to mirror it for you, if you’d like. Drop me an email if you’re interested.

Warmest regards,
Matt

Hi Maria,

There could be two main reasons:
1). Damaged File
i). Probably the uploaded file is damaged
Solution: Can be fixed by the website owner only
ii). There was an download error and your download is corrupted.
Solution: Try re-downloading the file

2). WinZip buggy with TAR files
Solution: Try untarring with other compression/archiving tools
i). 7-Zip – http://www.7-zip.org
ii). WinRar – http://www.rarlab.com

Hope this helps.

Regards,
- HY.

Dear Sir:
Thank you for posting the audio files of Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford earlier this month. However, I haven’t had any success in opening the *.tar files with Winzip (evaluation copy). Neither of the AAC nor the MP3 formatted files worked and Winzip responded with the message: “Error reading header after processing 0 entries.”

I would be very glad if you could enlighten me on how to successfully access the above-mentioned audio files.
