  • Text 9 Steve Jobs Told Students: 'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.'
    Text 9 Steve Jobs told students: ‘Stay hungry. Stay foolish.’ The Washington Post, September 5 th 2011 Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder revealed in a commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 why he dropped out of college - and why he thought it was one of the best things he ever did. Yet he had other advice for the students. Jobs started that speech by talking about being adopted as a baby, and why, 17 years later, he attended Reed College in Oregon for only six months before dropping out. He said: “My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates but later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.” “And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. So I decided to drop out and the minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

This paper gives a brief description of the most re‐ markable elements of Steve’s language, based on his keynote speeches at major trade expos and the Commencement address delivered at Stanford University in 2005. The paper also discusses the great life lessons we can learn from such an amazing person, who had the cou‐ rage to base his goals on his deepest heart’s desires. A strong propo‐ nent of living life to the fullest, Jobs inspired us to listen to our inner voice and follow it, because he believed it to be the only way to live the life with passion, love, and purpose.

Kenneth Burke’s Pentad plays a primary role in persuasive situations, particularly when we as scholars try to dissect and understand specific aspects of a speech situation. In this essay I used Burke’s Pentad as a framework to explore Steve Jobs’ use of, as I term it, “internal and external ethos” as not only a persuasive mechanism, but also as a force to build his persona/mythological legacy.

  • SHIFTING INTO a HIGHER GEAR Raising Your Game—Individually and Organizationally
    INTRODUCTION SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR Raising Your Game—Individually and Organizationally “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.” —Steve Jobs Living in the Age of Uber We were recently at a wedding dinner in Boston honoring the daughter of a close friend from India. The daughter married a boy in the United States, and we were a few of the fortunate guests invited. As the dinner was winding down, the younger sister of the bride was ready to call it a night. She exclaimed, “I’m getting Uber! Who wants to go back to the hotel with me?” She then began placing the order on her iPhone. Within seconds she exclaimed excitedly, “A Suburban we can all fit in will be here in 10 minutes.” A few minutes later she nudged someone sitting next to her and asked, “Hey, shall I get a black one?” After getting confirmation that the color black was definitely the coolest of all color choices, she modified her order. And within 10 minutes she and others climbed into a shiny, new black Chevy Sub- urban. And that was that. 2 REINVENTION In this Age of Uber, there are now more Uber drivers (10,000) in New York City than yellow-cab drivers. New York City cab driv- ers are seeing a serious decrease in their business, and are in the process of asking the government to intervene and protect their livelihoods. But it is not just Uber disrupting the livelihoods of taxi drivers.

  • Steve Jobs, Apple's Visionary, Dies at 56
    Steve Jobs, Apple’s Visionary, Dies at 56 Jim Wilson/The New York Times Steven P. Jobs introduced the iPhone 4 in San Francisco in 2010. By JOHN MARKOFF Published: October 5, 2011 Steven P. Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then led a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died Wednesday. He was 56. Multimedia The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage. Mr. Jobs had waged a long and public struggle with cancer, remaining the face of the company even as he underwent treatment. He continued to introduce new products for a global market in his trademark blue jeans even as he grew gaunt and frail. He underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in 2004, received a liver transplant in 2009 and took three medical leaves of absence as Apple‟s chief executive before stepping down in August and turning over the helm to Timothy D. Cook, the chief operating officer. When he left, he was still engaged in the company‟s affairs, negotiating with another Silicon Valley executive only weeks earlier. “I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple‟s C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know,” Mr. Jobs said in a letter released by the company. “Unfortunately, that day has come.” By then, having mastered digital technology and capitalized on his intuitive marketing sense, Mr.

  • Narrative and Rhetorical Analysis of Steve Job's Discourse in 2014
    Narrative and rhetorical analysis of Steve Job’s discourse in 2014 By Pablo Ruiz Appendices Appendix 1 ‘You've got to find what you love’, Jobs says. This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop- in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.

    International Journal of English, and Literature (IJEL) ISSN(P): 2249-6912; ISSN(E): 2249-8028 Vol. 6, Issue 1, Feb 2016, 47-58 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. SPEECH AS TEXT FOR TEACHING: AN ANALYSIS OF LINGUISTIC AND STYLISTIC MANEUVERINGS OF STEVE JOBS’ FAMOUS SPEECH STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH AND EXERCISES FOR ENHANCING STUDENTS’ LANGUAGE SKILLS MANOJ KUMAR 1 & SANJAY KUMAR 2 1Research Scholar, JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India 2Associate Professor, JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT Analysis of speeches offers more opportunities for the learners to grasp all the nuances of a given text of a speech in comparison to prose, poem or story. Usually students find the exercises on prose passage or poem stanzas somewhat cumbersome. Comparatively the diction in speeches is more comprehensible and approachable to the students than the diction and discourse in prose or poem. Further, the analysis of a speech helps them explore the style of the speaker, the language used, the sentence structure, the use of figures of speech and the lexical and grammatical Article Original elements used by the speaker. Since speeches are delivered in any age, place and situation, they reflect the exigencies and milieu of that era, context and country. Helping students explore speeches linguistically and stylistically therefore, we can help them conceptualise the social, cultural and political perspectives of a time, nation, and context. The present paper analyses a speech of a young business icon Steve Jobs and devises exercises based on it. This speech has been chosen for analysis on the basis of its motivational touch, inspirational content and organisational relevance.
