And most important, have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly
want to become . . . stay hungry, stay foolish.

Jobs ends the speech with his headline, his key theme and
advice—stay hungry, stay foolish. As we’ve discussed, Jobs
repeated his key theme several times in a presentation. In this
case, he repeats “stay hungry, stay foolish” three times in the
concluding paragraph.
Jobs’s speech reveals the secret to his success as a business
leader and communicator: do what you love, view setbacks as
opportunities, and dedicate yourself to the passionate pursuit of
excellence. Whether it’s designing a new computer, introducing
new gadgets, running Apple, overseeing Pixar, or giving a pre-
sentation, Jobs believes in his life’s work. This is the last and
most important lesson Jobs can teach—the power of believing
in yourself and your story. Jobs has followed his heart his whole
life. Follow yours to captivate your audience. You’ll be one step
closer to delivering insanely great presentations.
