Stay hungry. Stay Foolish.

Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford in 2005, still resonates with me today. This is probably the most inspirational thing I read in a very long time. It made me think about why I do what I do and the effects of it.

So go on, read it.
Enjoy.

I liked being scared and hungry.

"It's always better to be a little scared and a little hungry. It keeps you working harder." Said by Paula Scher in an interview posted on Design TAXI.

Great words to live by as a designer.
