Four words from Steve Jobs, the late co-founder of US technology company Apple, have become famous. In his 2005 Stanford University convocation speech, he said the four words, 'Stay Hungry, Stay Fulish'. What he means is that it is foolish to be hungry.

Exactly 15 years later, his successor, Apple CEO Tim Cook, uttered four words during a difficult time of the coronavirus epidemic. "Think Anew, Act Anew" he told students at a Ohio State convocation in a video message. Money stands, think of something new, do something new.

Addressing the students, Tim Cook said, 'Build a better future than you thought for sure and show us the way to hope again at this frightening time.

Apple's chief executive said, "Take this unusual situation as a badge of honor." Those who take the time of historical challenge with open eyes and heart and strive accordingly can make a great impact in the lives of others.

Recalling his involvement with Apple, Cook said: "When I joined Apple in 1997, I couldn't believe my luck. I was going to spend the rest of my professional life working for Steve Jobs. When Steve Jobs died of a long battle with cancer in 2011, I was deeply moved.'

Cook said, ‘Fate comes like a thief in the night. The loneliness I felt when we lost Steve proved that there was nothing stronger than the impact we had on others.'

Cook urged the students to remember the present time very well. He said, 'Keep in mind what is the real need at this time. Keep track of the health and well-being of our loved ones, from doctors to those who dedicate themselves to the service of others.'
