ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 124

Never be satisfied, and always push yourself.
Stay Foolish.

ANSWER 2
Score 20
Stay hungry can be interpreted as "stay eager", and stay foolish can be interpreted as "be ready to try new things" or "be ready to step out of your comfort zone".
ANSWER 3
Score 19
This phrase purposefully uses negative adjectives in a positive way. This is what gives this phrase its "punch." Taking a word, phrase, or situation and contrasting how it is normally used versus how it is used in a given case is a common rhetorical device.
Hungry here means "wanting something more", as in "He was hungry for a raise." Jobs is putting forward that being dissatisfied with what you have and wanting more is a good thing.
Likewise, someone who is foolish acts without thinking and takes unnecessary risks. Jobs is saying that you SHOULD take stupid risks and throw caution to the wind.
Taken together, Jobs is simply saying: "You only live once, so make it count and go after what you want no matter what."
ANSWER 4
Score 3
If you're "hungry" and "foolish," you are willing to learn. So Jobs was telling people always be willing to learn new things.
