"Naked" usually means to be bare, or without clothing. Steve Jobs in this video, however, uses this word to express that the students are still "pure" and "unwritten," similar to a blank sheet of paper. That is why he advises them to "follow their heart." Ex: The man ran down the street naked. Ex: Be naked with your feelings. Don't keep anything bottled up inside.
