“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back”.
“I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do”.
“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life”.
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important”.
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new”.
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me”.

Most likely its not available outside of Korea because the publisher doesn’t own the rights or has licensing of those photos.

Be Hungry, Be Foolish?
I thought it was Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish?
so it’s vietnamese but sold in south korea? That make sense!
this calendar’s price is 60.000 VND. You can ask your friend to buy it and send to Korea.
oh sorry about “Korea”, I thought you live in Korea.
Kinda gay to have a calendar of Steve
Is there any problem when it comes from Vietnam?
It’s not beautifully designed. It’s beautifully copied from other people pictures. Steve Jobs was great, but I doubt the author or maker of this calendar really knows anything about Mr. Jobs. He hated copy right infringement.
English and Vietnamese
If you order above 1000 pcs. I think can changing to Korea
I will by 2 for a friend in France.
