This is the English version of the post below

I’d suggest the title as a localized alternative for Steve Jobs’ famous quote “stay hungry, stay foolish.” Why?

In Vietnamese the equivalent for ‘hungry’ has the narrower meaning of ‘physical hunger for food’, and little of ’strongly or eagerly desirous’ in general as it is meant to be in the quote. The majorities, who have either experienced or instinctly feared physical hunger, will not find the original phrase as appealing! I’m not an exception, I can say
The other reason is that when one has little fear about his stomach, he is more likely to accept the risk of being ‘foolish,’ which has never been a norm in VN’s 4-thousand-year cuture.

So why not be full-ish, guys !
