FTA: "Jobs' autograph now adorns the wall of Sushiiwa. It comes with a message: "All good things", a shortened version of the saying "All good things must come to an end.""
> The idea that Jobs had any deep philosophical ponderance of the human condition or introspection on his own mortality is comical.
seriously, tell it brother! He wrote "All good things." to a tasting menu in a restaurant, because he liked the sushi, not because he was even pondering the "all good things must come to an end", which btw is hackneyed and wouldn't indicate ponderous thoughts anyway.
Elsewhere in an article it points out that in the middle of an omakase he asked to be served repeated toro's till he said "stop"... that is sooo removed from japanese culture or any sense of restraint or selflessness, as is his statement (FTA, my paraphrasal) on seeing a zen garden "I WANT THAT"
