Almond flowers survive the long winter and bloom the earliest in early spring. 〈Almond Blossoms (1890)〉 is the first gift Vincent van Gogh gave to his nephew and the last flower painting he painted in the last spring of his 37-year life. In February 1890, Vincent van Gogh, while in the Saint-R?my Asylum, received a letter from his brother Theo containing the happy news of a new son. “As I said before, the child is named after you. And I also wished that this child would be determined and courageous like you.” Gogh was both sorry and grateful that his nephew inherited his name(Vincent), which he had no health, happiness, or success. So Vincent van Gogh painted a pretty flower tree as a gift for his nephew.
It was a picture of a blossoming almond tree in pink and white colors against a blue sky. Theo, who received the painting, said it was very beautiful and hung it over the baby’s crib. Almond flowers that bloom in early spring symbolize new life and hope. Also, the almond tree is known as a symbol of resurrection. Paradoxically, Vincent Van Gogh painted the most hopeful and brightest picture in the darkest and most difficult time. Five months later he died, and his lifelong brother, Theo, followed six months later. So what happened to baby Vincent? He cherished the flower paintings his uncle gave him for the rest of his life, and later donated them along with all his uncle’s posthumous works to the Van Gogh Museum. Would the painter Vincent Van Gogh have imagined the image of his nephew who created an art museum with the name and gift he received from his uncle? Among the fruits of the plant, there are exceptionally many red ones. Why?
Plants bear fruit in order to spread offspring through seeds. However, young plants do not grow well near the mother. Young plants born near their mother do not grow well because they cannot compete with their mother for nutrients and sunlight. Therefore, plant seeds must be moved to a faraway place and sprouted there so that they can grow well without competition and spread over a wide area. Birds have wings and can travel quite far. Then the plant can spread its seeds as far as possible. That is why plants attract birds with their fruits. Birds do not have teeth, so they cannot bite the seeds in the fruit and swallow them whole. The flowers therefore encase the seeds in the “red” flesh that birds love.

Professor Kim is a very genuine figure dedicated to the advancement of democracy and education in Korea.
- Ki-su Lee (Emeritus professor at Moscow State University, former president of Korea University)
Albert Einstein said that the highest value in nature is simplicity. As the author said, the excellence of our lives also comes from simplicity.
- Sang-hee Lee (Chairman of the Green Life Institute, former Minister of Science and Technology)
I expect that this book will contribute to creating a more humane society, a peaceful and beautiful world.
- Ki-pyo Jang (Director of the New Civilization Policy Institute, former Representative of the Social Democratic Party of Korea)
The author pursues plus-sum, not zero-sum. I always support his journey towards common prosperity of mankind.
- Aleksandr Nekipelov (Dean of Economics, Moscow State University, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences)
This book is already interesting just for its title. Because everyone wants a life of excellence and prosperity, but they don't know how.
- Andrey Selivanov (Head of Dept. of the CIS State Committee, deputy of the State Duma 1993-2003, 16-time world champion on chess composition)
Students at Moscow State University love Professor Kim's lectures. His lectures are always exciting, informative and even insightful.

Andrew H. Kim(김흥기)
Andrew H. KIM is the founder of "ABLE Education." He is a renowned HRD & Systems theorist. What he studies is the building of dynamic communities in which individuals can excel and prosper, and sustainable exemplary nations that thrive as a result.
He was engaged in the formulation of national policy at an agency directly under the President of the Republic of Korea. He has served as economic and scientific adviser to several South Korean presidents.
He taught future strategy at KAIST and is a visiting professor at Moscow State University. He has written more than 10 books, including 〈Leonardo da Vinci's Perspective〉 and 〈Work, Money and Bread〉.
저자는 미국 오이코스 대학교의 Vactor Business School 원장으로 재직하고 있다. 해군학사장교(OCS) 보급관으로 군복무를 마쳤다. 행정고시 합격 후 국가안전기획부(現 국가정보원)에 고시 특채되어 분석관과 정보관으로 봉직했다. 산업통상자원부 등 여러 부처의 정책자문위원과 대통령의 지식재산분야 자문위원을 역임했다.
KAIST에서 미래전략과 지식재산을 가르쳤고 2011년 모스크바 국립대학교(MSU) 초빙 교수로 위촉된 이래 러시아 고등경제대학교(HSE) 등 명망 있는 대학에서 강의했고 세계 No.1 교육·학술·연구기관인 중국과학원(CAS) 산하 가상경제 및 데이터과학센터(CAS FEDS)와 공동으로 "중국과학원 지식재산최고위 과정"을 개설하여 역량 있는 지식재산 전문가를 양성했다.
저자는 제네바 국제발명전에서 금상을 수상한 발명가이며, 창업하여 글로벌 유수 기업의 파트너로서 활동한 모험적 기업가일 뿐 아니라 유망한 스타트업들의 성공의 발판과 터전을 만들기도 했다. 교육, 혁신 및 일자리 창출 등 각종 문제를 자문하거나 직접 해결해온 데 이어 이를 심화시켜 개인, 집단, 기업 및 국가 단위의 가치창출을 위한 〈ABLE education〉으로 집대성하여 국경을 넘어 전파하고 있다.
러시아연방 과학과 예술분야 국가영재인 Altair (Sirius)의 고문으로서 모스크바 국립대와 협력하에 ABLE 프로그램을 교육하고 있다. 러시아연방 다게스탄 국립대의 방문학자이자 러시아연방 다게스탄 국립과학원(Russian Academy of Sciences, Dagestan)의 외국인 회원이며, 러시아 스포츠영웅 Khabib 교육·스포츠재단(ROSSI Foundation)의 고문으로도 활동하고 있다.
