Steve Jobs: The Übermensch

// October 6th, 2011 // No Comments » // Business, News, Philosophy, Technology

I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?  All creatures hitherto have created something beyond themselves: and do you want to be the ebb of the great tide, and return to the animals rather than overcome man?  What is the ape to men? A laughing stock or a painful embarrassment. And just so shall man be to the Superman: a laughing stock or a painful embarrassment”. ~Nietzsche – Thus Spoke Zarathustra

That is how I would describe Steve Jobs. The Man who always strives to overcome himself, to overcome its limitations. The Man who inspires by simply being himself, and doing what he does. A Man that simply cannot be overshadowed. The Man whose creations do not only inspire by the virtue of their creation but by awe to their potential. The Super-Man…

I could not have written it better:

“I love him who lives in order to know, and seeks to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live.  Thus seeks he his own down-going.  I love him who labors and invents, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus seeks he his own down-going”. ~Nietzsche

I love him… I will miss him… Rest in peace!

Bidplaza.it is finally up and running!

// November 5th, 2007 // 7 Comments » // Business, News

It has been 5 months since the decision was made for a new start-up. It was a new country, a new business model, a new challenge. 5 months of hard work, sleepless nights and tough decisions.

There was to localize, there was to develop, there was to structure, there was to partner, there was to invest, there was to decide, there was to market, there was to support, there was to design, there was to hire, there was to buy, there was to sell…

Then there was to finally launch!!

And there is to localize, there is to develop, there is to structure, there is to partner, there is to invest, there is to decide, there is to market, there is to support, there is to design, there is to hire, there is to buy, there is to sell…

The unexplainable feeling of traveling uncharted seas, of finding new horizons and building your home on virgin lands. Setting your own standards of excellence in doing so…

I love start-upping! I love my job…

Bidplaza.it is born… and growing up!

What is this all about ?

// September 2nd, 2007 // No Comments » // News

Hello, my name is Sadok Kohen and I am involved with technology since forever now. I decided to start my own Blog feeling that it was time for me to share my life experiences. This is going to be about the Internet, Technology and Life.

The Net is changing and the way we live our lives is changing with it. The “Information Flow” has taken an unexpected wild turn in the sense that it freed itself from being able to be controlled. User generated content took care of all that. With it another issue arose tough: Clutter.

The challenge today is making your way trough this “Monster”. I always believed that the education process is the art of “learning how to find the correct information”. Choosing wisely who and what to listen to. Its a process that starts unconsciously in our childhood and has been tried to be controlled and manipulated since then by closed book exams and standardized institutions. Today this (although VERY slowly) is finally evolving.

So what this is about is a journey trough a jungle. I’ll try to use my scimitar as clean cut as possible…
