Superman comes from a German philosopher,
Friedrich Nietzsche,
one of my favorite
philosophers of all time.
Alright, if you don't tell,
all my friends know by now,
I love Nietzsche.
And Nietzsche had this
concept called the Übermensch,
which basically translates to Superman
from German to English, right.
So Übermensch translates
to Overman and Superman.
So Superman is a metaphor
that Nietzsche had
for somebody who's gone out there
and has conquered life, right.
Imagine the top 5%.
People out there who are the
greatest in their fields,
in their endeavors.
That's a Superman.
Alright, and that's something every person
should strive to be, is to
maximize your fullest potential.
So growing up as a kid,
I didn't even know about this Nietzsche
but I just kind of still felt the same way
about the concept of Superman.
I wanted to go out there
and conquer the world,
not in a superhero kind of way
but in achieving my
dreams, my visions, right.
Anything I wanted to go out there and do,
whether it's being a president,
whether it's starting my own company,
whether it's making lots of money,
I wanted to go out there and do that.
