Recent Interview with Hasso Plattner (SAP Co-Founder)

This is an interesting article that provides some inside into the SAP Co-Founders thinking about Germany, the USA, SAP, Hana, Steve Jobs and a couple of other topics.

I found the following two comments especially interesting

1.  " People would often rather put together a 50-page PowerPoint presentation than simply say: We want this and this!". Very interesting indeed. I think he is absolutely right that some people prefer to write down everything in some fancy language and on impressive slides instead of going straight to the point. The objective is to get the work done quickly and time to market is becoming more important every day.
2. "We take too little pleasure in success". I'm taking this a little out of context here but I think who works hard should also be able to enjoy what he did. If you just run from one goal to the next where is the fun? Where is the reward? Stop from time to time and enjoy what you did.
