"Mensch" is not jewish, it's simply the German word for "Human". In some situations German native speakers use it similar. Nevertheless great thoughts.
@HrSamstag He did not say Jewish (which is not a language), he said Yiddish, which is a Germanic language. And as he said, Mensch is a Yiddish word and is applicable to the context of what he was trying to explain. The German Mensch wouldn't be.
@chris909303 You're right, he said "yiddisch" (=jiddisch in German), thx. Anyway, it means the same as many german native speakers (like me) use it. It is the general word für "human" and further we use it when we want to say something very good about s.o.
Go to enDOTwikipediaDOTorg/wiki/Mensch (change uppercases in what they say) ""mensch" is "someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character."
Words of wisdom. I wonder how many investors share this depth and understanding. Truly, Guy Kawasaki understands and masters the psychology and undercurrents of entrepreneurship. It is a breeze hearing someone off the usual "we have the money, now start dancing" investors crowd.
in the end, it's the best advice I heard from him..
