technology thinking self
Sergey and I founded Google because we're super optimisitc about the potential for technology to make the world a better place. Think about how many people are underserved by transportation today, like those with disabilities, and how self driving cars will transform their lives. Or the wasted time you sit in your car every day commuting to and from work. Or the deaths and injuries that could be avoided.
believe thinking organization
Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don't believe that change is possible. But if you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you're likely to have issues.
meaningful jobs business
My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.
technology smartphones world
Most of us carry at least one device, all the time, every day. In fact many of us would feel naked without our smartphone. It's hardly surprising mobile search queries - and mobile commerce - are growing dramatically across the world.
hard-work technology people
Technology should do the hard work so people can do the things that make them the happiest in life.
building should great-things
We should be building great things that don't exist
business ideas young-entrepreneurs
You don't need to have a 100-person company to develop that idea.
people world computer
People are starving in the world, not because we don't have enough food, but because we're not organized. And computers are part of that.
business believe long
We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served - as shareholders and in all other ways - by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains. This is an important aspect of our culture and is broadly shared within the company.
dream morning inspiration
You know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know that if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning. Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.
inspiring beach long
If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.
inspirational motivational good-morning
If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.
graduation dream dog
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts. But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. There are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name. They all travel as if they are pack dogs and stick to each other like glue. The best people want to work the big challenges.
people focus innovation
You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.
