“You may
think using Google’s great, but I still think it’s terrible.”
“The
ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and
it would always give you the right thing. And we’re a long, long ways from
that.”
“Basically,
our goal is to organize the world’s information and to make it universally
accessible and useful.”
“I think
part of the reason we’re successful so far is that originally we didn’t really
want to start a business.”
“If we
were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and
ended up on a beach.”
“If you’re
changing the world, you’re working on important things. You’re excited to get
up in the morning.”
“I would rather
have people think we’re confused than let our competitors know what we’re going
to do.”
“I don’t
think we’re going to run out of important things to do, compared with the
resources we have. There are many problems in the world that need solving.”
“If you
ask an economist what’s driven economic growth, it’s been major advances in
things that mattered – the mechanization of farming, mass manufacturing, things
like that. The problem is, our society is not organized around doing that.”
“We want
to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want
to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly
useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren’t
that many things people use twice a day.”
“We’re at
maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we’re still moving
slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of
the negativity… every story I read is Google vs someone else. That’s boring. We
should be focusing on building the things that don’t exist.”
Have a glorious week everyone.
