Read below famous Quotes of Larry Page.
If you’re changing the world, you’re working on important things. You’re excited to get up in the morning.
Basically, our goal is to organize the world’s information and to make it universally accessible and useful.
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.
If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that’s not going to promote healthiness.
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 have a mantra: don’t be evil, which is to do the best things we know how for our users, for our customers, for everyone. So I think if we were known for that, it would be a wonderful thing.
If you can run the company a bit more collaboratively, you get a better result, because you have more bandwidth and checking and balancing going on.
There’s nothing more fun than doing that work.
If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.
You don’t need to have a 100-person company to develop that idea.
Big companies have always needed and cooperated in areas where it made sense.
We Should Be Building Great Things That Don’t Exist
Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting.
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.
You never lose a dream. It just incubates as a hobby.
The moments that we have with friends and family, the chances that we have to make a big difference in the world or even to make a small difference to the ones we love, all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. It can happen fast and a whole lot sooner than you think.
You’re probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm.
We don’t want our world to change too fast. But maybe we could set apart a piece of the world. I like going to Burning Man, for example. An environment where people can change new things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society. What’s the effect on people, without having to deploy it to the whole world.
