17 colossal Sergei Brin quotes that will make you laugh and think 

Sergei Brin founded Google together with Larry Page to give us the information we need at out fingertips. It is exciting to see which projects they are undertaking to make knowledge available to everyone and profit a little (or a lot) from it. Very few inventions have affected modern to the same extent as Google did. Here are 17 quotes from Sergei Brin to make you laugh and think

  1. We want Google to be the third half of your brain.
  2. I would like to see anyone be able to achieve their dreams, and that's what this organization does.
  3. You always hear the phrase, money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.
  4. The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.
  5. We just want to have great people working for us.
  6. Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world.
  7. Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
  8. Some say Google is God. Others say Google is Satan. But if they think Google is too powerful, remember that with search engines unlike other companies, all it takes is a single click to go to another search engine.
  9. Google actually relies on our users to help with our marketing. We have a very high percentage of our users who often tell others about our search engine.
  10. I feel there's an existential angst among young people. I didn't have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.
  11. Today, if you want to access a typical out-of-print book, you have only one choice - fly to one of a handful of leading libraries in the country and hope to find it in the stacks.
  12. I wish there were a hundred services with which I could easily look at such a book; it would have saved me a lot of time, and it would have spared Google a tremendous amount of effort.
  13. We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.
  14. Once you go from 10 people to 100, you already don't know who everyone is. So at that stage you might as well keep growing, to get the advantages of scale.
  15. When I was growing up, I always knew I'd be in the top of my class in math, and that gave me a lot of self-confidence.
  16. But the vast majority of books ever written are not accessible to anyone except the most tenacious researchers at premier academic libraries. Books written after 1923 quickly disappear into a literary black hole.
  17. If Google Books is successful, others will follow.

Conclusion

The best quote of these ones is solving big problems is easier than solving small problems. This shows how leaders think who have an impact. When you get up every morning thinking about how to cure cancer and the effect that would have it is a more exhilarating outlook for the day than just making a living to pay for the next vacation.
