The characteristic of great innovators and

great companies is they see a space that

others do not. They don't just listen to what

people tell them; they actually invent

something new, something that you didn't

know you needed, but the moment you see it,

you say, 'I must have it.'

A lot of the Google inventions came from

engineers just screwing around with ideas.

And then management would see them, and

we'd say, 'Boy, that's interesting. Let's add

some more engineers.'

I've never met a person who does not want a

safer world, better medical care and

education for their children, and peace with

their neighbours. I just don't meet those

people. What I meet, over and over again, as I

travel around, is that the essential human

condition is optimistic - in every one of these

places.

Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me

that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that

cars were invented before computers.

There is a science to managing high tech

businesses, and it needs to be respected. One

of them is that in technology businesses,

leadership is temporary. It's constantly

recycling. So the asset has limited lifetime.

Since I have access to every, every crisis in

the world because it's always blaring at me on

cable television, that doesn't mean I have to

worry about every one of them. This is also

known as knowing where the off button is.

The funny thing about advertising is that it's not

a zero-sum game... Historically, in the digital

ad world, pie has gotten larger and it's

possible for everyone to win, and it's perfectly

possible that will continue to be true for quite

some time.

Remember, when you go to YouTube, you do

a search. When you go to Google, you do a

search. As we get the search integrated

between YouTube and Google, which we're

working on, it will drive a lot of traffic into both

places. So the trick, overall, is generating more

searches, more uses of Google.

I had a rule that I had to go to bed before the

sun came up. So I used to look up the sunrise

times because I thought it would be bad

karma to be going to bed as dawn was

arriving.
