Success is really about being ready for the good opportunities that come before you. It's not to have a detailed plan of everything that you're going to do. You can't plan innovation or inspiration, but you can be ready for it, and when you see it, you can jump on it.

We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about.

We want to make sure the thing you're looking for is on Google 100 percent of the time.

If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

I'm able to bring business expertise but, more importantly, operating experience. The people here at Google are young. Every day there are lots of new challenges. I keep things focused. The speech I give everyday is: "This is what we do. Is what you are doing consistent with that, and does it change the world?"

The trend has been mobile was winning. It's now won.

I still believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn something.
