Technology should do the hard work so people can do the things that make them the happiest in life.
Larry PageHow exciting is it to come to work if the best you can do is trounce some other company that does roughly the same thing?
Larry PageLots of companies donโt succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future. I try to focus on that: What is the future really going to be? And how do we create it? And how do we power our organization to really focus on that and really drive it at a high rate? When I was working on Android, I felt guilty. It wasnโt what we were working on, it was a start-up, and I felt guilty. That was stupid! It was the future.
Larry PageIf we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.
Larry PageSergey and I founded Google because we're super optimisitc about the potential for technology to make the world a better place. Think about how many people are underserved by transportation today, like those with disabilities, and how self driving cars will transform their lives. Or the wasted time you sit in your car every day commuting to and from work. Or the deaths and injuries that could be avoided.
