Secrets of success from Google co-founder

January 5, 2009

  • It is a tremendous responsibility for us to have all eyes focused on what we do and to give people exactly what they need when they ask for it.

  • We believe it is easy to be penny wise and pound foolish with respect to benefits that can save employees considerable time and improve their health and productivity.

  • Our opportunity and responsibility has continued to expand. It doesn't feel all that different to me than it did a few years ago.

  • The thing that matters is experience. We have lots of executives from failed companies; they learned a lot from these things. They say, 'We can't do that -- we tried that and it didn't work.' So failure is useful.

  • When you have basic technology you find interesting things to do with them, and if you're lucky they'll turn into something big.
