‘Billionaire’ is only one of the words that describe Sergey Brin and, to be honest, probably the last one we would include. He makes billions, but more than just being a money machine, it is about how he reached this point, to begin with.
Sergey is one of the most famous and inspirational entrepreneurs worldwide. Besides knowing how to innovate, he always makes sure that people start to follow their dreams, giving us more than an excellent excuse to keep him as one of our figures to follow.
Today, we’re going to share some of his most inspiring quotes to help you start your day, stay motivated, and dream big.
- “We do lots of stuff. The only way you are going to have success is to have lots of failures first.”
- “Too many rules stifle innovation.”
- “I had no dreams of such economic success. You should have fun and not be so weighed down by expectations.”
- “We should be building great things that don’t exist.”
- “You can make money without doing evil.”
- “We saw that a thousand results weren’t necessarily as useful as ten good ones.”
- “It’s very hard to fail completely if you aim high enough.”
- “If you’re not some things that are crazy, then you’re doing the wrong things.”
- “If you have a product that’s really gaining a lot of usages, then it’s probably a good idea.”
- “Always deliver more than expected.”
- “Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.”
- “It’s a romantic notion that you’re going to have a one brilliant idea, and then everything is going to be great… but the execution and delivery are what’s key.”
- “When it’s too easy to get money, then you get a lot of noise mixed in with the real innovation and entrepreneurship. Tough times bring out the best parts of Silicon Valley.”
- “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.”
- “I feel there’s existential angst among young people. I didn’t have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.”
- “If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it’s probably not transformative enough.”
- “If I were seriously interested in something important to me, I wouldn’t just click on the first search result, read it and take it as God’s word.”
- “We came up with the notion that not all web pages are created equal. People are – but not web pages.”
- “Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.”
- “You do see more people that have been freed up over the last couple of hundred years to do work that is more about thinking about or creating things… and I would hope to see that trend continue.”
- “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.”
- “I am sometimes something of a lazy person, so when I end up spending a lot of time using something myself – as I did with Google in the earliest of days – I knew it was a big deal.”
- “We wouldn’t survive if people didn’t trust us.”
- “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.”
- “People try new things all the time. By now, the people who succeed have to be very sophisticated.”
- “To me, this is about preserving history and making it available to everyone.”
- “We are focused on features, not products. We eliminated future products that would have made the complexity problem worse. We don’t want to have 20 different products that work in 20 different ways. I was getting lost at our site, keeping track of everything. I would rather have a smaller set of products that have a shared set of features.”
- “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.”
- “Currently, we don’t have plans on conquering the world.”
- “Generally, health is just so heavily regulated. It’s just a painful business to be in. It’s just not necessarily how I want to spend my time.”
- “We have tried to define precisely what it means to be a force for good – always do the right, ethical thing. Ultimately, ‘Don’t be evil,’ seems the easiest way to summarize it.”
