Larry Page, Google's Co-Founder, gave the Commencement Address at the University of Michigan this past weekend. (Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFb2rvmrahc Read: http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/annc/20090502-page-commencement.html)
There were several quotes from the address that I wanted to share:
"Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming."
UofM's Leadershape program's slogan is to: "[have a] healthy disregard for the impossible."
"I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts. But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition."
"What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!"
"Please keep [your families] close and remember: they are what really matters in life."
The guy's delivering the commencement address at UofM. He co-founded and built one of the most recognizable, and arguably, useful companies in the world. He's worth a bazillion dollars. Seems like a pretty smart fella to me. Maybe we should listen to him.
