I am currently reading The Google Story by David A. Vise. It’s a fascinating peek into the lives of the creators of the phenomenal search engine that has changed the way the world looks for answers changed the world. Theirs is an awe-inspiring story – two great minds, two extraordinary individuals who knew exactly what they wanted and went for it. Makes me think of what else is out there…there is still so much that can be done, if only we can harness the power of our minds and look beyond the limits we have set for ourselves by deciding what can and can’t be done. The book’s first chapter talks about having “A Healthy Disregard for the Impossible.” It talks about how google came to be. Sergey Brin (one of the creators) reminds the reader about the importance of optimism, how we have to be “a little silly about the goals that we are going to set” and “try to do what most people would not.” I like how that sounds.
