In my 20s, I worked very, very hard. I have a much more balanced life now.
We're focused on providing innovations in software, driving the continuous improvement for a much better experience, and there's a lot going on here that speaks to this decade and what's going to happen in this decade. We can kind of sum it up in terms of saying, "Yes, you can."
Learning from mistakes and constantly improving products is a key in all successful companies.
People who say they don't see the acceleration of innovation is a wilful blindness. We are innovation at a wonderful speed for the basic things we think everyone should get.
Improving the health & productivity of the poorest is one of the best investments you can make in the future of the world
I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world.
If empathy channels our optimism, we will see the empathy and the diseases and the poor school. We will answer with our innovations and we will surprise the pessimists.
Software is the magic thing whose importance only goes up over time.
The future of advertising is the Internet.
Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering. When you finally get done and get to appreciate what you have done it is like a part of yourself that you've put together. I think a lot of the people here feel that way.
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
You always overestimate what you can get done in a year and underestimate what you can get done in 10 years.
The media covers what's new - and millions of people dying is nothing new. So it stays in the background, where it's easier to ignore. But even when we do see it or read about it, it's difficult to keep our eyes on the problem. It's hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don't know how to help. And so we look away.
Started from the chair hop now we here.
