(birds chirping)
(cat purring)
(upbeat tone playing)
(deep breathing)
- Hey, good morning.
- [Man] These are the ones
that motivate me to get up every day.
- [Woman] Sleep snatchers.
- (speaks in a foreign language)
Welcome, welcome to my playground.
(gentle piano music)
- You ready, shy?
- Hi, good morning.
- Say good morning, Muchacho.
(water running)
- When we're kids we have all these super wild dreams.
I used to wanna be a vet,
I used to wanna be an animal breeder.
- [Woman] I will take you outside now.
- [Woman] I grew up in a family of inventors
in a small town in India. (bells ringing)
- [Woman] I live in the South of Germany,
where I grew up has half Bavarian and half Portuguese.
- I grew up the daughter of a blue collar family.
I was the first person in
either side of my family to go to college.
- I didn't have a degree, I still don't.
And I just didn't think that it would be possible
to work for a tech company being like me.
- [Man] We are all different, we are all unique.
- [Woman] And I think we're all
just trying to make a difference
in this world while we're in it.
(pellets dropping)
- [Woman] That's a happy dog.
(ears flapping)
- [Woman] Delicious scrambled eggs.
- [Woman] An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
(machine whirring)
- Coffee is a must. (laughs)
Gotta make sure I have it.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Amen.
- [Woman] When you look at people
that are extremely talented, or that are really successful,
you don't always see the effort that they
had to put in behind the scenes.
- Just the sound of the birds and the morning trees,
it's spectacular.
- [Woman] Normally I just sit down for 10 to 15 minutes
every day and try to not think about anything.
- Getting ready every day for work
is clearly a three person job! (laughs)
- This is how I start my day. (laughs)
- [Woman] Who are the people that make up this company
and what is their personal story?
- I'm lucky, I get to start my day
with my teammates in Europe and end every day
with my teammates in Asia.
We are all part of one larger global community.
- [Man] Good morning everybody, how you doing?
(voices overlapping) (laugh)
- [Woman] Every initiative for any work that you do
is just another learning opportunity.
- Here we are in the office!
- [Woman] There's just so much to learn
(speaks in a foreign language) About yourself,
about the people around you, about the world
and it's limitless.
- [Man] When I get to throw ideas out,
and other people throw ideas back at me,
it just adds energy and inspiration to what I'm doing.
- [Woman] While we are moving ahead
and inventing new technology,
at the same time we are affecting nature.
- [Woman] I want my kids to be able to
enjoy the same kind of environment that I grew up with.
I just don't know how long it's gonna last.
- [Man] How are we going to change the way
we're treating the environment?
How are we gonna fight injustice and inequality?
How are we gonna change the way mental health is treated
and how do we remove stress from our lives?
(water running)
- What really worries me is that
I'm not gonna be able to do it all.
- One of my biggest fears is speaking up.
- When I Was growing up, I didn't have
anybody that I could look up to
that was a successful, business-oriented Latina woman.
- My greatest fear is not realizing my full potential.
- So that, sometimes, is a little
insecurity in the back of my head.
- I learned that its okay to feel those low moments
and not force yourself to hold them back and embrace it
because that's also who I am.
That's part of me.
(upbeat music)
- Guess what, the sun is out a little bit!
Perfect timing to go out for a little walk.
Say hello!
- I come here to breathe and to
get in contact with Mother Nature.
(mouth imitating noises)
- It really breaks the meeting time,
and makes you more productive.
- Greetings everyone, welcome to this
virtual session of DevOps Tools on Azure.
- [Man] A lot of people that, you just never really thought
could work together are doing exactly that.
A lot of things that you didn't think could be done
from home are being done from home.
- [Woman] In the field of technology,
it's especially important that we have people from
every different background, with every different perspective
having a seat at the table.
We're essentially crafting the future.
- [Woman] We have the right technology to
feed the population without destroying the planet.
- [Woman] It really does make you feel like you're
touching every corner of the planet.
Not many people can say that.
- [Man] Thursday evening, lining up,
take a knock on the bike.
- [Woman] Here we go!
(exclaiming)
- Skip dad! (laughing)
- Favorite place in my house?
Definitely my workshop.
- I, somewhat, wanna build stuff and be creative.
(soft beeping tune)
- [Woman] I would say I poured my soul into gardening.
And I feel like this is something that I did.
- What I have learned is that by doing it over again,
and being consistent, you will be successful
but it doesn't come overnight.
- [Woman] At the end of the day, I like to
think about the future a lot.
Reflect on myself, my work, and what I'm doing.
- I just wanna inspire other minorities out there.
I wanna be that for somebody.
- [Woman] If you're truly passionate about doing something,
there is no barrier that's insurmountable.
- [Man] To stay connected to people who I love,
(speaking foreign language) that really means a lot to me.
- Sometimes I record myself singing songs
and I send those to my mom to make sure
she's smiling every day.
- I love making my parents proud,
and the look on my dad's face when he says,
"My daughter works at Microsoft."
- [Woman] I really feel like I am fulfilling
what I was placed on this earth to do.
- [Woman] I can be more than just myself.
I can be more than just my role.
- [Woman] You shouldn't be afraid to fly.
While you might make mistakes,
what's most important is to own them
and have the courage of conviction.
- [Woman] Raise your hand, pitch the idea.
- [Woman] To get my voice out,
to get other people's voices out.
- [Man] I really want to excel, to improve,
to learn, to absorb as much as I possibly can
any chance I get.
- It's no longer about knowing,
but it's really about learning.
Learning every day.
- [Man] Empowering others to achieve
all starts with my family.
By helping them realize their aspirations,
just by simply thinking beyond the here and now.
- [Man] And about really trying to create
better opportunities for the next generation of
people that are gonna grow up in this world.
- [Man] Walking the earth today are the
kids or the people that are going to be the
first human beings on Mars.
They have a world of opportunity in front of them,
and the tools to do anything.
Just pick a direction, and go.
(laptop closing)
(laughing)
[In Spanish] See you tomorrow.
