I want to start the
sir conversation by mentioning that larry and I were
word were here well only in London at the very same assumption
in four years ago now when we were here students as many of you are here today
and and the way that began as I received a letter in the mail
you know inviting me answer no you know just come join us monday and there's
going to be mikhail gorbachev was gonna be there
I know shimon peres Madonna the as long lost over
the celebrity names and the first thing I thought was
we really need to do something about junk mail on this country and I was
about to
and I was about to start a new line of products
coming out of Google to deal with that issue am
but somebody kindly decided to actually do
you note actually check tackle South before a disposed in so quickly
and in fact it turned out to be real and
and we came to London and had a great time at many people many of whom are
back here
today for this weekend and I'm having great time seeing again
on and whose
it was very inspiring the earlier many people there who had accomplished
incredible amount
and their lifetime and it was hard to imagine how
we could contribute in the same I'm more we've tried to do our best
most importantly though I was impressed by the plates
because when you are you are honored by the Academy receive
really nice played and I'm and I thought those with no
really well my dining room up primary colors and so we spent the past four
years trying to build something successful enough
but we can earn these plates to
am
and now that I i think we've done we haven't gone them and hand yet but I
think we're more or less done
am so I'm planning to go back and finish my degree now
my PhD my host mom leave of absence and
as my mother keeps reminding me I
there's one minor thing I realized before
I go back and I it's been my experience
now from being at a company that has
that has grown as viewed differently in the world and was when we were smaller
company
from people don't really like the company's
and I pondered how do you
address that issue because you know you wanna be disliked and
I think the real issue
is not is it unfair that people
kinda expect so much big companies and wash them so closely and so for the
questioners
what does the company really doing with all this last resource nurse
from to make the world better to actually do positive things in the world
and I think than people won't be focused on
you know digging deep into particular well what are the results for this
particular query
in our case for example people Maceo the search
you know result we don't like result number three in the search in back and
get a lot of attention
from I think that
a company like Google with you know
okay resources
financially not that bad compared to many other companies but nice
technical resources water distribution love users things like that I think we
have the potential
to make a very big difference is very big positive difference since
in the world and I think we also have an obligation
as consequence for them one thing we started last summer
about a year ago was the Google Grants Program
which is news advertising credit on our network to
to nonprofits and that's now grown close to 300 charities
now that we're supporting and the it doesn't love good things I just I get
notes
the other day we learned that there was a new school for young
young young schoolgirls that was being built in Indonesia for
underprivileged girls and thousands a consequence so far
my nice man in Singapore who'd seen an advertisement based on a Google search
you're done
and now Hughes sponsoring the school arm
we also applied to issues love
world poverty health arm
and inclusiveness and politics
all kinds a very broad range of charities that are currently covered by
Google Grants
and be we decided to take this to the next level
and that's going to be the Google foundation which were in the process of
forming
and there were gonna be able to point resources beyond just advertising credit
into at an actual financial resources and
also arm the skill and
the the technology that we have in our company
I'm it has also been received very warmly by our employees
because they feel like they can be a part of something that's bigger thats
not just designed to help Google but really is designed to help the whole
world
are so that's been a great experience really and now I'll give you a Merry
stake on it
it's an enormous pleasure for me to be her as well
and stocks so many bright people again I still prefer actually taking out with
students are
home once again I'm mad at Stanford
we both thought we were quite obnoxious and maybe that's still true
we don't notice as much anymore around but
I just one into hopefully inspire amongst the students
I know I talked a lot of the last night's and our just said
you know and thinking about your research in Google really is interesting
because it's an example
your research we start a Google we had no idea weird
we started working a century in late 1995
are on the web recent I want to download
going somewhere answer it was interested in data mining and
are we had sent an ideal really what we're doing we're just talking on the
web was interesting and
was a good computer science topic and we could probably get a dissertation to do
something that might be propped Kong might be significant which had all sorts
of things
almost which failed an we came up with a better way of doing ranking which we
didn't think would apply to search long and eventually realize was released for
research
down I think monday take away from me in this is
you know you should pick areas you think are interesting that could be liable or
there's lot activity
house in Staten links cuz I knew no one else was really looking at the links on
the web
Michigan United probably do something with them and
brown I think that's true many users were people
people do interesting things house think it's really important
truss when we're when we're working on this we had
many people answer and I and a couple other people who were tremendously
worked tremendously hard and I think thousand important part
var making all this work and a conversation last night was someone who
will remain nameless
but this on I'm thinking about doing this research in the area
and the workers can incremental on the papers are kinda boring but
you know I'm told a nice publish a lot of papers and our way
you know got my degree in our graduates I'm thinking maybe I should do this but
there's something I really wanted you
the knowns working on the right things much more important and
my advice would be no picture thing that's important you know maybe it
doesn't work out because it's more risky
but you can you know you your PHD might take a few years and you can try a
number of different all those things
and maybe one of them were can be a really big deal so
there's so much potential
you know you're in the room no just I had my advice would be to work
really hard on the things that you think will really matter in the world and
don't be afraid to fail
thank you
insults like we have about a minute for questions
or American tap dance which do you prefer
I'm just kinda curious
you guys are specially for in your life you
made gin or miss announced money
what do you have planned ending if you like be pretty
so much already why I'm still waiting for the plate
machines okay what do you do after Sunday
hound I think
you know there are many important things to life you know aside from
financial more career success can in fact
it's not necessarily the ultimate success that motivates you its processes
getting there &
the technologies for products that you build and whatever rooms
you may be in some I'm not too concerned about finding something to do
am though I do think Ill be based on doing things that I really enjoy
and not have some and goal in mind
I'm just really care
just carry as many as a hundred yes I'm from Harvard Medical School his was
wondering
had to come up with a name cool something in Google
is a large number its one followed by 100 zeros for a certain extra money no
spelled
slightly differently and I was before we had spell checking in those kinda things
an urban riots following so as the rails
thank you thank you
