You know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night

Future simple

And you know how, if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning.

Well, I had one of those dreams when I was 23.

What if we could download the whole web, and just keep the links, and I grabbed a pen and started writing.

Sometimes it is important to wake up and stop dreaming.

I spent the middle of that night scribbling out the details and convincing myself it would work.

Soon after, I told my advisor, Terry Winograd, it would take a couple of weeks for me to download the web -

he nodded knowingly, fully aware it would take much longer but wise enough not to tell me.

The optimism of youth is often underrated.

Amazingly, at that time, I had no thoughts of building a search engine.

But much later, we happened upon a better way of ranking, and we make a really great search engine and Google was born.

When a really great dream shows up, grab it!

I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams.

But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.

In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.

They all travel as if they are pack dogs and they stick to each other like glue.

The best people want to work on the big challenges.

Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

But we almost didn't start Google actually because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of the Ph.D. program.

You are probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm.

That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck.

Parents and friends: more credit cards always help.

What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!

As a Ph.D. student, I actually had three projects

Thank goodness my advisor said, "Why don't you work on the web for a while?"

He gave me some seriously good advice because the web was growing with people and activity, even in 1995.

Technology, and especially the internet can really help you be lazy.

What I mean is a group of three people can write software that ten millions can use and enjoy.

Can three people answer the phone a million times a day?

Find the leverage in the world so you can be truly lazy!
