Thoughtful Quotes

2007/07/12,19:46

I wanted to read something useful in the morning before leaving the home to office. To me, the easiest but a meaningful exercise is to think over quotes of people. The below five quotes, while each is unique and simple, are sure to linger in the hearts of a reader. Thanks to the creators!

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.

- Ayn Rand Rand

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

There are times when you have to obey a call which is the highest of all, i.e., the voice of conscience even though such obedience may cost many a bitter tear, and even more, separation from friends, from family, from the state to which you may belong, from all that you have held as dear as life itself. For this obedience is the law of our being.

- Gandhi Gandhi

The only website that I refer everyday is www.google.com, whether I want to find a subject matter that is interesting to blog about, or a news or exchange rate - whatever it is I google.

Google

So, I thought it would be opt to write about google.

Being a person enchanted by trivia I thought that it would be interesting if I post some interesting stuff about google rather than a write up; Here you go;

1. The first search engine by the founders of google ( Larry Page and Sergey Brin ) was named Back Rub

2. Their office in Menlo Park ( 1998 ) had a door with a remote control and included a washer, dryer and a hot tub with a parking space as well. Yes, it was a garage.

3.Larry and Sergey attempted to attract major portal players of those days, but could not do so and finally they started their own company.

4.What does google mean anyways? Google is a play on the word googol which refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The founders have creatively reflected their mission to organize the massive data in internet through this term.

Rest , I encourage you all to read at http://www.google.com/corporate/history.html

Thanks to google for what it brings to me everyday, including this article and the picture.
