Page's Perseverance Pays Off
Larry Page, co-founder of Google, shared his thoughts on setting ambitious goals and overcoming obstacles. In an interview, he reflected on the early days of Google, which began as a university project between himself and Sergey Brin in 1998.
The search engine, then called BackRub, was later renamed to Google, inspired by the mathematical term 'googol,' representing 10 raised to the power of 100. Page emphasized the importance of perseverance and aiming high, even if the ultimate goal is not reached.
He famously said, 'When you aim for the stars, you may not reach them, but you'll still get to the moon.' This quote highlights the value of striving for excellence and using failures as opportunities to learn and improve.
