My encounter with THE GOOGLE STORY..
Hello Friends,
Last month I was traveling, going to Chennai alone so wanted a book to company me in my journey as it was a long journey of 30 hours.. So I went to a book stall on railway station. I was looking thru all the books available...'THE GOOGLE STORY' was lying in front. I wanted to buy it but didnt felt like as it was quite thick around 400 pages.... So was looking for all the other options.Sidney sheldon,Paulo Cohelo and other love stories and mysteries and all..Bookstall man showed me everything but my mind was again n again gt attracted towards GOOGLE Story.. Finally I made up my mind and bought it. And then my journey began with the Google founders...I really enjoyed my journey with them and my time just passed away...It was really fascinating and at times i really wished to be a part of Google..
The best thing about Google Inc. is their woking culture...Their working place is facilitated with everything from a good Food to entertainment to gym to everything which makes a person feel at home..Google founders believed in providing home like culture so that the people who are working there can give their best in everything without wandering their mind in other tensions of food and all..They especially focused on Food and had a big team of good cooks o serve all the varieties at on place..Which are at times not possible in the market also...
They build up their own hardware and software and download all the possible things available over the web..wooooooooooooooh..Its hard to imagine their infrastructure and the components available dere...The two Big Brains Larry Page and Sergey Brin although with different opinions have one thing in common and thats their zeal to achieve...How the things turned out in their life and the way they took each moment as an oppurtunity to expand and excel is really inspiring.. They are true inspirers for us and coming generations...
They started with the aim to serve...They never advertise for them but they had become a source for advertisements to many others...And this has helped them in becoming one of the fortune comapny in the world.. Their encounter with Yahoo and Microsft was also very interesting to read...Each chapter took to different parts of the Google makers and really enjoyable...A Must Read for everyone..
This book not only gave me a nice company during my journey but also taught me the realities of corporate life and inspired me how a belief in oneself and strong determination can lead towards success...
