Google’s success story teaches us many lessons.

Google aims to help us in every aspect of our daily lives, from making it easier to connect with people around the world to organizing our workday.

So we can focus only on what matters. Everyone knows this, but many of us must wonder who the geniuses behind our everyday friend are.

Google…!? And what is the success story behind this great website!?

The founders: the making of the geniusesSergey Brin and Larry Page are the stars of today’s success story.

These two young men grew up in an environment built around two fundamental things: mathematics and computers. For them, everything was a math problem. Everything.

A point worth exploring is that the two shared the same interests and ambitions, as well as skills that complemented each other.

.

Plant knowledge in the right place, and you will reap scholars…

This is what the parents of the two geniuses believed, since we all recognize the important role parents play in anyone’s “success story.”

Both families recognized their children’s potential from an early age. Both children attended Montessori school, which focuses on fostering and developing abilities

creativity in young children, as well as their mental and physical skills during adolescence.

Sergey’s parents also specialized in science and technology. His mother worked as a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, where she worked on a program simulating the natural conditions that affect space travel, such as atmospheric pressure and temperature. His father was Michael

Brin, a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland, published several research papers on solving complex mathematical problems and contributed to the fields of

abstract geometry and motion systems. As a result, both families played a significant role in shaping the “success story” of these two innovators.

Sometimes a chance encounter is better than a thousand appointments…

This is what happened with Sergey Brin and Larry Page at university: these two ambitious geniuses met by chance, got to know each other, and talked about many different subjects.

They discovered that they shared the same dream: finding important information among hundreds or thousands of pieces of data. This became the foundation of their “success story.”

Did their expertise and creativity come from nowhere? Is theoretical study enough to achieve our greatest goals?

Of course, theory alone is not enough to foster creativity. It needs to be refined and applied through practical experience—and that is where the jobs held by these two geniuses came in.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page—the idea that would later lead to the founding of the famous company Google.

Brin got a university job researching information across a vast database, while Page got a job at AltaVista.

At the time, AltaVista was the most famous search engine, and this is where their success story began.

.

A search engine: the inspiration behind the two partners’ success story

Page was always fascinated by the search engine: how it displayed results as links, and clicking on a site opened it on another page. It was something...

It was new to him, but what he thought about most was how to put the most important information first in the search engine. He wondered how to make the entire internet a subject...

…on a small computer. When he posed this question to his professor, the professor called him crazy.

Google is born… From poverty and determination, Google was born:

“Page” met up with his friend “Brin” and found that he was thinking along the same lines and pursuing the same goal. They agreed to build their own search engine, given their capabilities.

After assessing what they wanted in mid-1998, and while developing the search engine, the two began looking for a backer who could help them retain ownership of the code. But—

Their friend David Filo, founder of Yahoo!, encouraged them, saying it would be better to start a company and develop the search engine themselves.

But they needed money. They left their PhD plans behind, drew up a business plan and strategy, and went looking for a backer and investor.

.

Lack of funding stood in the way of Google’s success story

Their first step was made easier when a university member connected them with Andy Bechtolsheim, one of Sun’s founders.

He told them, “I don’t want to get into the details; I don’t have time. How about $100,000? Will that be enough? I’ll make it payable to a company called ‘Google.’”

But their problems weren’t over… Google didn’t exist at the time, so they couldn’t cash the check.

.

A simple mistake gave birth to Google

They decided to give the search engine and the company a name connected to the company’s purpose. They chose to name the company

“Googol”—a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by one hundred zeros.

But a typo when registering the domain turned it into “Google”!

Over time, the name became “Google,” and the term has since entered dictionaries to mean using the Google search engine to find information.

Patience bears fruit, and relief will come… a remarkable success story.

And, at last, signs of a breakthrough began to appear.

This time, they secured a $1 million bank loan and launched the company within two weeks—on September 7, 1998, to be exact.

They worked day and night to improve the search engine until it could compete with others—and even outperform them. They were indeed named “Best Search Engine” by a computer magazine.

At the time, Google was handling 10,000 queries a day.

.

The ambition was to create more than just the best search engine—it was to build the greatest success story

As mentioned earlier, their goal was to find a way to rank website links by importance. The two succeeded in developing a search engine model based

on the relationships between websites, rather than simply on how often the search term and its variations appeared on them.

After extensive research, in 1999 they developed what is now known as The Ads adswords-Pageranking—the ability to generate revenue through search.

In the search engine, Google was the first to develop and invent this technology, enabling certain websites to appear at the top of search results.

They beat AltaVista!

However, they assigned the technology to the university, since all the research had initially been conducted there, and the judge also ruled that the rights belonged to the university.

All rights are registered in the university’s name, and Google is entitled to use them through 2011.

In 2000, Google began using technology and a service for selling ads through search keywords. This technology was pioneered by goto.com, and later

Yahoo acquired it and renamed it Yahoo Search Marketing. At first, Google and Yahoo operated under a partnership agreement, but later…

Google acquired the technology.

.

Google was the first to turn a profit

Everyone was failing to generate revenue from search engines except Google, which was able to use the technology very effectively.

Google later introduced the Google Toolbar, which let users search without visiting the website. The toolbar gained

widespread popularity and made users much more closely connected to Google’s services.

Google later made its services available in Arabic, Turkish, and more than 26 other languages.

Google also offers many free services and programs, including advertising, photo, discussion group, news, book, and shopping services;

as well as blogging and encyclopedias. One of Google’s most important software products is Google Earth, which lets users view most of the world’s cities and regions

using satellite and aerial imagery.

— A “success story” about a great company, Google, and two remarkable people, Sergey Brin and Larry Page:

Nine years ago, Google began with $1 million in funding. Today, Google’s market value exceeds $150 billion.

Page’s fortune is currently estimated at around $18 billion, placing him 33rd on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, directly behind his partner Brin. As for Brin

His net worth now exceeds $18 billion.

This story isn’t made up—it’s happening right here on this planet. These two young men are just like you and me, but they were—and still are—ambitious and confident in every step they take.

They aren’t deterred by anyone’s opinions, criticism, or mockery. They know their dream and their abilities best.

We shouldn’t just read “stories of great people’s success”; we should learn from them and draw strength and energy from them, putting our minds to work so we can make our mark on the path to “success”—in any

form, at any scale, and to any extent. What matters is valuing ourselves as we deserve and using our minds in ways that are useful and productive. Behind every “success” are “stories” of failure

and difficulties. But hard work, determination, and patience are the way to “success” and excellence.
