Here is Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, at his commencement speech for Carnegie Mellon.

There are few key quotes from the video.

“We got our news from newspapers, your generation gets it from blogs and tweets, and for those of you who don’t know, that’s not what you hear in zoos.”

“We thought ‘friend’ is a noun, you think it’s a verb.”

“You cannot plan innovation. You cannot plan invention. All you can do is try very hard to be at the right place and be ready.”

“How should you behave? Well, do things in a group. Don’t do things by yourself. Groups are stronger, Groups are faster. None of us is as smart as all of us.”

“You’ll find today is the best chance you have to start being unreasonable, to demand excellence, to drive change, to make everything happen.”

Enjoy,

New Story of the Hare and Tortoise 

**Good story to read

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. 
 
The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. 

He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. 
 
The hare woke up and realised that he'd lost the race. The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race. 
 
This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with. 
 
But then recently, someone told me a more interesting version of this story. It continues.
