I count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) Greek Philosopher
Video: Sergey Brin of Google speaks at Berkeley
Sergey Brin's views on search, Google, and life. This lecture is from the UC Berkeley course Search Engines, Technology, Society, and Business. October 3, 2005. (39 mins)
Comments by David Gurteen: Sergey Brin is the co-founder of Google along with Larry Page. This talk is mainly a Q&A session but it is interesting to observe Sergey. He comes across as just a regular sort of a guy - in fact rather bumbling at times.

Quotations from Aristotle:
What is common to the greatest number gets the least amount of care. Men pay most attention to what is their own; they care less for what is common; or at any rate they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned. Even when there is no other cause for inattention, men are more prone to neglect their duty when they think that another is attending to it.
