anuary 1996..Larry and Sergey, Two Stanford computer science grad students, begin collaborating on a pathbreaking innovative idea of a search engine called BackRub.BackRub operates on Stanford servers for a year – eventually taking up too much bandwidth.Just two years after Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim writes a check for $100,000 to an entity that doesn’t exist yet – a company called Google Inc.And with that money Google sets up workspace in Susan Wojcicki’s garage at 232 Santa Margarita, Menlo Park.
It's now just 13 years later, Google Inc has just grown up from a small office in garage to skyscrapers with Multi-Billion dollar Business spanning accorss almost all part of the world.Proving Google as the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence....Because google search engine knows everything!!and every one knows Google!!! :-)

It's true!...Another exhilarating achievement story about a startup grown from a garage to epiccenter of innovative thinking..its all started with a College Dropout who couldn't see the value in formal college education and had struggled a lot during his initial days without having any place to sleep and proper food to eat. He didn't have a dorm room, so he slept on the floor in friends' rooms .He used to walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.In 1976,When he was just 20 started a company with the help of his friend in his parents garage .they worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of them in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.
The first few years or so things went well. But then steve and his board of directors visions of the future began to diverge and eventually they fired Steve jobs from his own company.
True!!...An optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.After being fired fromApple, Without losing heart He Discovered a little animation company that needed a vision.Liked the product so much he bought the company and named it as Pixar Animation Studios, which has created eight of the most successful and beloved animated films of all time: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and Ratatouille. Pixar has won 20 Academy Awards and its films have grossed more than $4 billion at the worldwide box office to date.
In the meantime, without steve jobs Apple Inc became just like a body without soul . In1996 Apple reinstated Jobs as the Chief Executive Officer .Later he helped to grow Apple from a company bordering on bankruptcy in the 1990s to a very successful company today . Now ,Apple leads the industry in innovation with revolutionary and truely amazing products like iPod and iPhones.
When i was a kid ...i was so keen to watch SachinTendulakr playing cricket match against pakistan .Still i remember about his debut match when he was just 16 , It was common belief those days that a young boy like sachin won't be able to keep the nerve against the piercing pakistan bowling attack for too long . But, defying all our beliefs Sachin destroyed the much feared Pakistan bowling attack and clearly showed his authority of a class batsman .I was not sure what was going through his mind at that point of time. but, it resulted in Paradigm shift in peoples thinking about the way we look at game of cricket.
There are thousand examples like above we can find in our real life.These people are no different from us.They are not "chosen one" .But,They themselves chosen to be different from others. These people think differently, unconventionally with a new perspective much different from set of beliefs we follow. They invent. They imagine. They heal.They explore. They create. They inspire.They push the human race forward And They change the way we see our world forever!! :-)
