I like the Common Goal initiative, the vision of football as a tool for social change and the power football has to improve the world.

I have a goal in front of me and that is to achieve a gold medal at the Olympics in air rifle shooting.

My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.

I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That’s when I realized that excitement, if it’s happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.

To rally every black sheep is my goal.
Of course, there is no question that Libya – and the world – will be better off with Gaddafi out of power.
