Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
(Gandhi)
La vie est un défi à relever, un bonheur à mériter, une aventure à tenter.
Nous réalisons que ce que nous accomplissons n'est qu'une goutte dans l'océan.
Mais si cette goutte n’existait pas dans l'océan, elle manquerait.
(Mère Teresa)

Mon Dieu, donne moi le courage de changer les choses que je peux changer,
la sérénité d'accepter celles que je ne peux pas changer,
et la sagesse de distinguer entre les deux.
(Marc-Aurèle)
It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aims is too high and we miss it
but that it is too low and we reach it.
(Michel Ange)
People want to be part of something larger than themselves.
They want to be part of something they’re really proud of, that they’ll fight for, sacrifice for , trust.

The GLAT (Google Labs Aptitude Test) is about technique and creativity :
.. Creativity
* Question 2 : Write a Haiku describing possible methods for predicting search traffic seasonality
* Question 9 : This space intentionally blank. Please fill it with something that improves on emptiness.
* Question 14: What will be the next great improvement in search technology?
(by the way a good to have ideas!)
* Question 15: What is the optimal size of a project team above which additional members do not contribute productivity equivalent to the percentage increase in the staff size?
* Question 21: In 29 words or fewer, describe what you would strive to accomplish if you worked at Google Labs.
..Technique
* Question 1: Solve this cryptic equation, realizing of course that values for M and E could be interchanged. No leading zeros are allowed. WWWDOT - GOOGLE = DOTCOM
* Question 3: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221. What is the next line?
* Question 8: How many ways can you color an icosahedron with one of three colors on each face?
* Question 12: In your opinion, what is the most beautiful math equation ever derived?
* Question 17: Consider a function which, for a given whole number n, returns the number of ones required when writing out all numbers between 0 and n. For example, f(13)=6. Notice that f(1)=1. What is the next largest n such that f(n)=n?

(Extract of) Paradox of our times on SlideShare
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families
More conveniences, but less time
We have more degrees, but less common sense
More knowledge, but less judgment
We have more experts, but more problems
More medecine, but less wellness
We multiplied our possessions, but reduce our valuers
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
We've learned how to make living, but not a life
We've added years to life, not life to years
We buy more, enjoy it less
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
But have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice,
We've learn to rush, but not to wait
We've higher incomes, but lower morals
...
Conclusion : Every day, every hour, every minute is special and you don't know if it will be your last, so enjoy now not later

Les paroles en français du "Ka mate", le Haka chantée et dansée par les All Blacks avant leurs matchs. Le Ka Mate aurait été composé vers 1820 par Te Rauparaha, un grand chef local.
Ka mate Ka mate
Je meurs, je meurs
Ka ora Ka ora
Je suis vivant, je suis vivant
Ka mate Ka mate
Je meurs, je meurs
Ka ora Ka ora
Je suis vivant, je suis vivant
Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
C'est l'homme chevelu
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Qui a fait briller le soleil à nouveau pour moi
Ah Upane Upane
Un pas vers le haut, puis un autre
Upane Kaupane
Un pas vers le haut, un autre
Whiti te ra
Le Soleil brille !
