Career:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone knows Google. But very few people know Google X<\/strong>. Google X is a subsidiary that pursues so-called Moonshot projects. Google Glass, contact lenses that measure blood sugar, balloons with WiFi<\/strong> – all of these are Google X projects.<\/p>\n

Mo Gawdat was Google X’s Chief Business Officer<\/strong> from 2013-2018. He holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and an MBA from the Masstricht School of Management.<\/p>\n

After the death of his son, Mo Gawdat dealt intensively with the subject of being happy<\/strong>. He wrote the book the “Formula for Happiness”. From this arose his mission to make one billion people happy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/h2>\n

5 Learnings from Mo Gawdat\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n1.<\/span> Our default state is to be happy<\/strong><\/span>. According to Mo, we are actually always happy. But there are certain things that prevent us from being happy. If you look at children, this statement is true. If they’re not hungry, injured, or tired, they are happy. In his book he reveals the obstacles that prevent us from being happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n2.<\/span> You are not your thoughts.<\/strong><\/span> Our thoughts have a very big influence on our mood. I’ve never doubted that the voice in my head isn’t me. But according to Mo this is only our brain that generates these thoughts. This is not the real you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n3.<\/span> Your expectations make you unhappy<\/strong><\/span>. It’s one of the easiest ways to become happier, especially in times of a global pandemic. If you approach a topic with high expectations, disappointment is usually inevitable. Set your expectations as low as possible or, better yet, have no expectations at all. This will make you calmer and happier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n4.<\/span> Good leaders start with themselves.<\/strong><\/span> Only those who can lead themselves can lead others. Look for the right balance in your life. Only when you have your body, your mind, your work and your family in the right balance can you inspire other people and show them the way.<\/p>\n5.<\/span> Mindfulness is a tool.<\/strong><\/span> The best algorithm is only as good as the data it is fed with. The same goes for you. Be mindful of the input you get every day. Only with the right “data” can you move your mind and body forward.<\/p>\n

\"googlexlogo\"<\/strong>The story of Google X<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The X in the company name stands for the X in 10x (ten times). It refers to finding solutions to hard-to-solve problems<\/strong>, with 10-fold effects.<\/p>\n

Often projects that want to eliminate such big problems fail because of the business model or the necessary environment to even implement such ideas. Google X offers this space to inventors and companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The two Google founders<\/strong> launched the company in 2010. The term Moonshot is also frequently associated with Google X. This means projects that come close in their ambitions to the first moon landing. Science fiction<\/strong> – something that cannot be imagined today. Google X has set three criteria for their projects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A big problem in the world that affects millions or billions<\/strong> of people.<\/li>\n
  2. A radical, science fiction sounding solution that seems impossible today.<\/li>\n
  3. A technological breakthrough<\/strong> that gives us a glimmer of hope that the solution could be possible in the next 5-10 years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are 3 projects that have been successfully implemented by Google X:<\/p>\n

    Project Loon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Internet access means technological progress and prosperity. There are still entire countries that do not have a functioning internet. Google X’s answer to this problem? Gas-filled balloons in the stratosphere. These supply the most remote places with Internet.<\/p>\n

    Project Wing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The supply of goods or the last mile are a major problem in developing countries. There are no roads or narrow mountain passes to cross. With the help of drones, goods will be transported in the future, if Google X has its way. The drones deliver the goods even to the furthest corners of the world. Test flights are currently taking place in Australia.<\/p>\n

    Waymo project<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Self-driving cars are within reach in 2021. Autonomous driving was one of Google X’s first projects. This has now become Waymo. In parts of the US, self-driving cars such as taxis can be ordered using the app. Science fiction has become reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
