Monday July 11 - Day Three
Written by Saia Tukuafu
Posted Sun, 21 Jan: Exhaustion and Energy competing against each other. Here i am not knowing which to adapt to. Anyways, here I am sitting in the morning briefing excited for the day ahead, but exhausted because I haven't fully adapted to the time change. Today we planned to visit 3 companies, Khan Academy, Google & Inflection.com.
Khan Academy? Khan Academy is an online school and is in fact the world's leading online school. Khan Academy is an online school which helps develops an individual's understanding, in much simpler steps. Khan Academy was originally based on being an online tutor for certain student's in the Maths Department. The founder is Sal Khan. What I liked about the visit today at Khan Academy was actually their communication and interactive skills. All member's knew what each person was doing and they were all on the same page as everyone else. It was as if they were in Perfect Sync.
Google! Who doesn't love Google. Google, is the world's leading company in terms of technology and everything. It is also the world's favored search engine. Our visit to Google today was mind blowing. It was just a huge honor to be able to walk the same paths the founder's created and modified. I loved our visit there to Google and wished we had more access to other areas inside Google. But unfortunately we didn't. I respect their decisions but I was hoping we'd get to see more. Other than that I really thought well of the tour guide's information he had given us, because I found that every word he gave us was unique and genuine.
Last but not least Inflection.com!! Inflection is a platform which allows you to find public documentations such as court documentations, birth records, immigration records, census collections, business filings and more. I loved out tour around Inflection because even though it only covered such a small amount of space, all staff members were happy and that is truly what I believe having a good business looks like.
To touch base, what I really loved out of today is probably what I heard from Inflection. The quote says something like, "Learn to Fail." What I think this means, is being able to accept failure and move on? Being able to just cope with what happens, and keep innovating and opening different doors towards success !!!
