Sebastian Thrun Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Sebastian Thrun:

Education should learn from the positive side of gaming - reward, accomplishment, and fun.

We don't live in a world where any job lasts forever.

Sebastian Thrun

Every time I act on a fear, I feel disappointed in myself. I have a lot of fear. If I can quit all fear in my life and all guilt, then I tend to be much, much more living up to my standards. I've never seen a person fail if they didn't fear failure.

Top notch Indian employers such as Flipkart have hired Udacity Nanodegree graduates based solely on their performance in our programme, without any in-person interview.

Horizontal meetings are team or project meetings, set up to coordinate individual activities. When I worked in a large tech company, those meetings just popped up in my calendar by the dozen.

Larry Page, co-founder of Google, is an unbelievable big thinker, and there was a saying in Google that if you wanted to know the future, go to Larry.

Sebastian Thrun

You can learn for your own sake, and that's fine, but if you come to Udacity, you learn because you want someone else to understand what you learned.

Sebastian Thrun

I am a really impatient person who wants to see many issues fixed with solutions that don't yet exist.

Sebastian Thrun

We need to make education so much fun that students can't help but learn.

Sebastian Thrun

There are few moments in my life where I really remember what I was doing.

Sebastian Thrun

Online education that leaves almost everybody behind except for highly motivated students, to me, can't be a viable path to education.

Sebastian Thrun

I feel like everyone has this competitive instinct.

Sebastian Thrun

We could live in a much better society if there was less personal car ownership.

Sebastian Thrun

Honestly, the average American spends about 52 minutes a day in commute traffic. And as much as I love driving my car and many people like driving their car, commuting has never been fun for me.

Sebastian Thrun

Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place.

Even as a college professor at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, and I went out, took risks, and tried to invent new things, such as participating in the DARPA Grand Challenge and working on self-driving cars.

Sebastian Thrun

Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.

Sebastian Thrun

It's my dream to make learning as addictive as a video game.

Sebastian Thrun

I've developed my passion for cars that drive themselves from being stuck in traffic for many, many, many hours of my life. I don't know what it adds up to, but I feel like I've lost a year or two just in traffic. That's big to me. That's a lot of time, a lot of money that I just lose on the road.

Sebastian Thrun

You are going to fail, and failing, for me, is as joyful as succeeding. Failing means that there is something to learn, and we can improve and do it better next time.

Sebastian Thrun

Many of us are inspired and are eager to get things done. But once too many people are involved, life becomes complicated. We are all social beings, so we have an innate urge to incorporate everyone's thoughts.

Sebastian Thrun

With the right care at the right time, a huge number of people could stay independent much longer, with a higher quality of life.

Sebastian Thrun

If you look at the ability of a self-driving car to stay in the lane and not to speed and keep a good distance to the car in front of you, it actually does better than me.

Sebastian Thrun

I am particularly surprised that certain outlets look at pass rates irrespective of student population. As if inner city high school kids are to fare as well as college students.

Sebastian Thrun

Can we text twice as much while driving, without the guilt? Yes, we can, if only cars will drive themselves.

Sebastian Thrun

We don't look at problems logically, we look at them emotionally. We look at them through the guts. We look at them as if we're doing a high school problem, like what is beautiful, what makes me recognized among my peers. We don't go and think about things. We, as a society, don't wish to engage in rational thought.

Sebastian Thrun

It's a no-brainer for me that at some point our cars will have the ability to drive themselves.

Sebastian Thrun

I have been spending the better part of my professional life trying to create self-driving cars. At Google, I am working with a world-class team of engineers to turn science fiction into reality.

Almost everything interesting hasn't been invented yet.

Sebastian Thrun

I believe e-courses will eventually change people's attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people's lives. For people of all ages and all geographies.

Sebastian Thrun

There will be no more one-size-fits-all. Education will respond to you.

Sebastian Thrun

Many students learn best by doing. But because classrooms force the same pace on all students, they limit the degree to which students can truly learn through trial and error. Instead, lectures still force many students to follow material passively and in lockstep pace.

Sebastian Thrun

You can't change the world without a certain amount of healthy willingness to break the rules.

Sebastian Thrun

I literally worked at research labs where the staff really tried to steer management away from the modern technology that was actually better.

Sebastian Thrun

In much of computer science, I can easily 'auto-grade' your work and give you an instant meaningful feedback. I can't do this when it comes to the subtlety of human thought, language, poetry, philosophy.

Sebastian Thrun

You don't lose weight by watching someone else exercise. You don't learn by watching someone else solve problems. It became clear to me that the only way to do online learning effectively is to have students solve problems.
