Google supremo Eric Schmidt has told students at the University of Pennsylvania that the secret to success is to get away from the computer and enjoy life. Schmidt told about 6,000 graduates that they need to find out what is most important to them by living analogue for a while.

He said that it was important to turn off their phone and discover all that is human around us," Schmidt said. "Nothing beats holding the hand of your grandchild as he walks his first steps."

Schmidt, who holds a doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, also received an honorary doctor of science degree at the ceremony. He also urged graduates not to lay out a rigid path for themselves. Rewards will gravitate to those who make mistakes and learn from them, Schmidt said.

Schmidt has a point.  He also has a very nice wife who is worth switching off the computer for and has been linked to many other nice women who would also take him away from his monitor.  Life is for living apparently.
