Mark Zuckerberg Thoughts

I think as a company, if you can get two things right--having a clear direction on what you are trying to do and bringing in great people who can execute on the stuff--then you can do pretty well.

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. We do this by giving people the power to share whatever they want and be connected to whoever they want, no matter where they are.

The question I ask myself like almost every day is: ‘Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?' Unless I feel like I’m working on the most important problem that I can help with, then I’m not going to feel good about how I’m spending my time. And that’s what this company is.

Every application will be designed from the ground up to use real identity and friends.

What Facebook stands for in the world is giving people a voice and spreading ideas and rationalism.

We look for people who are passionate about something. In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re passionate about. What we really look for when we’re interviewing people is what they’ve shown an initiative to do on their own.

Companies face a handful of different risks, whether it is competitors or different market environments. But I think that people focus way too much on competitors and not enough on their own execution

By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.

Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.

I'm trying to make the world a more open place by helping people connect and share.
