12 Most Profound Quotes from
Facebook‟s CEO Mark Zuckerberg

“I know it sounds corny, but I‟d love to improve
people‟s lives, Especially socially… Making
the world more open is not an overnight
thing. It‟s a ten-to-fifteen-year thing.
~Mark Zuckerberg


“I think as a company, if you can
get those 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.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“I believe that over time people get remembered for
what they build, and if you build something great, people
don‟t care about what someone says about you in a movie . . .
they care about what you build.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“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.”
~Mark Zuckerberg

“At Facebook, we‟re inspired by technologies
that have revolutionized how people spread
and consume information. We often talk about
inventions like the printing press and the television—
by simply making communication more efficient,
they led to a complete transformation of many
important parts of society. They gave more people a
voice. They encouraged progress. They changed the
way society was organized. They brought us closer
together.
~Mark Zuckerberg


“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.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“I‟m here to build something for the long-
term. Anything else is a distraction.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“So many businesses get worried about
looking like they might make a mistake,
they become afraid to take any
risk. Companies are set up so that people
judge each other on failure. I am not going
to get fired if we have a bad year. Or a bad
five years. I don‟t have to worry about
making things look good if they‟re not. I can
actually set up the company to create
value.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves
continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that
something can always be better, and that nothing is ever
complete. They just have to go fix it—often in the face of
people who say it‟s impossible or are content with the status
quo… There‟s a hacker mantra that you‟ll hear a lot around
Facebook offices: „Code wins arguments.‟”
~Mark Zuckerberg


“[Facebook] is shaping a broader web. If you look
back for the past five or seven years, the story
about social networking has really been about
getting people connected… But if you
look forward for the next five years, I think that the
story people are going to remember five years from
now isn‟t how this one site was built; it is how every
single service that you use is now going to be better
with your friends.”
~Mark Zuckerberg


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