Banks and lenders just need to be more responsible about whom they give credit cards to.
My number one piece of advice is: you should learn how to program.
Building a mission and building a business go hand in hand.
The ability to share whole scenes form our lives will be a valuable thing over time.
A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.
When I'm introspective about the last few years I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native... because it just wasn't there. And it's not that HTML5 is bad. I'm actually, on long-term, really excited about it. One of the things that's interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us.
Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.
I actually remember very specifically the night that I launched Facebook at Harvard. I used to go out to get pizza with a friend who I did all my computer science homework with. And I remember talking to him and saying I am so happy we have this at Harvard because now our community can be connected but one day someone is going to build this for the world.
We used to write this down by saying, 'move fast and break things.' And the idea was, unless you are breaking some stuff you are not moving fast enough. I think there's probably something in that for other entrepreneurs to learn which is that making mistakes is okay. At the end of the day, the goal of building something is to build something, not to not make mistakes.
I’m here to build something for the long-term. Anything else is a distraction.
I don't want to be in a situation where I have to leave some other commitment or worse I am rude and someone else has to support my stuff. I stopped coding for Facebook a while ago.
Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission - to make the world more open and connected.
I think that people just have this core desire to express who they are. And I think that's always existed.
If things aren’t breaking, then you’re not moving fast enough. People learn by making mistakes.
