We have hereby composed 50 powerful and mind blowing quotes from Mark Zuckerberg, The CEO and Founder of Facebook. Most probably, these will change your way of reasoning and doing things.

1. “In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”

2. “People don’t care about what you say, they care about what you build.”

3. “You are better off trying something and having it not work and learning from that than not doing anything at all.”

perspectives.”

not going to really work hard.”

7. “We look for people who are passionate about something. In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re passionate about.”

8. “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 can help with, then I’m not going to feel good about how I’m spending my time.”

9. “Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.”

are set up so that people judge each other on failure.”

14. “I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite
and amaze people.”

15. “My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or
any of those things. But what not being ‘just’ a company means to me is building something that actually makes a really big
change in the world.”

43. “All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school – my number one piece of advice is: You
should learn how to program.”

funded it by putting an ad on the site, and we’ve funded ever since by putting ads on the site.”

instead of having 20% of people’s time working on projects I make people hang out with each other.”

48. “I started the site when I was 19. I didn’t know much about business back then.”

49. “I made so many mistakes in running the company so far, basically any mistake you can think of I probably made. I

a lot of mistakes”
