Top 10 quotes in Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook IPO letter

For many users, Facebook is a just a forum where they socialize with people, catch up with friends, share and of course have lots of fun. After the Facebook issued its first IPO a week ago, few said Facebook now has a money making model. But Mark Zuckerberg says “We don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services”. This was one of the quote that was picked out from the Facebook IPO letter.

Here are the ten quotes from Mark Zuckerberg’s IPO letter.

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 close together.

 People sharing more – even if just with their close friends or families – creates a more open cluture and leads to a better understanding of the lives and perspectives of others.

We think a more open and connected world will help create a stronger economy with more authentic businesses that build better products and services.

We expect governments will become more responsive to issues and concerns raised directly by all their people rather than through intermediaries controlled by a select few.

We don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.

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.

If we want to have the biggest impact, the best way to do this is to make sure we always focus on solving the most important problems.

We have a saying: “Move fast and break things.” The idea is that if you never break anything, you are probably not moving fast enough.

In a world that’s changing so quickly, you are guaranteed to fail if you don’t take any risks.

We believe that a more open world is a better world because people with more information can make better decisions and have a greater impact.
