Don't take too much advice. Most people who have a lot of advice to give ~ with a few exceptions ~ generalize whatever they did. Don't over-analyze everything. I myself have been guilty of over-thinking problems. Just build things and find out if they work.

I always just want to move along to the next step.

We're trying to do something so that when the average person uses Pinterest, it has to make the service better.

I always read about these stories of entrepreneurs - it’s like they’re in the desert with no water, and they’re the ones that survive. But I’ve been really fortunate to have people on my team who are optimistic about the future and who know that if you work through hard times that there’s usually something good at the end.

If Google teaches you anything, it's that small ideas can be big.

I want Pinterest to be human. The Internet's still so abstract... To me, boards are a very human way of looking at the world.

One of the things I've learned is to be receptive of feedback.
