There's real beauty in pushing yourself to expose the real you in more ways.

The world runs on luck.

With Instagram, the focus is on the present tense.

I think not focusing on money makes you sane, because in the long run it can probably drive you crazy.

When people say that college isn't worthwhile and paying all this money isn't worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.

Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don't think it's just photos. There's a reason we don't allow you to upload photos on the Web as albums. It's not about taking all these photos off your DSLR putting them into an album and sharing them with your family. It's not about that. It's about what are you up to right now out in the real world, how can you share that with everyone.

Every photo you take communicates something about a moment in time - a brief slice of time of where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing.
