When you look at the accomplishments of accomplished people and you say, โBoy, that must have been really hard,โ ... that was probably easy. And conversely, when you look at something that looks easy, that was probably hard. And so youโre never going to know which is which until you actually go and do it.
Pierre OmidyarWhen I started eBay, it was a hobby, an experiment to see if people could use the Internet to be empowered through access to an efficient market. I actually wasn't thinking about it in terms of a social impact. It was really about helping people connect around a sphere of interest so they could do business.
Pierre OmidyarI want people to be entrepreneurs, but I want them to do it for the right reasons, because they think they can change the world, because they think they have got something of value to give to the world. Not because they think they can make a lot of money.
