It’s important to be thoughtful and mindful about the things you say to other people.

Have faith in yourself. Know that you will be capable of all the growth expected of you and that you expect of yourself.

The way you have to do is what you believe in and what you want to do. And we built a team around that idea. So when you built a team that is terrific who believes in building something really meaningful, you just keep going.

We do have a sense of entitlement, a sense of ownership, because after all, this is the world we were born into, and we are responsible for it.

It’s not about working harder, it;s about working the system.

Conforming happens so naturally that we can forget how powerful it is – we want to be accepted by our peers – we want to be a part of the group. It’s in our biology.

On perseverance: “In times of despair, you may believe the cynic who tells you that one person cannot make difference – and there are times it may be hard to see your own impact. I beg you to remember that it is not possible at this time or any time to know the end results of our efforts.

Everyone is born very, very, very creative, but at some point it can be scary to try to do something new, that feels different.

Spiegel being asked, “When did you know that you wanted to start a company? What drove you to have that purpose?” Spiegel replied, “A lot of it is not wanting to work for anyone else.
