AMBITION

I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.

I could either watch it happen or be part of it.

Don't be a little bitch with your goals.

We said no to twelve billion dollars because we believe Discord can be something much bigger.

Our goal is to make Zoom meetings better than in-person meetings. That's the bar.

We don't want to be the best project management tool. We want to be the last productivity tool you ever need.

We don't want to be a bank. We want to be the financial super-app — everything you need for money in one place.

Forty-five million customers trust us with their money. That number will be a billion within ten years.

We have 100 million customers. That's more than the population of most countries. And we're just getting started.

We want to be the number one shopping destination in the world. Not a payment method — a shopping app.

People say you can't compete with Google. People said you couldn't compete with Yahoo either.

In the world I see, you're going to have a WeWork on every corner. We are here in order to change the world. Nothing less than that interests me.

A snail is currently faster than a tunnel boring machine. We intend to defeat the snail in a race.

We can have a trillion humans living in the solar system. That means we'd have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins. That's the future I want for my grandchildren.

We want to be the everyday everything app for Southeast Asia. One app, from morning coffee to evening savings deposit.

Mark Zuckerberg offered us three billion dollars. I said no. My board thought I was insane. But you don't sell the future for three billion.

We sold our last company to Microsoft for $320 million. This time we said let's aim higher. Thirty-two billion higher, as it turned out.
