REGRET

Facebook was an incredible place to learn how to grow a product. But I have tremendous guilt about what we built. I think we knew something bad could happen.

I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.

I sold my users privacy to a larger benefit. I made a choice and a compromise. I live with that every day.

We had 13 employees when Facebook bought us for a billion dollars. Everyone said we sold too cheap. They were right.

When you're old like me, the thing you regret is not the money you lost. It's the deals you didn't do.

I am heartbroken about the pain my invention has caused.

We failed our creditors and our investors. I take responsibility for that.

I don't regret the risks I've taken. I regret the ones I didn't take.

Founders should never give up control of their companies. That's my biggest regret.

Selling FedMart was a mistake. Not because the price was wrong but because I hadn't finished what I started.

I am really sad about Facebook. Now I am disappointed. I am embarrassed. I am ashamed.

I was really naive in the world of trusting other people.

I had so many people around me that I trusted, and I should have just been way more bold in saying, screw it, I'm going to do it my way.
