At a small company, so much of the trick is focus. Not only can you only do a finite number of things, but you have to do them in the right order.

If Google teaches you anything, it's that small ideas can be big.

What you collect says so much about who you are.

I thought Google was the coolest place. People there were so smart and they were all doing these really interesting things. I just felt really lucky to be a part of it even in a small way.

I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built.

Don't take too much advice.
