Kevin Systrom Quotes

"Every startup should address a real and demonstrated need in the world. If you build a solution to a problem lots of people have, it's so easy to sell your product to the world""You need to fail in order to find the right solution""Focusing on one thing and doing it really, really well can get you very far""If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going""You make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things""In the past, people have looked at photos as a record of memory. The focus has been on the past tense. With Instagram, the focus is on the present tense""What people tell you and how they act is very, very different sometime""The best products in the world have a point of view. The worst products have none""The best feature is less features""Above all else, products spread when they're useful and they're usable""Great products sell themselves""Entrepreneurs want to take credit for each and every little decision and say it made complete sense at the time. I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working hard and trying lots and lots of things"
