I spend 90% of my time with people who don't report to me, which also allows for serendipity, since I'm walking around the office all the time. You don't have to schedule serendipity. It just happens.

More quotes by Jack Dorsey
I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen.
Jack Dorsey
I said a long time ago that Foursquare can make cities better. You have these augmented realities like Foursquare and Twitter and Facebook that provide these virtual nodes and instant feedback from anywhere, adding annotation around a physical places.
Jack Dorsey
I'm less interested in how people are following each other and more interested in how they are following topics and tweets themselves. People are following more key words and concepts and more ideas and acting on those rather than individuals or organizations.
Jack Dorsey
I was fascinated with jeans, because you can impress your life upon the jeans you wear. The way you sit imprints on the jeans.
Jack Dorsey
Life happens at intersections.
Jack Dorsey
The first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?' But that really misses the point because Twitter is fundamentally recipient-controlled - you choose to listen and you choose to leave. But you also choose what to put down and what to share.
Jack Dorsey
We get to design what we want to see in the world rather than doing what other people think should be done.
Jack Dorsey
Pick a movement, pick a revolution and join it.
Jack Dorsey
You don't have to start from scratch to do something interesting. You don't have to start from scratch to have a massive impact on the world. You have to have a good idea. You have to convince other people of those good ideas. And you have to push as quickly as possible.
Jack Dorsey
An idea that can change the course of the company can come from anywhere.
Jack Dorsey
Success is never accidental.
Jack Dorsey
I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback. With programming I could model the same policies and see the impact immediately. Technology is a far more efficient way to test.
Jack Dorsey
What I love about New York is just the electricity I feel right away.
Jack Dorsey
I think that great programming is not all that dissimilar to great art. Once you start thinking in concepts of programming it makes you a better person...as does learning a foreign language, as does learning math, as does learning how to read.
Jack Dorsey
It's really complex to make something simple.
Jack Dorsey
Everyone has an idea, but it's really about executing the idea and attracting other people to help you with the idea.
Jack Dorsey
Revolution looks at the intersection ahead and pushes people to do the right thing.
Jack Dorsey
IM is interesting because you look at your buddy list and, at a glance, see what your friends are listening to, what they're working on, what they're doing. The problem was that you were bound to the computer keyboard.
Jack Dorsey
It's a matter of invitations versus context. Twitter is really good at providing context, like, I''m having coffee at Third Rail Coffee.' Foursquare is about invitations to places. In this respect Foursquare has started to replace Yelp for me.
Jack Dorsey
The strongest thing you can cultivate as an entrepreneur is to not rely on luck but cultivating an ability to recognize fortunate situations when they are occurring.
