Susan Wojcicki Quotes

I don't plan a career. That doesn't work for me. I just have to go with my gut.

When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then, I've always gone on my instincts.

I just said yes to opportunities that came my way.

I don't play chess with my life, ya' know.

When the world says, 'Jump,' you gotta jump. It's like me moving to America when I was 29. I just did it. And now it's a home. You can't plan those things.

It's not that you can do this calculated move to try to further your career. You just follow what's in your heart, and later you look back and go, 'I was either really dumb or really smart, I can't believe I did that.'

I just go out there and play my game and let the chips fall where they may.

I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.

What I learned at that moment on the subway 30 years ago, staring at my blank passport, was this: If you have an impulse to do something, and it's not totally irresponsible, why not do it? It might just be the journey you've always needed.

I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it.

But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

I don't seem to have ever had a plan, but I have always been quite good at walking through doors when they are opened. I am never any good at anticipating what will happen next, but I always go for it when it does.

It's good to go with your gut instincts in life. You just should. Even if it doesn't work out, something good will come out of it.

I'm very unpredictable, but at the end of the day, I'm working. Sometimes things change in my life. It's like, 'Hold up - that ain't feel good. That felt good.' And that's how I look at anything I do.

Yet in all those cases I finally steeled myself to seize the opportunity, and find a way to muddle through and eventually conclude that I had, in fact, chosen the right path, as risky as it seemed at the time.

Sometimes you have to trust your guts and your instinct and improvise a little.

When you're out there and playing, things are going fast. You've just got to trust your instincts and what got you there.

I never had a plan; I always follow my intuition.

I tend to go with the flow and that flow can end up in great places or not so great places.

I never really sat down and decided, 'And now this is what I'm going to do.' I just do it.

If your feet are firmly planted on the grount you'll never be able to dance.

You have to know what you want. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back, because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. And if you hold back and try to be always where you have been before, you will go dry.
