By Mark Zuckerberg: one of the wealthiest Men the World has ever had is also a Man of substance you may want to imitate to Succeed!
Well, suppose you’ve ever wanted to know who you can imitate, read about and try to follow their steps to become not only successful but also super-rich, you’re in the right place.
Let’s sit and hear why Mark Zuckerberg should be every success and wealth enthusiast’s to-go role model in today’s post.
As you can imagine, Mark is the founder and mastermind behind the most successful social platform- Facebook. For a fact, Mark deserves all the rest from the world because he is the only breathing human being running everyone’s to-go communication site today. He is worthy of $97 billion as we speak, and this is because he sold much of his shares on Facebook and remained with only about 15%.
Facebook is not even that old because it came to light in 2004 and become a usable public platform in May 2005. Today, Mark is the richest youngest person worldwide. His net worth was recently hitting over $100 billion after he partnered with others to invent the famous TikTok platform that has taken the world by storm.
However, our readers from countries like India and some parts of the United States will agree that TikTok is not very famous, mostly after being banned entirely in India and still facing fights from leaders in some United States areas.
The Early Life of the Facebook Legend
Mark was born on the 14th of May 9184 in New York, White Plains. He comes from a highly-educated family. Marl grew up in Dobbs ferry village. His father, Edward, was a famous dental practitioner at their family home while the mother, Karen, worked as a dedicated psychiatry. Zuckerberg’s siblings are Randi, Arielle, and Donna.
Mark developed interests in computers when he was a toddler. He was just about twelve years when he first used the famous Atari program to build a messaging program he named Zucknet.
It was his father who used his son’s first creation for his dental services. According to news, Mark’s program helped his father support his work by ensuring clients could easily let him know of new patients and more. The program was also used by the father’s receptionist, who could only yell before such a program was introduced. The same programs also became a tool of communication among family members and friends. At that time, Mark’s relatives knew the boy was gifted and started financing his works.
Later, with his group of enthusiastic computer friends, Mark created a computer game that became famous around his village. When Mark started showing more interest in computers and creating computer programs, his parents looked for a private computer tutor.
The teacher was called David Newman, who used to come to Mark’s home weekly and worked closely with the father to help Mark. According to David, he said it was hard for Mark to stop his love for computers. Surprisingly, he started taking assignments from graduate classes at their neighbor college- Mercy College.
While he loved computers, his invention skills also made him create music software that went viral while he was in high school. He named the software-Pandora Synapse, like the famous movie series currently taking the world by storm.
After developing his software, giants’ brands like AOL and Microsoft wanted to buy his idea but Mark refused. After finishing school in Exeter in 2002, he went to Harvard University, where he dropped out and devoted to his by then-new brand-Facebook.
At the time before quitting school, Mark had also made a name in school after developing software, which became most people’s tool for research. The same year, Mark created a program he called CourseMatch. The program became super-helpful for students while selecting classes based on courses on the school’s course selection.
Later, he invented what was called FaceMash, a program that could compare pictures of students on campus and allow others to vote who was attractive. This created fun for people, and Mark’s reputation in programming skills skyrocketed. However, while the program became famous, the school thought it was not a good idea and shut it down.
In other news, Mark’s close friends named Divya Narenda and other famous twins named Cameron and Tyler, worked with him and develop a social networking platform called Hard Connection. Most people supported them, and later, they had developed a platform most Harvard students used for finding school information.
Alternatively, the venue was used for students interested in dating. Its, therefore, became one of the first dating sites worldwide. Later, while he was still working with his friends creating other programs and sharing ideas, Mark decided working alone could help him develop better stuff, which is when he dropped the group.
A few months after he dropped, Mark focused on his project and refined his Facebook idea, which went viral and became what we see today.
For a fact, most parents don’t allow their kids to follow their passion. As you can see, Mark is who he is today because his parents trusted his love for computers. Although this post is about Mark Zuckerberg, take it as a challenge to follow your passion or that’s of your kids.
