The Story of Mark Zuckerberg ~

What's one of the most popular things in America? Facebook. It's hard to imagine that somebody started such an amazing website, not knowing the half of what it would turn into. But it is very much possible, and Mark Zuckerberg showed us that. Febuary 4th , Zuckerberg made a reappearance with a website called Thefacebook. About a week later, three Harvard studentd accused Mark of stealing their idea. At first, membership to this website was forbidden to Harvard students, so Zuckerberg recruited some fellow students to help expand the website to fellow universities and colleges. Later on, Sean Parker became president, changing the name to Facebook , after buying the domain name for $200,000.

Even after this, making all this money, and pursuing things beyond his wildest dreams, he gave back to the community. According to NY Times, Mark donated a heaping 100 million dollars to the struggling Newark NJ public school system.

Most people work boring jobs that don't mean anything to them. This man does something he enjoys, and as a reward can sit back and actually enjoy life. Not everyone can do this because it takes courage and consistency, but as Dhirubhai Ambani says, "If you don't build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs."
