We all know the rise of Mark Zukerburg and how he created Facebook from his dorm room.
But do we know what he sacrificed for his dreams?
In 2004, Mark launched Facebook, but in 2005 he faced the most important decisions of his life To dropout or to stay and study at Harvard? “It took me 5 minutes to decide that I was going to dropout” – Mark Zuckerberg
But this wasn’t the only challenge that he faced.
Soon tech giant Yahoo offered to buy Facebook for $1,000,000,000.00 That’s around P50 Billion converted to Philippine Peso. But Mark Zuckerberg believed in his idea and knew that one day Facebook will be worth more. So he refused to sell Facebook being unaware of the circumstances.
Majority of his team stopped believing in his idea because they thought selling out was a good deal. So within a year Facebook’s entire management team left the company. At that time MArk Zuckerberg could’ve easily quit. But he believed in his idea and hired a new team.
Today, Facebook is the most widely used social network in the world. And Mark Zuckerberg is the 5th Richest Person on the planet.
His story teaches us: “No matter what people say, never stop believing in your dreams”.
Happy Weekend Friend! & Happy New Month.
