Today is the 31st Mark Zuckerberg’s birthday. The co-founder of Facebook is the most prominent face and name in the sphere of social media entrepreneurs. He did not achieve any of this in one night or by the snap of his hands.
In case you’ve thought of doing something ‘Facebook-big’, you can take cues from Mark. Here are 31 things that might help you:
1. Create an artificial intelligence program that discovers its users’ music listening habits right from high school and ensure your works get noticed by AOL and Microsoft.
2. Mark dropped out of Harvard. If your school ain’t Harvard. You probably have to keep pushing. Loool.
3. Make a list of hurdles to jump, to make toughen you up when it looks like you’re slacking. For instance, wear a tie to work every day for a year to encourage everyone to tighten their belts (figuratively).
4. Do not bother about wearing the same colour of T-shirt to work almost every day. You would still make billions anyway.
5. When you’ve finally made it, hammer on receiving $1 salary as CEO of your company.
6. Launch an Internet project to provide Internet access to over 3 billion people for people who are not on your social media network, and to provide new jobs.
7. Stay away from television.
8. Get a steady Asian girlfriend and marry her after you’re sure you would conquer your industry.
9. Do not let money become your motivation. Build better services that will eventually make you crazy rich.
10. Buy (or attempt to buy) out every start-up that might have create a possibility for taking over your business. Do not take such risks.
As crazy as these things sound, they worked for Mark Zuckerberg. You just might be lucky too.
