It is absoutly amazing that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named Time's Person of the Year. Facebook is connecting people from all over the world, and because of its great success, Zuckerberg is now worth 6.9 billion dollars. At 26 he can say he is in a league of his own.
Being around the same age as Zuckerberg and seeing his success at such a young age, it is one of the recent events that has encouraged me to go at my goals at full speed. We all have a little Zuckerberg in us. We all have the ability to take a small idea in our head and turn it into something great.
The issue is that we think that we have tons of time to accomplish our goals. We also are afraid to just go for what we want. It is like we are waiting for someone to come and place an amazing opportunity in front of us. You might be waiting a lifetime for luck to play out in your favor.
If there is one thing that I learned from watching the inspiring Mark story unfold, is that you have to take the torch...people are not just going to give it to you. You must go after what you want out of life, and when you get it, take it to the highest level that you can.
There should be a "Zuckerberg Effect" going on amongst our peer group. Everyone should be in their rooms trying to figure out what the world can use next. What does the world need and want? How are you going to change the world?
Find the Zuckerberg in you now!!!
