Who you are and why you aren’t "Mark Zuckerberg"? PDF Print E-mail

Steve Jobs said; "Life is short, don't live it doing someone else's work."

The thought is that when you are young, do the work of your dreams and creatiivity.

Don't spend your time working to build someone elses dream.

He advocated that you build your dream by following your passion and intuition.

His name was Jobs - He advocated avoiding the JOB and promoted doing what you love and living life to the fullest.

He advocated working hard to leave something better behind when you are gone because time does go on and we all are appointed to die someday.

That is in part the reason for this website. It is about living and giving so that a part of you is left behind.

The names become code words for the truly gifted exceptions, the wunderkind freaks of nature for whom traditional rules don't apply.

Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Sergey Brin and so many others.

Well, sure, they all can drop out of college, but you're not Mark Zuckerberg Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Here's the thing: Even they are not who we or they think they are.

The notion that there's a one in a billion alignment of DNA and experience that magically creates an exception is just total nonsense.

They and many others are successful because of a million small choices, not because they, and they alone, have some magical properties.

Gates worked tens of thousands of hours on coding, just coding as he developed his business mind and personality.

Zuckerberg single-mindedly worked on his dream of a website that connected people (a very simple thought with big results).

Dell started in his dorm with a single minded motivation to build the best computers.

Brin and Page set out and stayed on track to supply free and exceptional search results for the masses.

And Jobs, he just stayed focused on creating innovative, cutting edge new products that were the stuff of dreams and fiction and brought them to reality.

We all make the same small choices every day and it is the accumulation of these small choices that make us who we are to become.

Ask yourself if you are making the small incremental and positive choices toward your dream and specific goals as you travel through each day?

Or, are you just existing, just getting through each day and playing the lottery as your solution to being or becoming exceptional?

Success doesn't happen over-night and it doesn't happen in a week or a month.

Mostly, the best way to be the next Mark Zuckerberg is to "every-day and every minute" make difficult choices in small ways that add up to becoming the person you truly want to be.
