What is success?The answer varies from person to person. Success may be fame, money, power or something else that could let others admire you or make you feel enjoyable. We all dream about being successful. However, to be successful is not such an easy thing like playing games. There is always a long way before you can get to the top. Mark Zuckerbergs experience is a good example of it.

Mark Zuckerberg is an American computer programmer, who is best known as the chairman and co-founder of social networking Facebook. In many peoples views, he is a successful man, but there are many things that people dont know about him. Zuckerberg was interested in computer programming when he was a child and wanted to be a good computer programmer, which was the dream in his heart. When he was studying in Harvard, he once made a website which was unfortunately shut down by the school later. He dropped out of school because of the website but began his glorious life. At the beginning, he had no idea how to manage the website and the company well. But to his surprise, people who used Facebook liked it very much, which was a great encouragement for him. Later, he began to create other interesting and useful columns on Facebook, such as foods, sports, beautiful spots and so on. With Zuckerbergs hard working, his new-born company developed in a rapid way. Then, Zuckerberg had to make a big choice when the chief executive of Yahoo wanted to buy Facebook at a high price. However, Zuckerberg refused the request, saying that it wasnt something matter of money, that Facebook was his child and that he wanted to see it grow up. Now, almost everyone knows Mark Zuckerberg and without doubt, he has become one of the most successful men in the world.

When people think about Mark Zuckerberg, they often compare him with Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, because both of them dropped out halfway and were considered “bad students”, but they built up from nothing and made a big difference to the world. Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates werent born with the ability to make a popular website and to be so successful, but what are the secrets of his success?

First of all, the key to success is to have a great aim and a beautiful dream. Zuckerberg had a dream and was driven by it. He kept on trying and working hard to realize his dream no matter how difficult the situation was. Sometimes a successful person is just a dreamer who never gives up.

Great works are finished not by strength but by perseverance. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear, When Zuckerberg began his practice, and he met many difficulties. But just like what he insisted on, it was a time for young people to explore their minds and develop new hobbies and interests. He never gave up trying new ideas and wasnt afraid of failure. Besides, its of great importance to be courageous. Zuckerbergs company wouldnt survive in such a difficult social situation without his courage and bravery.endprint

Time drops in delay, like a candle burnt out. Time is important for everyone. the person who doesnt value the time will fail in the end. Zuckerberg made full use of his time and did things as much as possible, in this way, he could do more and better. its true that if you put even a little on a little and do this often, soon this would become big.

As an old saying goes, “a constant dropping wears the stone”. Theres no doubt that Zuckerberg is hard-working and this spirit had a big influence on him. In my opinion, working hard is not only important for Zuckerberg, but also important for everyone who wants to be successful. No pains, no gains.

Last but not least, time drops in delay, like a candle burns out. Time is of great importance for everyone. Whoever doesnt value time will fail in the end. Zuckerberg made full use of his time and did as much as possible. As a result, he could do more and better.

Everybody desires to succeed. The road to success is full of hardships and sufferings. However, on the road leading to glory, what we really need is a dream to encourage us, a heart that will never give up, determination to work hard and courage to face difficulty bravely. The dream to achieve success wont come true overnight, but if you just keep on trying, everything is possible, just like Mark Zuckerberg, meeting success like a gentleman and taking up challenge like a man.endprint
