Mark Zuckerberg, one of the five co-founders of Facebook, knew exactly what he was doing when he propelled himself into the computer programming business. As a young entrepreneur, Zuckerberg learned that in order to be successful, you must have three key attributes; ambition, creativity, and risk-tolerance.
The first attribute that Zuckerberg acquired was ambition in order to jump-start his campaign to introduce Facebook to a wider audience than just Harvard University students. Most people believe that they are ambitious until the pressure of an external source backs them into a corner and the “way up” seems far away. Ambition comes from within as a form of willpower and forces you to make serious decisions in order to be successful
Another key attribute that Zuckerberg has is creativity. The development of Facebook was an imaginative idea: having friends and family connect over long distances through images, text status updates, and a personalized forum. When Facebook first hit the Internet, it was plain in design and easy to navigate. Though the website started at this humble beginning, Zuckerberg continued to use his skill of innovation to reshape and rethink Facebook’s design and layout. Rolling out every month or so, new features are developed and deployed on the website to increase its popularity, usability, and efficiency.
