Mark Zuckerberg

This documentary gives us a global idea of what seems to be the real origin of Facebook and its founder personality.
One of the main purposes of this I think is to take into account that the sole fact of knowing how to do something (the technical skills) are not enough if you really want to leave a trace in this world.
In the case of Mark, besides knowing how to do such massive site, he knew how to make it have a very strong impact. Maybe he stole the idea, maybe not. But he knew how to drive the business to make it billions worth.

Something that I loved about the movie and they mention it in the video, is the passion Mark has. I think that one of the things that made Mark be the man he is, is his passion he has for programming. As said in the video, he spent days and night building the site; but not in a normal way, he turned it into almost an obsession. And you realise that things are well done when someone puts an effort of that magnitude in something. That's when you know when something has a great quality, when it is done with love.

I know it is almost a pattern, that almost all the successful people that make a difference in computing, started from children, learning by themselves. I don't think that it may be a gift, I think it is more that they found what they loved at a very small age. And that pattern repeats in all fields of science and arts.
