Birth:
He was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York City, to a dentist father Edward Zuckerberg, and psychotherapist mother Karen Kempner.
Life in the Early Years:
His father was the first to teach Mark Zuckerberg how to program computers. He was so interested in software development at that age that he designed a program called ZuckNet, which was utilized by members of his family, including his father's dental clinic, as well as by his friends.
Facebook's past:
On February 4, 2004, while studying at Harvard University, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook with pals who were residing in his hostel room.
Divya Narendra first came to Zuckerberg with the idea of creating a social network website. Divya Narendra is an American businessman who suggested Zuckerberg start a social networking website called HavardConnection while he was attending Harvard University.
Thefacebook.com, which is now known as Facebook.com or fb.com, was the domain name that Zuckerberg chose for his own social networking website.
TheFacebook.Com At the time, Facebook was only available to students at his University. He designed it in such a way that university students can list their qualities like their class, their friends, and telephone number.
As soon as Mark Zuckerberg had the idea, he began introducing Facebook to other university students. He began with students at Columbia and New York University and continued with Dartmouth and Cornell Universities, as well as Brown University and Yale.
Mark Zuckerberg was very intelligent since childhood. He was also rewarded for his schooling in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and classical studies.
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his undergraduate hostel roommates when he was attending Harvard University (Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes).
However, he then made Facebook available to everybody throughout his entire country. Zuckerberg was 23 years old when he became a millionaire because of the social networking site. Facebook got highly popular on the Internet pretty quickly.
Zuckerberg turned down an offer from Yahoo! to buy Facebook for $1 billion in October 2006, soon after Facebook had reached 500 million users.
In 2006, Zuckerberg moved to Palo Alto, California, and there he leased a small house where he opened his own small office.
In May 2008, Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Connect to make it easier for people on Facebook to share their Facebook identity, friends, and privacy with each other and for other websites.
Mark Zuckerberg wants to learn as much as possible from other people, and he's doing his best to do that. Despite his accomplishment, he still works 12-14 hours a day, or sometimes all day.
Financing strategies were discussed with former Netscape CFO Peter Currie in 2009 by Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg definitely considered himself a hacker, according to American writer Steven Levy in 2010.
The reason behind this was because Zuckerberg used to say:
If you want to connect or fix anything properly, then you have to first disassemble that thing or you have to break it.
Inspiration:
1. I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.
2. Give everyone the power to share anything with anyone.
3. Nothing influences people more than a recommendation from a trusted friend.
4. In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people’s perspectives… I really try and live the mission of the company and… keep everything else in my life extremely simple.
6. All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school – my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.
8. The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

17. My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being “just” a company means to me is building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
19. If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.
