I have just read an article on analyzing Mark Zuckerberg's success factors, which mentions the six factors of Zuckerberg's success:
- Ambition
- Insight
- Execution
- Determination
- Luck
- Timing
In my personal opinion, determination is the essential prerequisite for anyone's success, as mentioned in the article:
"There is nothing in the world to replace perseverance. Talent is not enough. Many unsuccessful people do not lack talent. Talent is not available, and there are plenty of talents that don't get a return. Education is not enough. There are too many abandoned people with good education in the world. Perseverance and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "moving forward" has been resolved and will continue to solve the problems facing humanity ." -- John
Calvin Coolidge
"I believe that half of the factors that distinguish successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful entrepreneurs are perseverance ." -- Steve Jobs
In Mark Zuckerberg's opinion, determination is the most important in all his experiences before success. At the age of 20, he chose to go to college or take an office with an annual salary of up to 100,000 yuan from a well-known company such as Microsoft, during school hours, my Facebook website was hung on the school's server because of a large access volume, which eventually caused the school to shut down the server. Then I decided to drop out of school and continue my Facebook career. Some may not understand that, since you chose to go to school between your previous job and school, why didn't you continue? Later, you dropped out of school to choose a new job and start a business, does it prove that the decision to choose school was wrong?
What Zuckerberg prefers is programming, which allows Zuckerberg to present his ideas and intentions through computer program code, at the same time, we look forward to the approval of many people (from their selection of computer and psychology degrees, as well as early design works, we can see some clues ). If he chooses to go to Microsoft when he is 20 years old, he has to do what Microsoft requires him to do, and he cannot program it as needed. If he chooses to stay at Harvard, facebook cannot continue to exist in the school, nor can it implement what your program needs to display as needed. Therefore, Facebook chose to drop out of school. All his choices are based on his preferences. They are a manifestation of determination and perseverance, most people may choose to compromise on the temptation of earning hundreds of thousands of yuan a year at the age of 20. Many people will choose to continue to realize their Facebook dream and graduate from Harvard, or, while finishing his studies, he considered Facebook's development at the same time, because Facebook was only a well-known website in the school. If so, MySpace may be the current Facebook, there is no well-known mark
Zuckerberg.

Gladwell points out a simple equation about success:
Success = Intelligence + social environment + opportunity + diligence
Here, Zuckerberg's determination is far from our perseverance or diligence. He can stick to his Facebook dream while working at Microsoft, you can stick to your Facebook dream while choosing to continue school, as long as he is diligent enough. But he chose to give up, because he did his own thing, because he insisted on his casual programming and better recognized by others. This is his determination, I believe that one thing can be obtained without looking back, not just by diligence. Diligence is only a prerequisite for your persistence to continue.
Therefore, in one aspect, many successful people stick to their determination from another perspective. psychology may be a bit paranoid!
