今天分享的是扎克伯格的故事。

Mark Zuckerberg: The Social Revolutionist
The next time you decide to check your Facebook page to see if you have any new messages, likes, or just to see what your friends are up to, you can thank Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg is the man who changed the way people keep in touch with each other. He literally changed the world.
Born in White Plains, New York on May 14, 1984, Zuckerberg developed an interest in computer programming at an early age. When he was just 12 years old, he had developed a working messaging system that his father Edward used in his dental office. Zuckerberg had many friends who were artists, and they would come by and draw pictures for Mark. He would then design a computer game based on the characters drawn. In high school, Zuckerberg developed a music software program that drew interest from several large companies. He enrolled into Harvard University in 2002, where he developed his first social networking site for students only. The site was very popular, but it was shut down by the school for being inappropriate.
During his sophomore year at Harvard, Zuckerberg began working on Facebook, a site that allowed its users to create a profile, share photos, and communicate with other members. He dropped out his sophomore year to dedicate his work to his site. He moved his operation to Palo Alto, California. By the end of 2004, Facebook had had more than 1,000,000 members.
Zuckerberg's rise to the top has not been without controversy. Some of his Harvard peers claimed he stole their ideas, and filed suit against Zuckerberg. The case was settled, but it continues to be an issue. Facebook generates more than $1.5 billion in net revenues today.

社會革命家-馬克扎克伯格
下一次當你決定查看你的臉譜網，看看你是否有新的留言，點贊，或者只是看看你的朋友在做什麼，你可以感謝馬克·扎克伯格。扎克伯格就是那個改變了人們聯繫彼此方式的人。他真的改變了世界。
1984年5月14日出生於懷特普萊恩斯，紐約，扎克伯格從小就對計算機編程感興趣。當他只有12歲的時候，他開發了一個他父親愛德華在他的牙科診所使用工作信息系統扎克伯格有很多朋友，他們都是藝術家，他們會來給馬克畫畫。然後，他會設計基於畫作的電腦遊戲。在高中時，扎克伯格開發了一個音樂軟件程序，吸引了幾家大公司的興趣。他於2002進入哈佛大學，在那裏他爲學生建立了第一個社交網站。這個網站很受歡迎，但因爲校方因爲覺得不合適而關閉了它。
在哈佛大學二年級時，扎克伯格開始研發在臉譜網，這個網站允許用戶創建個人資料、分享照片以及與其他成員交流。他大學二年級輟學，全力打造他網站。他後來再洛阿爾託，加利福尼亞經營。到2004年底，臉譜網已經擁有超過1000000名成員。
扎克伯格的崛起並不是沒有爭議的。他的一些哈佛同伴聲稱他偷了他們的主意，向扎克伯格提起訴訟。這個案子已經解決了，但它仍然是個問題。臉譜網如今淨收入已超過15億美元。
