Everyone wants to be the next Mark Zukerberg ....The important question is WHY?
most of the people's answers will be MONEY. In sense, people want to become like him just to get the money. Of course, If you are struggling to pay your bills, this would be tantalizing for people. but, does the money still motivates you?
My father always tells me -anything in over-limit is bad for yourself. Saying this lets suppose, you got passed $200k, $500k , and $1m a year.... what would you do? The answer is enjoy, entertainment and easy lifestyle. That's people's reason to get Money. Most of people would come to thinking in mind that - i want to be billionaire. This line will come to your mind more than the important question of - what i need to do to become a billionaire?. The thing is people stops asking important question. People have tendency to follow towards money, and that has made our lifestyle materialized and money focused.
Back to the point, so why Mark Zukerberg and not Ingvar Kamprad? He founded Ikea. Why not Kjeld Kristiansen? he and his family started LEGO. Also, Carlos Helu, He's worth more than Mark Zukerberg($72.9 Billion). seems like nobody has even heard them or interested in them even they own lot more money than Mark Zukerberg.
The answer is recognition, attention, and fame.
People wants to be like someone who is famous. They want to be known. Its in human nature to seek attention and connection. I personally gets more pumped up when someone praises me, and appreciate the work i do. That's what people actually want to get using money. but, money doesn't give us those things.
TODAY'S LIFE REALITY
In today's lifestyle, People believe in superficiality. People wants internet fame. I have personally seen teens and mature people going on to facebook, twitter and Instagram to get likes. People are hungry for likes. They want instant gratification.
When you surf through Facebook, You see all the celebrities and actors partying and posting. It changes people's mindset. They think of money as the ultimate goal, and we are tend to believe like that. People just think at their level - I want to be like him/her. but, generally they don't try to do what they did or ask the question how can i be?
BE DIFFERENT
I would like to quote someone here ~
Be a man of value, rather than money.There's more in the world, Money is important. I strongly believe that Money is crucial in this 21's century. Without it, you will be sucked and thrown out from this society. Everyone will like you if you have money.
~Albert Einstein
So, as a smart person, you should find a way to get money, but money shouldn't be the end goal. The values, virtues and inner feeling to do something for this world, that's whats most according to me.
According to me - MONEY is just a tool, but its not an end goal. Having money is important, but it doesn't guarantee that you get fame or attention or peace in life. Actually if you think about it, you get money when you sacrifice, discipline yourself, focus on work with commitment and love what you do -that's when you get money.
When we see any successful people, we see their money, status , fame but, generally we forget to consider that there is great discipline, work commitment and sacrifices to get to that level. And to end this - Money doesn't give those values in life.
Seek knowledge, and learning and growing in life more than money. Money will follow you along.
