　　What is success？The answer varies from person to person. Success may be fame， money， power or something else that could let others admire you or make you feel enjoyable. We all dream about being successful. However， to be successful is not such an easy thing like playing games. There is always a long way before you can get to the top. Mark Zuckerberg’s experience is a good example of it.
　　Mark Zuckerberg is an American computer programmer， who is best known as the chairman and co-founder of social networking Facebook. In many people’s views， he is a successful man， but there are many things that people don’t know about him. Zuckerberg was interested in computer programming when he was a child and wanted to be a good computer programmer， which was the dream in his heart. When he was studying in Harvard， he once made a website which was unfortunately shut down by the school later. He dropped out of school because of the website but began his glorious life. At the beginning， he had no idea how to manage the website and the company well. But to his surprise， people who used Facebook liked it very much， which was a great encouragement for him. Later， he began to create other interesting and useful columns on Facebook， such as foods， sports， beautiful spots and so on. With Zuckerberg’s hard working， his new-born company developed in a rapid way. Then，， Zuckerberg had to make a big choice when the chief executive of Yahoo wanted to buy Facebook at a high price. However， Zuckerberg refused the request， saying that it wasn’t something matter of money， that Facebook was his child and that he wanted to see it grow up. Now， almost everyone knows Mark Zuckerberg and without doubt， he has become one of the most successful men in the world.
　　When people think about Mark Zuckerberg， they often compare him with Bill Gates， founder of Microsoft， because both of them dropped out halfway and were considered “bad students”， but they built up from nothing and made a big difference to the world. Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates weren’t born with the ability to make a popular website and to be so successful， but what are the secrets of his success？
　　First of all， the key to success is to have a great aim and a beautiful dream. Zuckerberg had a dream and was driven by it. He kept on trying and working hard to realize his dream no matter how difficult the situation was. Sometimes a successful person is just a dreamer who never gives up.
　　Great works are finished not by strength but by perseverance. Courage is resistance to fear， mastery of fear， not absence of fear， When Zuckerberg began his practice， and he met many difficulties. But just like what he insisted on， it was a time for young people to explore their minds and develop new hobbies and interests. He never gave up trying new ideas and wasn’t afraid of failure. Besides， it’s of great importance to be courageous. Zuckerberg’s company wouldn’t survive in such a difficult social situation without his courage and bravery.
