Mark Zuckerberg is, by right, one of the most relevant figures in the technology sector. The creator of Facebook has changed the lives of millions of people thanks to his most well-known platform, but he has also had a direct influence on those around him. That’s why a former employee of his company revealed how a conversation at 2 in the morning changed her life. But, unfortunately, at times Zuckerberg has had the bad luck of crushing dreams.
As indicated by the German portal Mein-MMO in a recent publication, Zuckerberg visited the Acquired podcast and answered several questions. One of them was related to the advice he would give to people eager to start a business, and to answer, Zuckerberg recalled an anecdote he had with August, his 7-year-old daughter. According to his account, her wish was to be a successful singer like Taylor Swift. However, the creator of Facebook crushed her dream with a lapidary phrase: “you can’t be a copy of another person“.
Zuckerberg’s central advice is to be original
After this, he revealed that his daughter said she wanted to become a person that others copied and, therefore, she sought to inspire people to become someone like “August Chan Zuckerberg“. According to the technological genius, this response surprised him for its originality and authenticity, which is why he decided that his best advice for entrepreneurs is to be original instead of trying to imitate others. Therefore, he emphasizes the importance of fostering creativity, independent thinking, and ambition.
In essence, Zuckerberg’s intention is to convey that the most important thing when starting a business is to promote an original idea. Otherwise, the creator of Facebook and Meta ensures that they would give rise to different copies that, by imitating a formula already known, would not have as much success and relevance as the original idea. That’s why, as Zuckerberg himself recounted, a conversation with his seven-year-old daughter served him to learn what is the best advice he can give to entrepreneurs.
