The most of the people in the world remain mute witness to happenings; some express awe and dismay at the happenings; but a few make things happen. Those who make things happen, think beyond impossibilities; they look beyond present to peep into future; they don’t tell the world what they can do, they just do it. Of course the young and dynamic Mark Zuckerberg who needs no introduction, is the one who has set rather unbeatable records with his stunning ‘feats’ in the world of computer communication, and has shrunk the world into tiny a mobile. Mark Zuckerberg is a success personified; his life is an epitome of inspiration to young minds.
