Morales from Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is co-founder and CEO of the social-networking website Facebook, as well as one of the world's youngest billionaires.
Born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York,  Mark Zuckerberg was a computer programmer by the age of 12 and co-founded the social-networking website Facebook out of his college dorm room. He left Harvard after his sophomore year to concentrate on the site, the user base of which has grown to more than 250 million people, making Zuckerberg a billionaire. 
Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room on February 4, 2004. An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo directories were an important part of the student social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers.
Morale: Don't Wait till you get the best or perfect condition to do anything. START FROM          WHERE YOU ARE NOW
Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard thing" until Zuckerberg decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They began with Columbia, New York University, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Penn,Brown, and Yale.Samyr Laine, a triple jumper representing Haiti at the 2012 Summer Olympics, shared a room with Zuckerberg during Facebook's founding. "Mark was clearly on to great things," said Laine, who was Facebook's fourteenth user.
Morale: For you to Succeed in life or business, you need Strategic Relationships.
No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you’re playing a solo game, you’ll always lose out to a team.” —Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder
After Zuckerberg moved to Palo Alto, California with Moskovitz and some friends, they leased a small house that served as an office. Over the summer, Zuckerberg met Peter Thiel who invested in the company. They got their first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to return to Harvard but eventually decided to remain in California. They had already turned down offers by major corporations to buy the company. In an interview in 2007, Zuckerberg explained his reasoning: "It's not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me."
Morale: “Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up following you.” 
He restated these goals to Wired magazine in 2010: "The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open. Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg sought the advice of former Netscape CFO Peter Currie about financing strategies for Facebook.[44] On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that the company reached the 500 million-user mark.
Today, Mark Zuckerberg is the 5th richest man in the world with a net worth of over $54billion dollars

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self. "Man is a goal-seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals." - Aristotle "The path to success is to take massive, determined action." - Anthony Robbins "Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision." - Peter F.
