Topic about “Facebook”

Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. As of May 2012^[update], Facebook has over 900 million active users, more than half of them using Facebook on a mobile device. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, according to a May 2011 Consumer Reports survey, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts and 5 million under 10, violating the site's terms of service.

A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly active users. Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?" Critics, such as Facebook Detox, state that Facebook has turned into a national obsession that results in vast amounts of time lost and innately encourages narcissism. Quantcast estimates Facebook has 138.9 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in May 2011. According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S. population had a Facebook account. Nevertheless, Facebook's market growth started to stall in some regions, with the site losing 7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011. Facebook purchased fb.com on January 11, 2011 for 8.5 million dollars making the acquisition of FB.com one of the ten highest domain sales in history. Again in 2012 it bought the photo sharing website Instagram for 1 billion dollars.

Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur. He is best known as one of four co-founders of thesocial networking site Facebook, of which he is chairman and chief executive.

Born and raised in New York state, he took up writing software programs as a hobby in middle school, beginning with BASIC, with help from his father and a tutor (who called him a "prodigy"). In high school, he excelled in classic literature.

He later enrolled in Harvard, majoring in computer science and sociology. In his sophomore year he wrote a program called Facemash as a "fun" project, letting students on the college's network vote on other students' photo attractiveness. It was shut down within days, but would become a template for his writing Facebook, a program he launched from his dormitory room. With the help of friends, he took Facebook to other campuses nationwide and soon after moved to Palo Alto, California. By 2010, the site had an estimated 500 million users worldwide. Zuckerberg has since been involved in various legal disputes initiated by others who have claimed a share of the company's profits due to their help in setting it up.

Since 2010 Zuckerberg has been named among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people in the world by Time magazine's Person of the Year, In 2010 a fictionalized account of Zuckerberg creating Facebook while in college and its later start-up phase was made into a movie dramatization, The Social Network. 

Early life

Zuckerberg was born in 1984 in White Plains, New York. He is the son of Karen (née Kempner), a psychiatrist, and Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist. He and his three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Zuckerberg was raised Jewish, had his bar mitzvah when he turned 13, and has since described himself as an atheist.

At Ardsley High School, Zuckerberg had excelled in the classics before transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy in his junior year, where he won prizes in science (math, astronomy and physics) and classical studies (on his college application, Zuckerberg listed as non-English languages he could read and write: French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek) and was a fencing star and captain of the fencing team. In college, he was known for reciting lines from epic poems such as The Iliad. 

6 secrets for success

Success …success is how to reach your goal and be what dreamed to be, there is many ways for success for example to success in your knowledge journey or to success in exams, but there is a very special kind of success which I’m giving to you it’s secrets that is “SUCCESS IN MAKING PROFIT”.

To success in making profit is really an important thing, let’s see, I’ll ask you a question to let you know what do you really want, do you want to make money and reach your goals faster? I think you answered yourself by saying OFCURSE I WANT

Everyone in this world wants to make money and reach his goal and no one hates to be rich.

That it is not wrong to actually want to become rich. I think it is because so many people have been brought-up with the idea that the business of becoming wealthy is somehow wrong. Since you are reading this book, my hope is that you have already developed the understanding that it is this idea itself that is incorrect.

Napoleon Hill says that in order to receive the secret, you have to be ready to receive it; and that’s why he doesn’t give it out overtly. Rather, he allows the reader to discover it when he, or she, is ready to receive it – it is more powerful that way, he says.

First free your mind from thinking that the idea is wrong and set your goal and then you’ll be ready to receive the secret.

Napoleon Hill had said the secret could be found in every chapter of the book; and just like so many others I scoured the book only to find no one common thing in each chapter. 

The secret is certainly mentioned within each chapter of the book; though there are two chapters in particular in which the secret is quite plainly stated. One reason so many people fail to recognize it right there is because they are looking for something more profound. That’s probably why you need to read the book more than once.

The whole matter turns on whether or not you can believe what he says. Belief is the most important thing in this early stage because if you can’t believe what is being put forward, then you won’t try it; you won’t discover its power; and you will miss the secret for good. But if you are prepared to give it a try – and that means by following the instructions to-the-letter – then you open up the possibility of making a really life-changing discovery.

I believed what Hill said and I’m now trying to reach my goal, but I found that the way to reach my goal is not just for listening and reading advises, it by believing myself, believing that I got talent, believing that I can use my talent to make my road to reach my goal.

There 6 secrets that Napoleon Hill said in his book but there is one more secret which must be known before the 6 rest secrets which is “BELIEVING YOUR SELF” all you going to do is believing yourself, believe that you got a talent, believe that your mind can embodies your talent in the form of a road to reach for success, and this is not going to happen if you didn’t set your career and what you want to be and if you are not ready to be what you set to be, so before getting the secrets just free your mind and set your career and get ready to reach your goal which means  “BELIEVE IN YOU”

THE SIX SECRETS

We will first take a look at how Napoleon Hill presents these steps and then we will go through each one in turn. So here are those six steps.

Here is Napoleon Hill’s Awesome Secret …

First: Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).

Second: Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.)

Third: Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth: Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth: Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth: Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ— SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
