Facebook founder, CEO, and chairman Mark Zuckerberg has an advice for women that has become viral. His advice is about encouraging and motivating women to believe in themselves and follow their dreams instead of relying on finding and dating successful people.
Zuckerberg's original post on his Facebook account is about his exciting and innovative plan for the year 2016 to create an Artificial Intelligence that will help him manage his house and assist him with his work, a technology similar to the fictional character Tony Stark's Jarvis AI. Zuckerberg's New Year Facebook post prompted the grandmother to comment, "I keep telling my granddaughters to date the nerd in school, he may turn out to be a Mark Zuckerberg! Thanks for FB, I've reconnected with family and old friend and classmates."
The Facebook CEO directly responded to her comment by saying, ""Even better would be to encourage them to *be* the nerd in their school so they can be the next successful inventor!" Thousands of people commented afterwards by praising and acknowledging Zuckerberg's profound message for everyone.
Both men and women need to learn to work hard and take risks to follow their goals and dreams in life. Zuckerberg's willingness to work hard and take risks allowed him to become successful. "In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks," said Zuckerberg in an interview at the Y Combinator's Startup School.
The post became viral for its inspiring and empowering message for all women. Parents should help their daughters reach their maximum potential so that they can be as successful as and even more successful than men. Men and women are equal and are both capable of success and greatness. Women are capable of becoming even more successful than Mark Zuckerberg and creating something greater than Facebook.
