Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. - David Frost
Life is nothing without friendship. - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Instead of indicating that you "like", will "accept" and "friend" the Hollywood film The Social Network, the author of this article urges you to turn off your Facebook and your computer, go to the cinema and watch this surprisingly excellent, well-crafted, funny, witty and immensely entertaining movie about the enigmatic founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg.
Here are some life lessons learned from this movie:
- People yearn for true friendships.
- Dream big and think long-term.
- Ideas change the world.
- Invest wisely.
- Be "cool".
- Be kind to all, never underestimate anyone.
- Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
- Have passion!
- No matter who we are or become, don't be an a-hole!
Zuckerberg is incredibly smart, driven, hardworking, wily and eventually successful, yet his weaknesses, as shown in this movie at least, his often being too self-centered and lacking a balanced life. His remarkable success and personal pathos should be a reminder to those among us who may have forgotten the correct priorities in life.
