Forget the vacations and private getaways — for Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, happiness is all about
helping others alongside the people he loves. During a Q&A
on Facebook last month, Zuckerberg
answered a ton of questions and wrote a great deal
about how people play a huge role in his life and work:
“To me, happiness is doing something meaningful that helps
people and that I believe in with people I love.”
“I think lots of people confuse happiness with fun. I don't believe
it is possible to have fun every day. But I do believe it is possible to do
something meaningful that helps people every day.”
“As I've grown up, I've gained more appreciation for my close
relationships — my wife, my partners at work, my close friends. Nobody builds
something by themselves. Long term relationships are very important.”
Considering Zuckerberg was a psychology major before he
dropped out of Harvard, his marriage to college sweetheart Priscilla
Chan, and his history of forgoing fancy cars, clothes, and a salary, his
answer isn't all too surprising.
But it's a refreshing change of pace to hear such a
down-to-earth response from a man running one of the most successful tech
companies in the world and who has a personal net worth estimated at $35 billion, according to Wealth-X.
