Facebook is a multi-billion dollar social networking site that smiley (...), well, who doesn't know Facebook? Here are things you probably didn't know:
.
1. Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his room.

The young blonde billionaire founded it right in his room!
.
2. It didn't start as a social network. Right back in 2003, it was called FaceMash , used for comparing who's hotter in two students' pictures.
.
3. Mark got expelled from school because of Facebook. After its launched (then FaceMash), for having copyrighted items on site among other charges.
.
4. Mark allegedly deceived his school and students. According to allegation, it was said that, he deceived some students into creating a school's website, rather he made a personal investment.
.
5. 'Harvard connection' to 'The Facebook.' It was supposed to be a school's portal. Mark changed its name from FaceMash to 'TheFacebook,' a supposed 'The Facebook of Harvard.'
.
6. Mark bought a domain. Mark bought the domain name 'facebook.com' in 2005 for $200,000.
.
7. Yahoo's envy. Facebook growth arose envy. Yahoo sued Facebook for reasons know to be irrelevant.
.
8. Bigger companies wanted to buy Facebook. MySpace, MicroSoft, Google etc., all wanted to buy Facebook, Mark resent a big 'NO.'
.
9. Whatsapp was bought. On February 19, 2014 Facebook announced its ownership of WhatsApp Inc., a smartphone instant messaging application for $19 billion in a mix of stock and cash.
.
10. Mark wore cheap clothes. Unlike common million worth singer who would show-case their money on million worth clothes, Mark maintains a casual look, nothing special. Not some kids spending their parent's money coming to tell us they've got thirty billion naira (daddy's money).

.

Therefore, you could be great anytime, any day, you just have to start somewhere. Start it up, don't think income yet, it surely will come.
