Mark Zuckerberg was 22 when Yahoo offered $1 billion for Facebook, and his own team wanted him to take it. He went to Steve Jobs instead.
Jobs told him to go to India.
In the video below, Zuckerberg tells India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi what happened next.
"This is a story that I haven't told publicly and very few people know."
Facebook was 2 years old, with about 10 million users. Zuckerberg said no to Yahoo.
It was a tough patch, he says. A lot of people wanted to buy Facebook and thought he should sell.
So he went to one of his mentors, Steve Jobs.
Jobs told him to visit the temple in India he had gone to while figuring out what Apple should be.
Zuckerberg traveled for almost a month. It "reinforced for me the importance of what we were doing."
For early employees with stock, a $1 billion sale is a life-changing payout. Saying no means years of waiting, maybe for nothing.
Within a year of saying no to Yahoo, his entire management team had quit.
He never sold. Today Meta is worth over $1.4 trillion.
Yahoo offered $1 billion.
Steve Jobs offered a temple.
Would you have taken $1 billion at 22, or the ticket to India?

Your next breakthrough may require you to become comfortable being underestimated. You do not need to announce every plan, defend every decision,
or prove your potential to everyone around you. Keep learning, keep building, and let your consistency create evidence that words never could.
You don’t need to prove your potential. Build it until the results speak.

Jim Rohn taught that every human being has two great objectives. First: survive. Handle the basics. Pay the bills. Get through the difficulty. That’s essential, and Jim never diminished it.
But the second objective is where life transforms: succeed. Go beyond getting by.

Build something meaningful. Become someone worth becoming. Jim said most people get stuck at objective one. They survive, they settle, and they never discover what was possible beyond “enough.”
Jim spent his career showing people the path from survival to significance.

The person you become under pressure is built long before the pressure arrives. Train yourself to think clearly when emotions are high, stay disciplined when progress is slow, and keep your principles when shortcuts look attractive. Preparation is not only about being ready

Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP
