Mohammad Younus and the Birth of Social Business: Redefining Capitalism for Global Impact

/0 Comments/in /by

Muhammad Younus: Banking on the Poor – The Revolutionary Who Redefined Compassion in Capitalism

Mohammad Younus in a formal portrait, wearing a suit and smiling at the camera

The air in Jobra village hung heavy with the scent of rotting jute and unspoken despair. It was 1974, and Bangladesh’s famine had turned rice paddies into graveyards. Mohammad Younus, then a Chittagong University economics professor with a Vanderbilt PhD, stepped out of his lecture hall into a reality his textbooks had erased. Amidst scavenging chickens and crumbling mud huts, he found Sufiya Begum: 21 years old, ribs visible through her thin sari, weaving bamboo stools for 12 hours daily. Her profit? Two cents. Trapped by a loan shark who demanded her output at a fraction of its value, Sufiya’s debt was a life sentence. As she whispered, “Even my tears are not my own,” Yunus felt the violent collapse of academic abstraction. That afternoon, he lent $27 to 42 villagers—enough to break their chains. The amount was trivial; the act was seismic. Microfinance was born not in a boardroom, but in the scorching heat of human indignity.

The Architecture of Dignity: How Grameen Bank Rewrote the Rules

Yunus’ epiphany was radical in its simplicity: “Poverty isn’t created by the poor. It’s engineered by systems that exclude them.” Traditional banks saw the destitute as “unbankable”—too risky, too ignorant. But Yunus recognized their invisible collateral: the intricate web of trust in villages where neighbors shared rice pots and childcare. His weapon against poverty? Grameen Bank (“Village Bank”), which replaced contracts with community and collateral with conscience.

Mohammad Younus: The Mechanics of Trust

  • Group Lending Circles: Five women—often strangers—voluntarily linked fates. No lawyer witnessed their pact; their bond was shared vulnerability turned strength. When Rokeya’s cow died, her group repaid her loan installments for months. “Her loss was ours,” said Fatema, a co-borrower. Default rates dropped to 1.9%—lower than JPMorgan Chase’s credit cards.
  • Daily Micro-Repayments: A fish-seller repaid 30 cents daily at dawn, moments before buying stock at the market. This rhythm respected the pulse of informal economies where a dollar today beats ten tomorrow.
  • The Feminist Financial Revolution: After early loans to men funded cigarettes and lottery tickets, Yunus pivoted to women. Imams warned he’d “corrupt society.” His retort? “If a woman earns, she feeds the family. If a man earns, he feeds his ego.” Today, 9.3 million women borrow from Grameen. When Ayesha took her first $35 loan, she buried her face in her scarf, weeping: “Now my daughter won’t be sold as a maid.”

Mohammad Younus: The Ripple Effects of Financial Inclusion

Grameen’s true genius lay in the “Sixteen Decisions”—a borrower’s manifesto etched into village walls:

“We shall grow vegetables year-round. We shall send our children to school. We shall drink clean water. We shall refuse dowries.”

These vows became self-fulfilling prophecies. In Nilphamari district, Grameen borrowers dug 3,000 tube wells. In Satkhira, child marriage rates plummeted 74% after women withheld loans from families demanding dowries. When a cleric denounced Yunus, he disarmed him with theology: “Khadija, the Prophet’s wife, was a merchant. Denying women business is denying Islam’s heritage.”

Mohammad Younus: Scaling Dignity, Defying Skeptics

By 2006, Grameen had dispersed $5.7 billion in loans averaging $150. During Bangladesh’s 1998 floods, while corporate defaults soared, Grameen’s repayment rate held at 97.1%. The model thrived from Glasgow (where addicts became caterers) to the Bronx (where single moms launched daycare co-ops).

But Yunus’ boldest move targeted society’s “untouchables”: beggars. His Struggling Members Program gave 26,000 beggars merchandise—soap, snacks, toys—to sell while soliciting alms. Taslima, a blind widow, recalled her first sale: “A man bought biscuits from me. Then he said, ‘Sit, Auntie. Rest your feet.’ No one had called me ‘Auntie’ in 20 years.”

Mohammad Younus: The Three Zeros and Social Business

Yunus saw microfinance as merely a scalpel for capitalism’s cancerous flaws. “Our system confuses profit-maximization with human purpose,” he declared in A World of Three Zeros. His antidote? A trio of revolutions:

  1. Zero Poverty: “Charity is aspirin. Entrepreneurship is penicillin.”
  2. Zero Unemployment: “We train children to beg for jobs. Let them create jobs!”
  3. Zero Net Carbon: “Profit means nothing on a dead planet.”

Mohammad Younus: The Social Business Experiment

  • Grameen Danone: Sold nutrient-rich “Shokti Doi” yogurt through village women. For 10-year-old Rina, battling stunting, two cups weekly added 3cm to her height in 6 months.
  • Grameen Veolia: Built water plants selling 1-liter bottles for 1 cent in arsenic-contaminated villages.
  • Grameen Intel: Trained 112,000 “telemedicine midwives” to reduce maternal deaths.

“Investors get their money back—and a dividend measured in lives,” Yunus explained. When a French CEO asked, “Where’s the incentive?” Yunus smiled: “Where’s yours when you kiss your child goodnight?”

The Human Spark: Mohammad Younus

Yunus’ faith in human creativity was absolute. “Every person is a bonsai entrepreneur,” he insisted. “Poverty is the pot that stunts our growth.”

The Unlikely Heirs
  • Sufiya’s granddaughter, Jesmin, graduated from medical school in 2021—funded by loans her grandmother co-guaranteed.
  • Alexa Roland, the McGill student who abandoned Wall Street after meeting Yunus, now runs a social business incubator in Nairobi’s Kibera slum.
  • Diego Peña, a former Honduran gang member, used a $200 loan to start a bicycle repair shop. “Grameen didn’t give me money. It gave me back my name,” he says.

Mohammad Younus: The Unfinished Revolution

At 83, Yunus faces political persecution—fined for “tax evasion” many call fabricated. Yet his vision accelerates:

  • Glasgow’s Grameen funds refugee-run bakeries where Syrian flatbreads sell beside Scottish scones.
  • Yunus Environment Hub backs youth-led climate ventures from Dhaka (plastic roads) to Detroit (urban forests).
  • McGill’s Social Business Centre incubates indigenous-owned renewable energy firms.

“They try to jail me because poverty is a $4 trillion industry,” Yunus told the UN. “But no prison is large enough to cage an idea.”

The Eternal Equation

Yunus’ legacy isn’t in the billions loaned, but in dismantling the myth of worthiness. As he told Sufiya:

“This money isn’t charity. It’s a mirror. Look—you see a woman who repays. A mother who invests. A human the world called ‘nothing,’ who will now build everything.”

In villages from Jobra to Johannesburg, that reflection still ignites revolutions. Where bankers saw deficits, Yunus saw infinity—and proved hope could be loaned, not given.

“Poverty belongs in museums. Let our grandchildren point and whisper, ‘How could they have allowed it?’ as they walk past its glass case.”
—Muhammad Yunus

Shirin Ebadi: The Unbroken Whisper Defying Iran’s Gender Apartheid (2024)

/0 Comments/in /by

The Tea That Went Cold: Shirin Ebadi Unfinished Revolution

Shirin Ebadi reviewing legal documents in Tehran courtroom - Iran's first female judge turned dissident lawyer

The tremor in her hands is barely noticeable as she pours the tea. Three sugar cubes—never two, never four—dissolving in amber liquid. Outside her London flat, rain smears the gray sky. But Shirin Ebadi isn’t seeing England. She’s seeing the cracked tile floor of her Tehran kitchen, the scent of saffron rice rising, her daughter’s laughter bouncing off walls that no longer belong to her.

“They took everything,” she says, not bitterly, but like a doctor stating symptoms. “Even my grandmother’s samovar. But they couldn’t take the cracks in their own lies.”

At 78, the first Muslim woman Nobel Peace laureate moves with the careful economy of someone preserving energy for battles only she can see. Her voice, when it comes, is softer than you’d expect—a murmur that somehow cuts through noise.

Shirin Ebadi : The First Time They Told Her “No”

Tehran, 1969
The dean’s office felt like an oven. Young Shirin, top of her law class, sat clutching her judgeship application. The dean avoided her eyes.
“The High Council feels… a woman’s nature is too compassionate for criminal court.”
Shirin leaned forward, her words precise as surgical stitches:
“Was Imam Ali not compassionate? Yet he judged justly. Or does compassion suddenly weaken the law when it lives in a woman’s body?”
Silence.
She got the robes.

Shirin Ebadi : The Kitchen Courtroom

1979 – The Revolution
Overnight, her judgeship vanished. “Emotionally unfit,” the notice read. Demoted to clerk, she’d watch male judges—some fresh from seminary, ignorant of civil codes—misrule from her old bench.

Her real court became her kitchen table.

Midnight. The scrape of a chair.
A woman with a bruised cheek whispers: “He took my sons. The judge said children belong to fathers.”
Shirin’s fingers trace Iran’s Civil Code.
“Article 1169,” she says. “Below age seven, mothers have custody. We’ll file at dawn.”
The woman weeps into cold tea.

This was her rebellion: turning kitchens into war rooms, arming terrified women with Article Numbers like bullets.

The Case That Cracked Her Open

1999 – Tehran Morgue
The small body lay under a sheet. Eleven-year-old Arian Golshani. 147 bruises mapped on her skin like a constellation of pain.

Shirin had fought for months to remove her from her stepfather’s “care.” The judge ruled: “Discipline is a father’s right.”

“I failed her,” Shirin tells me, her knuckles whitening around her cup. “That night, I tore up my speech for the Women’s Rights Convention. What rights? We couldn’t even save a child.”

Out of that despair grew Iran’s first law against child abuse (2002). Written in Arian’s blood.

The Nobel of Shirin Ebadi: A Poisoned Chalice

October 2003
The call came while she was bathing her granddaughter. “Nobel? Don’t be absurd,” she laughed. Then Oslo’s area code flashed.

Chaos. Reporters trampled her roses. State TV called it “an Islamic victory.” For three days, she dared hope.

Then the whispers: “Traitor… Western puppet…”
Stones shattered her windows.
“Gifts” arrived—a funeral shroud, a noose.
Her Nobel medal? Confiscated “for safeguarding.”

“In Iran,” she smiles grimly, “even gold fears the government.”

Exile: The Unhomed Heart

June 2009 – London
The phone rang at 3 AM. Her husband’s voice, thick with pain: “They broke in… took everything… your notes… Leila’s drawings…”

Her daughter’s childhood art. Gone.

She stood frozen in a rented flat, holding a suitcase meant for a three-day conference. She hasn’t touched Iranian soil since.

“Homelessness,” she murmurs, “isn’t lacking walls. It’s when your memories become contraband.”

The Scars She Carries

Shirin Ebadi reviewing legal documents in Tehran courtroom - Iran's first female judge turned dissident lawyer

Look closer:

  • The slight limp from Evin Prison’s damp concrete (incarcerated 1999, “for disturbing minds”)
  • The way she touches her throat when tired—a reflex from the time interrogators squeezed her windpipe
  • The framed photo on her desk: Zahra Kazemi, the Canadian-Iranian journalist beaten to death in custody. Shirin took her case. Lost. Took it again.

“They warned me,” she says simply. “I told them: ‘Then you’ll need to kill me twice.’”

Gender Apartheid: Shirin Ebadi

“When a court values my testimony at half a man’s—that’s apartheid.
When morality police murder Mahsa Amini—that’s apartheid.”

Her campaign isn’t semantics. It’s a legal grenade.

The Exile’s Paradox

Her London flat is spare :

  • A chipped teacup from her mother
  • A 1975 photo: Judge Ebadi, robes flowing
  • A dried pansy : “From a girl in Evin. She hid it in her hijab.”

“We exiles are ghosts,” she says. “We haunt two worlds.”

Yet every morning, she logs onto Signal. Messages pour in:

  • “My sister was arrested for no hijab—help?”
  • “We recited your speech in the dormitory!”

Her rebellion: bearing witness.

Why She Still Hopes

February 2024
Shirin slides a phone across the table. Grainy footage: girls in Isfahan chanting “Woman, Life, Freedom!” Their scarves dangle defiantly from sticks like flags.

“See?” Her eyes glisten. Unbreakable girls.”

The Ritual

Every Friday, Shirin sets two teacups.
One for herself.
Other empty—“for Iran.”

She speaks to the silence:
“The baker in Shiraz gave free bread…
Flowers grew at Mahsa’s grave anyway…”

The Cost

Ask about regrets, and she’ll show you a 2004 photo: her husband and daughter, blurred in the background as she gives a speech.

“I chose the world’s children over mine,” she whispers.What mother does that?”

The silence hangs heavy. Outside, London rumbles on.

Then she lifts her chin: “Could I have looked at Arian’s mother? Or Zahra Kazemi?”

The Unbroken Thread

Shirin Ebadi’s power is in her relentless return.

After prison? She sued her jailers.
After exile? She became Iran’s global conscience.

“They misunderstand,” she says. “This isn’t defiance. It’s love. You don’t abandon family because they’re sick. You fight for their healing.”

As dusk stains her window, she picks up the phone. Another call. Another girl in trouble. The tea goes cold—again.

On the wall, her father’s words, framed in his handwriting:
“Justice is a seed.
Plant it in cracked earth.
Water it with tears.
Then wait.
Even stones cannot hold it back forever.”

In Tehran tonight, a young lawyer defends a woman arrested for dancing. She pins Shirin’s photo above her desk. She’s never met her. Doesn’t need to. The whisper travels through the cracks: “I am here. Keep going.”

Kailash Satyarthi: Nobel Laureate, Child Rights Crusader & Global Humanitarian

The Fire in His Bones: Kailash Satyarthi and the Children Who Wouldn’t Let Him Sleep

Kailash Satyarthi, social reformer

The rain in Vidisha wasn’t just water that day in 1959. It was a curtain, pulled back to reveal a truth too heavy for a five-year-old’s shoulders. Kailash Satyarthi, snug in his starched uniform, tilak fresh on his forehead, clutched his prized umbrella—a splash of color against the grey deluge. Ahead, a scene carved itself into his soul: a cobbler, his face twisted with a desperation that smelled like wet leather and despair, raining blows on his own shivering son.

The boy’s crime? Huddling under plastic to escape the downpour, letting customers’ shoes get ruined. “Roti ka sawal hai!” (It’s a question of survival!), the man sobbed, the sound raw against the drumming rain. In that instant, Kailash didn’t see poverty; he saw a monstrous equation: the value of leather > the life of a child. Without a word, a trembling hand thrust his cherished umbrella towards the crying boy, then turned and ran. It wasn’t kindness; it was rebellion. The first spark.

Becoming Kailash Satyarthi: Shedding Skin, Finding Soul

That dissonance hummed beneath his childhood. Asking “Why can’t he come to school?” earned a teacher’s sharp rebuke. The cobbler’s resigned sigh – “Hum toh kaam karne ke liye paida hue hain” (We are born to work) – was the bitter tea of caste destiny. But Kailash Sharma choked on it. At 11, he wasn’t playing football; he was funding revolution.

Every goal scored meant another child’s school fees paid. By 15, his “book bank” wasn’t just 2,000 dog-eared texts; it was an arsenal against ignorance, hauled door-to-door. Then came the shedding. Dropping “Sharma,” the high-caste armor, he embraced Satyarthi – “Seeker of Truth.” It felt less like a name, more like a tattoo on his spirit. A vow whispered in the face of a thousand resigned eyes.

The Blueprint He Burned: When Comfort Became Complicity

The engineering degree felt solid in his hand. The teaching job offered respect, security. But the ghosts wouldn’t leave. The image of that drenched boy bled into the comfortable lines of his blueprints. Gandhi’s words – satyagraha (truth-force), seva (service) – became a drumbeat in his chest, louder than societal approval. 1980. The year comfort died. He walked away. Family wept, neighbours scoffed: “Pagal ho gaya?” (Has he gone mad?). But Satyarthi knew: Real engineering wasn’t about wires; it was about cutting the chains binding millions of tiny wrists. His tools wouldn’t be calipers, but courage.

Bachpan Bachao Andolan: Raids, Rage, and the Ragged Sound of Freedom

  • Midnight’s Children:

    Tip-offs came like secrets passed in the dark. Factories humming with illegal looms. Kilns where the air tasted of dust and despair. Brothels where innocence was a currency. The snap of bolt-cutters breaking chains wasn’t just sound; it was the ragged gasp of freedom. Children emerged blinking, skin papery-thin, eyes holding galaxies of stolen time. Some couldn’t remember their own names.

  • The Scars They Carried:

    Activist Murari Sharma’s body, broken on a circus floor in 2004. Dhoom Das, silenced by a bullet. Satyarthi himself – bones broken by iron rods, nights spent listening for assassins’ footsteps outside his family’s hiding place. “Darr insaan ka sabse bada dushman hai,” he’d rasp. “Fear is humanity’s greatest enemy. We starve it.“

  • Bal Ashram: Where Broken Wings Learned to Fly:

    Rescue was just chapter one. Bal Ashram was where chapter two began. Not just beds and rice, but psychologists gently untangling nightmares, teachers coaxing laughter from lips stiff with silence, artisans showing scarred hands how to create beauty. It smelled of hope, disinfectant, and fresh paint. Over 130,000 children passed through its gates, learning their first lesson: You belong to yourself.

Lighting Fires Around the World: Stubborn Hope on a Global Scale

  1. Kailash Satyarthi: GoodWeave (1994):

    He exposed the dirty secret knotted into India’s carpets: tiny fingers bleeding on intricate patterns. Instead of just shouting, he built. GoodWeave (first RugMark) – a label. Unannounced inspectors. If a loom was clean, the carpet got a tag. IKEA joined. Slowly, the tide turned – an 80% drop in South Asia’s carpet belt child labor. Not perfect, but proof: ethical shopping isn’t a trend; it’s a lifeline.

  2. The Blistered March of  Kailash Satyarthi (1998):

    His masterstroke. Not a petition, but a Global March Against Child Labour. 80,000 km. 103 countries. Children marched who had never seen a playground. A boy missing an arm from a factory accident. A girl who escaped a brothel. Their blistered feet, their raw-throated chants, became an anthem the world couldn’t ignore. It hammered on the doors of Geneva until the ILO adopted Convention 182 (1999) – banning the worst child labour. The only convention every single nation on earth has ratified. The march made the invisible undeniable.

  3. Kailash Satyarthi: 100 Million Campaign (2016):

    Satyarthi looked at young faces and saw the future. The 100 Million Campaign wasn’t for youth; it was youth. Students in 35+ countries finding their voice, demanding freedom and safety for the 100 million still trapped. It was hope, loud and organized.

Oslo’s Echo: The Cobbler’s Son in the Hall of Kings

Kailash Satyarthi, social reformer

2014. Sharing the Nobel with Malala. The gold medal felt cold. The stage was his weapon. He didn’t start with numbers.

  • He told them about the cobbler’s son in the rain.
  • He spoke of Lakshmi, rescued from slavery, her spirit unbroken.
  • “Child slavery is a crime against humanity,” his voice, usually calm, cracked with a fury honed over decades. “Humanity itself is at stake here.”
  • He stared into the glittering audience: “How can the world remain so wealthy with its poor?” A silence thicker than velvet fell. It was a slap wrapped in truth.

India’s Agony: The Fight Beneath the Shine

  • The Relentless Ticking: NCRB 2022: 18 crimes against children reported every hour. Over 10 million kids (5-14 yrs) still labouring. The world’s highest number. A crushing weight.
  • Justice’s Hollow Shell: Good laws – Child Labour Act, POCSO. But enforcement? A sick joke. Corruption. Apathy. Underpaid, overwhelmed police. Only 32% of POCSO cases end in conviction. Rapists walk free while survivors wait lifetimes.
  • Bharat Yatra: When His Feet Answered Fury (2017): Despair wasn’t an option. Satyarthi laced his boots. Bharat Yatra: 12,000 km. 22 states. 35 days. Millions marching, roaring against trafficking and abuse. The ground shook. It pushed through the 2018 POCSO amendment – death for raping children under 12. Controversial? Yes. But born from a nation’s scream he helped articulate.

The Kailash Satyarthi: Why He Still Walks at 70

160 million children globally are still enslaved. Conflict, climate chaos, and pandemic fallout push more into the shadows. Satyarthi’s fight evolves:

  • The Digital Bog: He hounds governments and tech giants: “Hunt the predators on the dark web! Faster!” The digital chains are invisible but just as cruel.
  • Supply Chains: The Devil’s in the Details: He demands corporations trace every thread, every mineral. “Who made your phone? Your chocolate? Look harder.”
  • Healing the Unseen: Bal Ashram now has therapists specializing in the deep, silent scars. Trauma isn’t fixed with a roof and a meal.
  • Climate’s Cruel Calculus: He connects the dots: droughts flood cities with desperate, vulnerable children – traffickers’ prey. Climate justice is child justice.

At Harvard, the old fire burned in his eyes: “My dream? Simple. A world where every child owns their childhood. Where their only chains are hugs. Where their days smell of chalk dust, grass stains, and pure, silly laughter. Until then? My feet keep moving. My voice won’t break.”

Kailash Satyarthi : A Legacy Written in Scars and Sparks

Kailash Satyarthi didn’t ask for charity; he demanded justice. He fused Gandhi’s fierce non-violence with the levers of global power and market forces. He proved one stubborn heart, fuelled by unbearable witness, can move mountains.

When asked about the beatings, the threats, the near-misses, a quiet, knowing smile often plays on his lips. He quotes the Mexican proverb like a shield: “They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.”

Kailash Satyarthi: The Candle and the Covenant:

In his modest Delhi office, away from the medals and photos with world leaders, sits a simple, half-melted candle. Its story is the core of everything.

During a raid on a suffocating garment factory. His team pulled out children who hadn’t seen sunlight in months. As they stumbled into the light, one small boy, maybe eight, face etched with an old man’s weariness. Then he pressed something into Satyarthi’s hand. A candle stub, stolen from his captors.

“Kaka,” the boy whispered, the word rough from disuse, “woh log mujhe andhere mein rakhte the. Yeh lelo… meri raushni kar do.” (Uncle, they kept me in the dark. Take this… light my way home).

That stolen candle isn’t wax. It’s the covenant. Here it’s the unbreakable promise Satyarthi made – and keeps – with every child still waiting in the shadows. Then it’s the fragile, defiant flame he guards not just with his life. But with every ragged breath, every aching step, every roar against the dying of their light.

Because for Kailash Satyarthi, the truth he seeks is simple, searing, and non-negotiable: “Har Bachcha Hamara Bachcha Hai.” Every child is our child.

And for every one still lost in the dark, the Seeker of Truth is still walking, still searching, still holding that stolen light as high as his old, strong arms can lift it.

Conclusion

Melinda French Gates is evidence of the good that can result from kindness with a plan. Her impact as a philanthropist, technologist, and supporter of gender equality is not only remarkable, but really fucking cool. By focusing on the underserved, promoting systemic change and investing in lasting solutions, she has improved countless lives.

In her leadership with the Gates Foundation and her work at Pivotal Ventures, Melinda has taken on some of the most challenging issues of our time—from global health and educational inequality to financial inclusion and support for women and girls. Her focus on investing in women and girls reflects the conviction that gender equity is the essential element in the progress of societies.

And even as she leaves the foundation she established with her then-husband, Melinda remains a lodestar for progressive giving. Her story underscores not only generosity, but unswerving faith in human capacity. Melinda French Gates has redefined what it means to empower women by sharing power and wealth as it serves purpose, leadership with vision, empathy and impact. Her story is a powerful reminder that by having a clear sense of mission and empathy, it is possible for one person to make a difference in the world.

Reed Hastings: A Beginner’s Guide to the Co-Founder of Netflix and The Philanthropy of Reed Hastings

Reed Hastings

📈 The Riches of Reed Hastings, a Netflix Revolutionary

As of May 2025, Reed Hastings has a net worth of $6.4 billion, according to Forbes. The vast majority of his fortune comes from his decades-long stewardship and ownership in Netflix. Where he co-founded in 1997 and led as CEO until 2023.

The path that Netflix has taken under Hastings is a case study in digital disruption. It got its start as a DVD rental-by-mail service. Before it became the world’s No. 1 streaming service. Hastings spotted the industry’s move to digital early. And led his company to begin streaming in 2007, long before its rivals.

This pivotal moment created a paradigm shift in how content was consumed. Original shows like Stranger Things, The Crown and House of Cards weren’t just popular. Rather, they reset the course of television storytelling. The methodology of content curation, custom user algorithms and even binge-release strategy at Netflix was pioneers in the entertainment space.

That company’s overseas growth also bolstered Netflix’s valuation and Hastings’ own net worth. Today, the company is in over 190 countries with hundreds of millions of subscribers.

But Hastings is more than a business school success story. In 2024, he transferred 2 million shares of Netflix (valued at about $1.1 billion) to his charitable foundation. The move was one of the biggest individual gifts of the year and underscored his belief that wealth can be used to make a difference.

His path to riches is a typical narrative of wealth created by innovation, shaped by foresight, risk-taking and a deepening embrace of redistributive philanthropy.

🎓 Educational Foundations: From Mathematics to Media Mogul

Reed Hastings  Early life

The values and the long-term vision of Reed Hastings are deeply rooted in his academic and professional career.

He received his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Bowdoin College 1983, which formed him on analytical thinking and problem solving. Math gave him a more systematic method to solving problems: skills he’d apply to both business strategy and programming.

As a teacher

After Bowdoin, Hastings served in the Peace Corps, teaching math in Swaziland (now Eswatini) from 1983 to 1985. It changed me somehow. Surrounded by a contrasting culture and exposed to educational injustices, Hastings conceived of the world a little differently, and as a result began to form a global outlook for education.

Back in the U.S., he received his Master’s Degree in computer science from Stanford University in 1988. Stanford landed him in the epicenter of Silicon Valley at the height of the software revolution. He subsequently co-founded Pure Software, a successful tech enterprise that built tools for debugging Unix applications. It went public in 1995 and was acquired by Rational Software in 1997.

Join Tech company

Hastings had a cherished and educative time at Pure Software, which taught him the vagaries of scaling a tech company. He knows firsthand how bureaucracy and bad culture fit can kill innovation. His experiences in those rooms were the building blocks of his managerial philosophy at Netflix.

It was a rare combination of teaching, mathematics, and coding which converged into an interesting philosophy – the philosophy of systems thinking, user centric design and social responsibility.

He was a champion of public school accountability and the funding of charter schools. Hastings has sat on the California State Board of Education, and has backed platforms such as Khan Academy, DreamBox Learning and other ed-tech ventures.

This long standing focus on education—from teaching in a classroom, to investing in ideas with the power to disrupt—reflects his conviction that intellectual equity is a fundamental prerequisite of a just society.

💑 Reed Hastings: Partnership with Patricia Ann Quillin

Reed Hastings is married to Patricia Ann Quillin, a philanthropist connected deeply to ecology education and social justice, et cetera. Formerly the President of the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum, Quillin applies a community and nature-centered perspective to their philanthropic contributions.

The couple have two children together, and keep their private lives relatively out of the limelight. But their shared philanthropic footprint is a testament to their beliefs.

They pledged to give at least half their wealth to philanthropy through the Giving Pledge, an initiative started by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren E. Buffett. The same year, they started the Hastings Fund, which began with $100 million and was focused on reforming K–12 education, with an eye toward schools in underserved communities.

Reed Hastings donations

Their best-known donation was in 2020, when they gave $120 million to help the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The donation helped Spelman College, Morehouse College and the United Negro College Fund and was among the largest individual gifts to Black institutions in the United States.

Patricia is heavily involved in these charitable decisions. She is passionate about race equity, climate preservation, and early childhood education. Individually, they’re both pretty great - as an organization the partnership is…amazing!

Their not just writing checks — their designing systems for change, aligning with partners that optimize reach and impact. Their giving is based on data and scalability, and a faith in transformative, not transactional, results.

🏔️ Powder Mountain: A Vision for Sustainable Development

Reed Hastings

Powder Mountain is not just a mountain, its not just a place where big dreams come true for a small selected group of investors and burners.

Hastings made headlines again in 2023 by purchasing a majority interest in Powder Mountain, a ski resort in northern Utah. His vision is larger than recreation — it is an experiment in community building, sustainable design and environmental stewardship.

He unveiled a $100 million investment plan to ensure the responsible development of the resort facilities. Unlike most private ski area developments, two-thirds of the skiable land would be preserved for public use, yielding affordable recreation space for the broader world to enjoy.

The residential portion, going by the name Powder Haven, will be a low-density, high-quality settlement of homes and lodges which will source its power needs through renewable energy and be subject to tough sustainability rules. Hastings has stressed that this isn’t simply about real estate — it’s the concept of intentional community.

Design elements include:

  • Carbon-neutral construction
  • Greywater recycling systems
  • Electric-only transport within resort boundaries
  • Locally sourced materials
  • Wildlife corridor protection zones

Powder Mountain will also operate as a gathering spot for thought leaders. So à la the vision of Summit Series in years past. Hastings wants it to be a hub where technologists, environmentalists, educators. And artists will work together — a kind of Davos-in-the-snow without the elitism.

Local employment and community engagement are integral to the spirit of the project. Hastings has said that long-term success will be a product of “material engagement with the land and people, not just the economy.”

If successful, Powder Mountain would be used as a model for a new kind of planing of eco-integrated resort community all over the world.

🌐 Conclusion: A Legacy of Innovation with Impact

Reed Hastings’ rise from math teacher to Silicon Valley icon is perhaps more than a story of meritocracy at work . At its core, it is a testament to values-driven leadership.

He changed the way people experience entertainment. Netflix’s clout extends far beyond Hollywood. Here influencing consumers’ viewing habits, internet architecture. Even, it seems clear, norms around global storytelling.

But Hastings’ influence doesn’t stop there. His emphasis on education equity and sustainable development makes us imagine a future. Where he capitalizes on existence in a way only his conscience can permit.

Whether or not it works is an empirical matter, of course. But he’s constructed his own schools, platforms, and even mountains. For real, not just metaphorically — in the service of leading evidence-based solutions to long-standing problems.

Now, with his time freed from the daily duties of overseeing Netflix. In this, Hastings is harnessing his time and fortune to create a more equitable and sustainable world.

His story is not only about what is next in tech — but what it is possible to accomplish when innovation is grounded not just in empathy, but also in discipline.

🧩 Key Takeaways

  • $6.4B Net Worth: Netflix ride, giant philanthropy.
  • Academic Roots: Math at Bowdoin, Computer Science at Stanford, Peace Corps teaching.
  • Philanthropy Focus: $120 Million to HBCUs, $1.1 Billion Donation in 2024, $100 Million Hastings Fund.

Jack Ma Alibaba story

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jack Ma success

Jack Ma

As humans, we are deeply social and need a spark of fantasy to work with to get us motivated and thinking. In our everyday lives, we interact with several people, and Jack Ma is one of them, but we derive motivation from only a select few. What differentiates these few that capture our interest is the rich tapestry of stories that they have to share. As young kids, we take comfort in stories, like the classic heroic figure who rides in to save his people, and we grow up cherishing these narratives. Research shows that such stories, classified as inspirational, have powerful effects on our brains, fostering a greater sense of empathy, an increase in generosity, and an overall more positive perception of life.

Today’s focal point is the story of a man who, quite literally, altered the entire economy and internet industry of China. The life of this man bears a striking resemblance to the tale of Robert the Bruce and the Spider, which we first encountered in kindergarten. That man is Jack Ma.

Who is Jack Ma?

Jack Ma is the face of China’s E-commerce jumpstart as the founder of Alibaba. He is an associate at Alipay, the sister company which is an e-payment portal. Currently, he holds the title of the richest man in China with an already mind-boggling net worth of $25 billion and the headline-grabbing record of a $150 billion IPO filing for his company. Although Jack Ma only holds a 7.8 per cent stake in Alibaba and 50 per cent in Alipay, it’s interesting to mention Ma is not well known outside China, but one should know Alibaba is valued greater than Facebook and moves more merchandise than eBay and Amazon combined.

You might think now it’s becoming the story of a rich, arrogant person who hasn’t seen the dark side. But don’t let the numbers deceive you, as they are misleading anyone who wants to be misled. ma has had a tougher childhood than most people out there. “A true rags-to-riches story jackpot visit will make you believe in hope even on your toughest days.”

Early Life

Ma Yun, or Jack Ma as most know him, is a self-made billionaire with a fairly humble life history. Jack’s early life began in Hangzhou, in southeastern China. He was born alongside an older brother and a younger sister amid communist China and its West-ostracizing wounds. The family had traditional Musicians-Storytellers as parents who, during these times, could not even be deemed middle class.

When former US president Richard Nixon visited Hangzhou in 1972, it significantly improved tourism in Jack’s hometown. Jack wished to exploit learning opportunities and pursued English very seriously. Additionally, he used to ride his bicycle to a nearby park where he gave free English tours to foreigners and, to his luck, met a foreign girl who nicknamed him ‘Jack’, making things much easier for him.

After completing his bachelor’s degree in English, Jack started working as an English teacher at Hangzhou Dianzi University—earning a whopping $12 a month! Now, this is where things start to pick up. This fascinating story begins before he got the degree and way before he started teaching English.

Rejected, but Not a Failure

During this period, Jack Ma unexpectedly became a billionaire overnight. It’s also safe to note that Ma is very familiar with the term rejection. You would be stunned at the amount of failure and rejection this man went through.

In his early years, Jack Ma experienced failure in his primary school and did not succeed in his first two attempts. Later on, Jack had the same experience during his middle school exams, where he failed three times. Post completing high school, Jack struggled with entrance exams for universities and failed three times before being accepted to Hangzhou Normal University. Jack attempted to gain admission to Harvard University ten times, all of which resulted in rejection. And this was only in his education years.

During and after his degree, Jack struggled to secure a job and attempted multiple positions without success. After trying to get into a university for three years, graduating, and applying to 30 different companies, Jack was still unable to find employment. He recalls the moment he realised he was underestimated in his job prospects: “When KFC came to China, 24 people went for the job. Only 23 individuals received acceptance. I was the only individual not accepted. Jack also applied to the police force, the only candidate out of 5 to be rejected with the words “No, you’re no good” voiced to him.

In his aspirations to become an entrepreneur, Jack had set sights on being extremely ambitious, though he did not succeed in two of his initial attempts. This undeterred him from persisting and following his dreams.

Down, but Not Out!

The Resurrection of Jack Ma

Jack Ma

“What did you learn from your rejections?” “Well, I think we have to get used to it. We’re not that good.” That’s how he responded. Jack Ma embraced overcoming the pain of rejection in business as an opportunity to learn and grow.

After Ma accepted all of his rejections and failures, he was given an assignment in 1995 to work on a government project in the United States that focused on highway construction. That’s when Jack Ma got to see the Internet and computers for the first time. Considering the cost, computers were quite rare in China at the time, and there was no Internet or e-mail. The first word he typed on the mosaic browser was ‘Beer’, and it displayed results from various countries, but none from China. He typed in ‘China’, and not a single result popped out! This was the moment he knew it was time for the people of China to step into the digital world.

Jack Ma start-up

Eventually, he successfully convinced 17 of his other friends to invest in his new e-commerce venture, and thus, Alibaba was born from his apartment. Initially, Alibaba did not have a single penny in external investment, but in 1999, it went on to raise $20 million from SoftBank and another $5 million from Goldman Sachs. Ma and Alibaba’s greatest challenge was to win the trust of the Chinese citizens that an online system of payment and package transfers is viable, a challenge Jack will forever cherish.

Never having sold anything or even having written a single line of code. Jack Ma started his first successful company at 31. And now, he runs one of the largest e-commerce networks globally. The company has experienced significant growth and international expansion. Rapidly expanding beyond its initial boundaries. Now, only second to Walmart in sales per year. Jack Ma’s vision for Alibaba is now becoming the giant he envisioned it to be.

Jack Ma Interview with Us

What does all this culminate in? This one is a cheery figure with the disposition of a kid. As someone who enlightens him, he is the actual ‘Forrest Gump’. A gentleman who, regardless of the numerous hurdles thrown in his path, always moves forward with a smile.

You can cultivate inner strength and demonstrate extreme diligence in your pursuit of success. Indeed, failures and rejections serve as stepping stones for progress, and obstacles facilitate your advancement in life. All of this is what Jack Ma has shared with humanity, leveraging the myriad opportunities offered to him.

“Adaptability to the Indian economic climate defines long-term success.”

  • Increased e-commerce penetration impacts traditional retail models

Warren Buffett net worth vs Elon Musk

/0 Comments/in , /by

Warren Buffett: The Oracle of Omaha

Warren Buffett

Today I will explain Warren Buffett versus Elon Musk. There are differences in their investment perspectives. What this can teach us about investing in the world of innovation.

If you’re interested in learning how to make money in both bull and bear markets. If you want to see what I’m trading or investing in, be sure to hit that subscribe button. So, obviously, we’ve had the news that Elon Musk just surpassed Warren Buffett in terms of his net worth.

Now, some of this is because Buffett’s been giving away his money, obviously. But I thought it’d be interesting to kind of move beyond the headlines. Then, really think about how Elon Musk and Warren Buffett approach the world and investing versus Warren Buffett.

Warren Buffett is better than Elon Musk

So I would say that Musk is obviously an innovator, one of our great inventors. He’s into solving really hard problems and pushing the frontiers of human knowledge. Warren Buffett, I would argue, is the exact opposite; he likes that he developed this idea of the investment mode. Which he, I believe, got from Ben.

Graham Buffett talks about using investment modes as a way of protecting the company, ensuring that it can stifle competition and innovation, so where Musk is really moving us towards the future, Buffett has been all about preserving the status quo and sort of rent-seeking and milking an existing customer base.

Elon Musk, I love this tweet: Open your eyes; look up to the skies. One of his really, really great ones is trying to get people to Mars by 2025. He is really, really a visionary, and then on the other side, you have Buffett and the sort of role model he is always talking about, Cherry Coke, and if you look at his portfolio, it’s really shocking how much of it is addictive garbage junk food, everything from Kraft Heinz.

How did Musk make Warren Buffett rich?

So, Musk is clearly a major innovator. Now, obviously, I grew up eating all this stuff as a kid at KG. I like to eat it, but this is definitely stuff that holds humanity back. I mean, spreading Coca-Cola all over the world has made Buffett very rich.

But it’s also created a huge amount of diabetes, especially in emerging markets, and I think Buffett has this; he has this very nice public image, very grandfatherly, but when you really dig down and you see what he does and what he invests in, I think it’s—I think it’s disturbing actually. You can go back and read this; it’s a link to this.

This is a famous Charlie Munger talk where he talks about how to create a trillion-dollar company; he’s basically talking about Coca-Cola, but he talks about how you need to include sugar, caffeine, and salt and make it really addictive and have it spread all over the world.

Warren Buffett investments

You created it with no aftertaste, and so people will drink more of it. It’s brilliant. Munger’s a brilliant guy. Buffett’s a brilliant guy, but when you read this in the context of modern addiction and everything like that, it’s actually quite disturbing, so I’ll link to that.

It’s definitely worth reading, though; his Munger talks about the famous Lollapalooza effect in here on the other side of some of Buffett’s investments; he sold off some of these. He’s turned against Goldman Sachs. Buffett’s investing in the big US banks is really the opposite of innovation.

These are giant rent-seeking corporations that use their power and their government sanction to keep down rivals. This is a great meme. I don’t always go to the bank; when I do, I avoid Wells Fargo, which is sort of Buffett’s longest and most famous bank holding, perhaps.

Warren Buffett, opposite to Elon Musk

Warren Buffett

Wells Fargo has just a tremendous amount of power; here’s a recent story telling clients they need to have a million dollars in balances to do a jumbo mortgage refi. This is obviously a sign of the amount of competition that’s in this market.

Buffett has been a large holder of Moody’s, which is a bond rating agency, since before the financial crisis, and Moody’s was one of the real contributors to the great financial crisis.

Everything crashed. Buffett got in on a lot of sweetheart deals during the great financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, and he’s really famous for never having criticized Moody’s for what they did in terms of rating risky bonds.

Warren Buffett clean image

As it’s not risky, I’ll give you one simple example of a big established company: Coke, obviously an iconic Buffett holding, and their idea of innovation versus what real innovation looks like. Here’s a story from late last year: Coke is launching a new sparkling water brand called Eh-eh.

Obviously, their market share has been—Coke’s market share has been falling a lot over the last 20 years as people moved to sort of healthier beverages, but here’s Coke’s idea of innovation: sparkling water.

with caffeine, of course, to make it addictive when you compare it to all these. This real flourishing of innovative products that we have now, particularly in, I would say, probably particularly in the US, is a company called DRAM, DRAM Apothecary.

Warren Buffett – biggest stockholder

I’ve had their beverages, and they’re just amazing. Here is one that is adaptogenic: CBD sparkling water with silver ear mushroom, moringa leaf, and bilberry. Really cool stuff like this, as opposed to it, is much more difficult, especially when you have an investment.

I like this mode to really think outside the box. You’ve been so protected for so many years, and this is sort of the difference. If Eli were the head of a soda company, he would, I think, do something more like DRAM than Coke.

If you look at Buffett’s biggest stock holdings here, these are the largest. He obviously has private companies and private subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway, but if you just look at this, it boggles the mind if you were worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars and you woke up in the 20th century holding things like Bank of America and Delta Airlines; he’s obviously since dumped the airlines.

Warren Buffett owns Apple and Amazon

JP Morgan, Moody’s, and US Bank Corp. are companies that have a real stranglehold, and perhaps it’s a warning for all of us that Buffett also owns Apple and Amazon.

If he didn’t, if he didn’t hope these, he would have fallen much, much further behind the SP500 than he has, but it may give you insight into Apple and Amazon’s monopoly powers. Buffett likes investing in companies that are anti-innovation and that swallow up and prevent new competitors from entering the landscape, so obviously, that includes Apple and Amazon, as we said.

likes investing in companies that are anti-innovation and that swallow up and prevent new competitors from entering the landscape, so obviously, own Apple and Amazon, as we said.

Involvement in money laundering?

I’ll link to the list of Wells Fargo scandals. The extremely long JPMorgan scandals are really long; here’s a story about how they owned a ship containing 20 tons of cocaine.

Companies implicated in money laundering for many years, laundering drug money, laundering terror terrorism money, and just not very nice companies in my opinion.

Finally, we’ll finish with Buffett on his views on money, gold, and Bitcoin, and here, he’s definitely a fan of the Fiat system. We’re very, very anti-gold. This is a famous article from Fortune from 2012 where he talks about how he likes stocks so much more than gold and bonds, and this would make sense from someone who owns so many of the big banks and is so invested in the Fiat system.

Illegal Purchase of Gold and Bitcoin?

But if you look at how Berkshire Hathaway, which is Buffett’s company, obviously is a conglomerate, his holding company, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has, at this point, gold has been underperforming for most of the last 20 years; here’s the chart.

The red is gold, the actual precious metal of the commodity, and the blue line is Berkshire Hathaway. It’s quite ironic that he’s actually underperforming gold over this whole time period.

If you compare Berkshire Hathaway to Bitcoin, I probably should have used a logarithmic chart here, but you can see Bitcoin’s up something like 7,000 percent over this time horizon.

How did Buffett hurt people?

I believe I have only been going back as far as 2013 and obviously Berkshire. It’s kind of an unfair comparison because Bitcoin is very small or started off as a very small company—I mean, a very small new currency—and Berkshire Hathaway is obviously much bigger with slower growth rates.

But I just find it ironic that someone who attacks that gold and attacks Bitcoin would have just massively underperformed them and continue to underperform them. Munger is also not a fan of Bitcoin, saying that it’s disgusting that people buy Bitcoin.

Munger and Buffett are the kind of people who want you locked into the fiat system so they can continue to charge you crazy fees like Wells Fargo does, and what’s ironic is most of these bank fees obviously hurt working-class and middle-class people more than they hurt upper-class account holders.

Buffett is a dinosaur

So one of the great ironies is that I would suggest that history is probably going to judge Buffett a little bit more harshly than his contemporaries have. Here’s a great Buffett’s famous saying that I think of what Munger said: Well, the Bitcoin is rat poison, rat poison squared, and fear here.

I think Buffett really is a dinosaur. This is a great image of magic internet money, Bitcoin, as the meteor, the comet that destroyed the dinosaurs, and here we have all these legacy currencies like the Canadian dollar, the euro, the Australian dollar, and the US dollar. Then, Warren Buffett is here on the left as one of the dinosaurs.

If you found this video helpful and you really want a less superficial or fun version of it. I have a much longer video on why value investing is dead and why it has stopped working since 2009.

If you really want to dig into that and get a better idea of why this strategy has continued to underperform and should continue to underperform going forward, I’m much more, as you can tell, in the Musk camp of innovation growth stocks moving humanity forward.

10 interesting facts about Mark Zuckerberg

/1 Comment/in , /by

Mark Zuckerberg Childhood 

Mark Zuckerberg

When children evolved in gaming, they evolved in programming. At the age of 7, his parents thought of teaching him coding; they brought a teacher to teach him coding. The teacher brought Mark Zuckerberg.

Seeing him, he used to say that this student is out of syllabus, even for me. The teacher who was Mark’s teacher started taking lessons from Mark. He was such a smart person that the teacher forgot all his coding and started learning coding from him.

Mark Zuckerberg Early Life

When he later got him admitted to the advanced programming course, he was 10 years old. So, the basic programming course rejected him at first. I didn’t want to learn; I wanted to learn advanced.
When I went to advanced, on the first day, he said to the teacher, What will you teach me? Give me the final exam, and I will pass. The teacher felt very good.

The world first points a finger and then claps. This is Mark Zuckerberg when he went to Harvard. When he was taking admission at Harvard, the children were looking worried as to which course I should go to. Which course should I go to? Where there are more girls. Where my friend is going and which one is better for the exam.

Later, the result will be good. Who is whose teacher? Where is the interest more? Whose class is it and how long? He sat there and saw all these problems, and within 48 hours, he did coding and made the course match.

I am talking about the year 2002. Course match: Which course matches my interest? Which course do I want to pick up? Who is going where? Which classmates are talking about what—everything was visible to him right there. He was so intelligent because he never wasted time. He never thought of time. Every billionaire entrepreneur values ​​time a lot, friend.

Mark Zuckerberg dating with girl

At that time, boy-girl relationship breakup patch-up breakup patch-up was happening. One day, he told him, Friend, you should also go and date. No, it is not our job, brother. We write code; we don’t date.

Still, the friend sent him. This girl is very cute; you should go on a date with her. Now, it was a culture there; everyone used to go there. One day, he went there. Sat with the girl in the club, and while drinking beer, he said, Do you know about coding? He said no; he said you know about programming.

He said, No, I will explain Chinese IQ to you. The girl started saying, Look how smart you are. Talk about entrepreneurship in Chinese IQ. She said no. Which book do you read? She said, No; what are you talking about? Then the girl said, What boy has come? He said, I will talk about handsome men.

Where is a good restaurant? I will talk about makeup. I will talk about the latest trend: nightclubs. His mind got disturbed, and Marg understood that this time is for me. This is a huge time-waster.

Mark Zuckerberg different dating

Mark Zuckerberg
Marg started calculating the same mathematics. The cost of time spent on this, what was its cost? The cost of the gift is the amount of money given as a gift. Dinner cost, the cost of travel, and the cost of not doing the business at this cost.

After calculating the cost, he thought, Friend, the date is getting very expensive. Then, wasting time on women that will be gone, it’s better to invest the time on the unreleased product. If the girl wants to be set, her career should be set. This man is of a different level.

Mark Zuckerberg – Harvard Life

I am inspiring you. I had gotten moderately drunk, and then I got extremely drunk. I picked up that girl’s photo from Harvard’s website and put a photo of a beach with it. I am sorry. I put a photo of a female dog and a beach and asked people there who is better, this girl or this beach.

That went viral; he drank beer overnight and slept. In the morning, there was a big noise, and the girl got very angry. When he saw that the girl was getting angry, I felt that the girl was feeling bad, so what did he do? Instead of that one girl, he put a photo of a beach.

Now he asked two girls to compare, and when he slept after drinking beer tonight, the next day it also went viral that people are comparing two girls. Then, he picked up two different photos from Harvard’s website. He started putting up different photos, and it went viral overnight.

Why did Mark apologize?

The face mash went viral so much that after that, his website crashed at Harvard, and he was called to the public. You have breached it; it is not a violation of internet privacy; it is a breach of computer security.

I should apologize. He came and apologized to the public. He apologized to all those girls whose photos he had used without permission. The board said to apologize to us, too.

He terminated him for six months and said, Yes, I am a criminal. He had 6 months time; his friends said, Okay, now there are 6 months; let’s go on a date, but this time don’t put the dog’s picture. We will plan something else; we will make a new product. You are a genius, man.

15minutes – hack a nightclub website?

I will take you to the club because he did not feel like meeting a girl. If he listens to her, it will be a waste of time, he says. I want to drink anyway; I will do it and use my brain. The music will keep playing in my business, and the nightclub sits right next to me.

I will bring two tickets within 15 minutes. I will give you a ticket, and then I will go without you. He hacked the website of that nightclub in 15 minutes and got two tickets mailed to his email, and within 15 minutes, he gave them to her. The girl gasped in astonishment.

It is not surprising that a person with weak intellect will hack the system. But Mark Zuckerberg has hacked the world, hacked the psychology of people, and hacked people. Harvard created this app. While living in it, he and his friends started working together.

How Facebook journey start?

It was to make girls like me. His purpose was to do something that people can connect with each other. So, the experience of face matching was good. But the problem was he was searching for people’s photos and putting them up.

Should we do something that people themselves put their photos in, people themselves put their details in, and people themselves put their personal information in? It originated there, and within time, he made it in no time.

He prepared it, and the students also got addicted to it. No, the job market wanted to take him outside Harvard. He took him outside Harvard to Yale. He took me to Stanford, Columbia, New York University, and Pennsylvania.

About Technology

All the kids from top colleges in the Ivy League, now when they started using it. The whole world started following him, and he said, “One day, his friend came to him and said, ‘What is the matter?

You are dating that girl, aren’t you? If you are not doing it, then I should take her with me. She is looking at me, smiling these days. Maag said, How do I know if she is alone or with me? No, she is smiling. I feel yes, she laughed. Maag said, “Friend, this is a good question about the girl.”

How do we know what the status is? He entered the same option: “Relationship status: I am single; I am engaged.” So there are different statuses, one by one, doing it, psychology, then technology.

Is Marks’s coding technique funny?

First psychology, then technology; it is saying that every morning, people wake up and ask me about another wife. She is from outside; we will give her this. Now, you sit and do the coding, but what is the rule?

You have to drink one shot of tequila after every 10 lines of code. You have to drink one shot of tequila, or if you are not able to code 10 lines, then you have to drink one shot of tequila every three minutes, one shot in a minute.

If you have to drink tequila, then even after drinking 20 shots of tequila, 10 shots of tequila, if he is able to code, even with such loud music, if he is able to build focus, this man is in a good environment, then how well will he code?

If he did it even in such a difficult situation, then they used to look for focus. They used to see whether he had focus or not, and they used to promote him somewhere, and if attention diverted, they used to throw him out or demote him. The ways of finding it were also different.

How CEO insulted ?

What happened one day, he was leaving his office, and while leaving the office. I saw a new boy join; he said, Hey, what’s up? What’s happening? He looked back and then came back and started coding. No, no, I am talking to you.

I am talking to you. He looked back and started coding. He didn’t turn and see the man sitting next to him. That CEO got insulted. We are saying, CEO, how are you? He didn’t reply; he got busy in his work.
The CEO got busy; some peon was asking him. He said, Sir, I also didn’t listen. A boy, our CEO, is talking to you now. He started explaining to him, and then he ignored him. He kept on doing his work and kept on writing his code.

Doubled salary of unresponsive

He looked at the screen from behind. He is a very serious man; he is busy coding. Mark went to his room and didn’t react to anything. The boy who was explaining to him didn’t react to him, and he didn’t react to the one who didn’t listen.

Then he just called the HR head and got two letters typed. The unresponsive employee received a doubled salary. And the person I am not talking to is blabbering in between. His salary was cut in half; Mark says that for me, he is the one.

The man is useful, whose focus is very sharp, and in this way he spread the culture in his organization; he himself was like this; he himself was like this that I built such a culture that he exemplified leadership, due to which people did it.

Marks words

I will give you an example of this: when, for the first time, there was a lot of energy going on there. And there were some antisocial elements also who were not just doing whiskey and beer. But we were also taking some other dirty drugs; the police raided there; it was a surprise raid. In the surprise raid, someone caught and slapped all of them.

They brought everyone out and turned on all the lights of the club, and the palace was separated there; everyone got scared. They reached there with handcuffs and guns, and everyone, well, Wahab caught everyone.

Party time

There was a commotion; a lot of people asked where their CEO was. Hey, where is Mark? Where is Mark now? Everyone should see Brother Mark; there is no joke here. Where is he? Where is he? He ran away, son; he ran away.
Yes, then everyone found out it was Mank. It was found out, Mark. He was just sitting in the office; he did not reach the party. The policeman reached the office. What are you doing?

He said I forgot to come to the party; actually, I was writing good code, and I was busy with it. The policeman was very impressed and said Your whole office team is celebrating, eating, drinking, cheating, and singing songs; you are still sitting here. He said, Actually, I forgot to come; I was busy with work.

Police arrested his staff ?

He expressed his admiration. I have caught your people; they have committed a crime, but I will punish them as per your wish.” Mark said, You can punish them as you wish, but my condition is that whatever you do, rate this video. I have created and uploaded Stage Forever. This was Marg Loko Bak.

Such a focused man is busy coding himself; such a focused man will increase the salary of the focused; such a focused man will also do such hiring interviews; such a focused man that he has 25 grade t-shirts, and he has 25 pairs of jeans and 5 sneakers; he wears the same and goes out.

He says, There is a reason I am here. I really want to clear my life so much from the clutter of what clothes to choose today. I am so focused on serving my community.
