CRAZY SHORT STORIES ABOUT ECCENTRIC ENTREPRENEURS
https://www.valuer.ai/blog/26-crazy-stories-on-eccentric-entrepreneurs
MARK ZUCKERBERG: “Entrepreneurship (предпринимательство) is
about creating change, not just companies” Mark Zuckerberg was just 20
years old when he founded Facebook in his college dorm (общежитии) with
his friends. Now he is one of the richest people in the world with a net worth
(собственным капиталом) of $71 billion. His eccentric behavior, hobbies and
casual “laundry day” look define (определяют) him. In fact, he wears the same
outfit every day (a grey t-shirt and jeans) because it helps him take attention
away from frivolous (легкомысленных) details, focusing instead on making
Facebook better. Some years ago he announced that he will only eat meat that
he kills himself. He stated in a Facebook post: "I had lunch today with the
Norman family on their 2,500-acre cattle (скот) ranch in South Dakota.
Several years ago at Facebook, our chefs cooked a whole pig. I remember
someone saying it would be delicious but she wished she didn’t have to see
where the meat came from. I’ve always thought we should be thankful and
understand where our food comes from–so for the next year I set a goal to only
eat meat that I killed and helped butcher (мяснику) myself”. By now he has
reportedly (якобы) killed a chicken, a lobster, a pig and a goat (козла). He
says that because he spends almost all his time on Facebook, he tries to
challenge himself every year with new activities, such as learning Chinese.
