Facebook co-founder and
CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to his social network early Tuesday to look back on
how his company came to be so successful.
Zuckerberg, who launched
the company when he was just a 19-year-old student at Harvard, said he never
imagined that Facebook would be what it is now. There was a need to connect the
world through one service, he said, and he and his company cared deeply about
doing that.
"When I reflect on
the last 10 years, one question I ask myself is: Why were we the ones to build
this? We were just students. We had way fewer resources than big companies. If
they had focused on this problem, they could have done it," Zuckerberg
wrote in a Facebook post. "The only answer I can think of is: We just
cared more."
But as proud of he is of
Facebook so far, Zuckerberg said he is more excited about the next 10 years.
Currently, social networks are about sharing moments. He said the future will
be about using these connections to solve the world's major problems.
Zuckerberg said it is
also the company's responsibility to help give Internet access to the
two-thirds of the world's people who remain unconnected.
"It's rare to be
able to touch so many people's lives, and I try to remind myself to make the
most of every day and have the biggest impact I can," he said.
