One day, we took my daughter to a Taylor Swift concert, and she said, “You know, Dad, I want to be like Taylor Swift when I grow up.” I replied, “But you can’t. That’s not possible.” She thought about it and said, “Well, when I grow up, I want people to want to be like August Chan Zuckerberg.” And I replied, “Great! Great!”
He then explained, to emphasize his anecdote, that the best advice he can give to anyone wanting to become an entrepreneur is to be original.
By encouraging his daughter to pursue her dreams and not to copy others, the Meta CEO shows that he values teaching values like creativity, ambition, and independence. This small event is a reminder that even the greatest personalities have idols and dreams they pursue.
