session at IIT-Delhi in India,
Facebook addressed many
questions asked by the students. Stressing
on the importance of controversial
Internet.org, he said that connecting India
is very important and fulfilling the aim to
connect the world isn't possible if we
ignore India.
One of the questions that intrigued Mark
Zuckerberg was related to his early days,
when he started Facebook. A girl from
IIT-Delhi asked Mark to share his life
incidents and decisions he took during the
early days at Facebook that he regrets
now.
Instead of talking about one single
incident or mistake, Mark said that when
we build things and take new paths, we
commit mistakes. Similarly, during his
Facebook journey, he has committed lost
of mistakes.
"Mistakes are part of professional life. I
have probably made every possible
mistake possible. You learn with trial and
error. You shouldn't be afraid to make
mistakes," he said.
He added, "More than avoiding mistakes,
it's important that if you do good things, it
should inspire you to do many great
things."
He said that he was inspired by his own
hard work and the idea to make
something that will connect the world.
Mark further added that starting a startup
isn't an easy task and you should do it if
you are passionate about something and
changing the world. He advised the
students to avoid thinking about some big
company when they are taking the
decision to start a startup.
