He was dazed and confused, but now he is high-spirited and vigorous. Mark Zuckerberg, the 28-year-old CEO of the Facebook, proved a variety of possibilities in the Internet era by his own way. How did he do this? What made Zuckerberg so successful? First, he was full of confidence. In Chung (2012)’s article, Mark tried to explain his landlord Judy Fusco that what the Facebook is. “He said they were going to build a network that would change the world.” At that time, Judy was impressed by Mark’s confidence.
