Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most successful Millennials on the planet. By 23, he was already a millionaire and in the 10 years since Facebook was first established, he has become one of the richest individuals in the world.

At just 30 years old, Zuckerberg has a net worth of $35 billion. He can count more billions in his bank account than he can candles on his birthday cake.

Life is not all about the Benjamins; it’s about building something that changes the world for the better. When all is said and done, you can’t take money with you.

So find your gift and share it with the world. And as the creator of Facebook, Zuckerberg has certainly done that.

Age is ultimately irrelevant if a person is persistent enough in the pursuit of their dreams. Each Zuckerberg quote below is a testament to the fact that you are never too young to begin conquering the world:

1. “Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.”
2. “My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being ‘just’ a company means to me is building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.”
3. “This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people.”
4. “I know it sounds corny, but I’d love to improve people’s lives, especially socially… Making the world more open is not an overnight thing. It’s a 10- to 15-year thing.”
5. “The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”
