Wedding season is in full effect. Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, married his girlfriend of nine years Saturday at his home in Palo Alto, Calif. Zuckerberg was named Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire.
Zuckerberg and 27-year-old Priscilla Chan met at Harvard and if I’m not mistaken she was depicted in The Social Network, a 2010 movie depicting the rise of Facebook.
Zuckerberg updated his Facebook relationship status on Saturday to “married”. :-P
I saw these on a client’s wall earlier this year and thought they were interesting. The suggestions were created by H. Jackson Brown, Jr., author and advisor on how to be successful in life and have happiness.
1. Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.
2. Work at something you enjoy and that’s worthy of your time and talent.
3. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
4. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
5. Be forgiving of yourself and others.
Many single men and women have lists of requirements for a potential mate. Not just your normal requirements like good health, the ability to hold conversation and a genuine interest in being with you – people have gone overboard with their lists.
I’ve overheard some women say their man must earn a certain amount of money, he must be college educated, must drive this or that and so on. Men are guilty too, with some of them wanting their women to be a certain skin tone or have a certain length of hair (minus the weave) or even possess a perfect boob to butt ratio.
The question then becomes: is your list hurting your chances of finding true love? The thought of a man rattling off his requirements of me would send me running in the opposite direction. That is just flat out unattractive. Yeah, you want to maintain standards, but are they reasonable? …
I can’t believe I’ve reached over 10,000 views after blogging for just three short months! I know those numbers are pitiful to some, but I never intended for this to be a popular, go-to site. I started it as a way to fuel my passion for writing.
So thank you to everyone who visits and reads my posts. I really do appreciate it! :-)
