More than 30 years ago, Bill Gates visited an elementary school, and after looking at the children, Gates promised to leave: "I will come back in the future, and if I see a student with a clean desk, I will reward him with a computer." ”

At first, the students scrambled to clean and tidy their desks every day, hoping to be the lucky ones. As time passed, more and more students began to relax and laze, and finally simply stopped tidying up. There was only one boy who still cleaned up his desk every day.

The boy continued this habit until more than twenty years later, when he met Bill Gates again. But Gates didn't come to give him a computer, he wanted to use the 2$400 million to buy his company6% of the shares.

This boy was the future founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.

Looking back on all this, Zuckerberg admits that he developed the habit of cleaning the desktop as a child, keeping the office environment clean and tidy, so that he can enter the work state at any time.

In life, Zuckerberg also maintained strict self-management and insisted on running a mile every day, exactly.

Thanks to these insignificant good habits, Zuckerberg was able to maintain his vigorous energy and make the company the best in the industry.
