Mark Zuckerberg And Transcendentalism

(Recently a research, reported by UN, announced that only 57% precent people in US are pretty happy in 2010. It is surprised that 43% people in America with affluent resources and comfortable environment are unhappy, if these conditions are not able to make people become happy, how could we become happy again?) There are some examples that we can learn from. The rested one is from modern society, the man who create Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is extremely satisfy and pleasant to his recent life. How? He is a man who knows his basement request, so he drop out from Harvard University, to create his own realm. After becoming successful, he is not disturbed by his fame, he donates 99% of his stock right, because he does not need theses. He even build up Potlatch, which used to exchanging information and ideas, only for sharing. Henry David Thoreau shared the same characterizations with him, he understood the truth to become happy, he gave up everything to live in the wood for simple life. Both of their actions belong to the same category of belief—transcendentalism.
In order to become happy, we have serval steps that needed to be followed. First of all, knowing thyself is the most important step that needed to be done. Living in modern life, we have learn how to conformist approach to the society to seek comfortable and stable, lately we ignored the essentially need of ourselves, finally weariness and upset are the feelings we can only get. “Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist.”
