Facebook:
Facebook is a social networking website intended to connect friends, family, and business associates. It is the largest of the networking sites, with the runner up being MySpace. It began as a college networking website and has expanded to include anyone and everyone.
Facebook was founded by 2004 by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg and originally called thefacebook. It was quickly successful on campus and expanded beyond Harvard into other Ivy League schools. With the phenomenon growing in popularity, Zuckerberg enlisted two other students, Duston Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, to assist. Within months, thefacebook became a nationwide college networking website. 23
Zuckerberg and Moskovitz left Harvard to run thefacebook full time shortly after taking the site national. In August of 2005, thefacebook was renamed Facebook, and the domain was purchased for a reported $200,000 US Dollars (USD). At that time, it was only available to schools, universities, organizations, and companies within English speaking countries, but has since expanded to include anyone.Facebook is a company that is worth a few billion dollars. Facebook is considered by many to be the biggest thing in today's modern world. This huge company was built off of an idea though. A small idea by one or even a few Harvard students was built into this multi-billion dollar company. Facebook is a company that shows the true potential of the simplest idea. Something so simple can change and go through an alchemical process and become worth so much just a few years later. 24

When starting a business...
Every business that has ever been created has began as a small idea or a microscopic company that someone built upon hoping to make money off of and hoping to turn their small ambition into something great.
This idea of starting a business can relate to me personally because my father began an architectural/engineering firm of his own in 2003 and puts in countless hours trying to make his business bigger. His life story has been alchemy to be honest. After receiving his high school diploma in Saudi Arabia in 1983, the next day my father came to New York to begin a professional life for himself. He began with nothing but the bare minimum amount of education one could have.
After many years of hard work, my dad achieved his masters degree in Civil engineering and worked in many government and private branches until one day he decided to begin his own business.
Today Nasir Jamal Khanzada owns HSA and NJK CONSULTING where he does various architectural and engineering based jobs for clients from various areas throughout New York State.
My dad began with nothing but the bare minimum level of an education and kept building on it until after an alchemical process, he has reached a level where he was not even near when he began his alchemical journey.
