Jan Koum, founder of WhatsApp, born and raised in the
Ukraine from a relatively poor family. At the age of 16 years, he was desperate
to move to America, in pursuit of what we know as the "American
Dream".
At age 17, he could only eat from government rations. He
almost became a bum. Sleep roofed skies, paved ground. To survive, he worked as
a janitor supermarket. "Life is so bitter", Koum thought.
Her life when her mother was diagnosed with increasingly
steep cancer. They survive with only modest health benefits. Koum and studying
at San Jose University. But then he chose to drop out, because it prefers to
learn programming autodidact.
Because of his skills as a programmer, Jan. Koum hired as an
engineer at Yahoo!. He worked there for 10 years. In place of that, he was best
friends with Brian Acton.
Both make the WhatsApp application in 2009, after resigned
from Yahoo. Both had applied to the rising popularity of Facebook at the time,
but diitolak. Facebook may now deeply regret ever rejecting their application.
After the official WhatsApp Facebook purchased at a price of
19 billion dollars (about Rp 224 trillion) a few days ago, Jan Koum perform the
ritual touching. He came to the place where he used to be, at the age of 17
years, every morning to stand in line to receive food rations from the
government. She leaned her head against the wall where he used to stand in
line. Remembering the hard times, which even for a meal he did not have any
money .. slowly, tears melted. He never thought his company was bought by the
highest value.
He then recalled that his mother had died of cancer. His
mother is willing to sew a shirt for him to save. "No money, kiddo
...". January Koum stunned. He regrets never be able to preach the happy
news to his mother.
Sustenance came from the direction and shape of the
unexpected. Poor teenagers who used to ration it now so squillionaires. so
dream as high as possible, for the purpose of planning your life 10 years later
and do your best to achieve your goals in order to achieve
