FORTUNE's 5/24/2010 article titled "The Temptation of Facebook" by David Kirkpatrick describes Mark Zuckerberg's difficult decision-making when faced with and tempted by the billions of dollars offered to him as a 26-year-old. It is evident from the article and from the consistent decision of Mark Zuckerberg to refuse Michael Wolf's (president of Viacom's MTV Networks) offer that fear could be overcome in order to provide grounds for inspiration if Zuckerberg could have feared that he couldn't succeed and make money too much early as he was getting cash offers of $800 million to as much as $1.5 billion from MTV's president, again and again, then he couldn't have succeeded in life .
