Climb Everest? Help Mark Zuckerberg Decide 2015 Resolution
Each year as people settle for the usual suspects of New Year resolutions (exercise, saving money and eating better) Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg takes it upon himself to pursue a wildcard one.
Remember when he decided he was going to learn Mandarin Chinese? Or that he would only eat meat if he killed it himself?
Well, this year the King of New Year’s resolutions is asking his Facebook family for ideas of what his 2015 “personal challenge” should be.
Already we’ve seen suggestions like shut Facebook down one day a week, learn an instrument and much simpler concepts like, “make a baby.”
During a Facebook town hall on Dec. 11, Zuckerberg noted that he takes his New Year’s resolutions pretty seriously.
“My view is I spend so much time running this company that I want to do other things outside that, and my new year’s resolution is a good way to force myself to do that,” Zuckerberg said.

Before you throw something crazy out there, let’s take a look back at some of Zuckerberg’s resolutions over the past five years.
2009: See ya in 2010, signature gray t-shirt and hoodie. Zuckerberg vowed to wear a tie to work every day during 2009 to show that he was serious about Facebook’s growth.
2010: An obvious ode to his then girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, Zuckerberg said he was going to spend that year learning Mandarin Chinese. In October of 2014, Zuckerberg showed students at Tsinghua University in Beijing that he could actually talk the talk, by speaking to the audience in Chinese.
2011: Zuckerberg turned his back on the pre-wrapped meat from the grocery store and vowed to become a vegetarian or only eat meat if he killed it himself, according to Genevieve Grdina, a spokeswoman for Facebook.
2012: In order to become more connected with his employees and understand Facebook on the most basic level, Zuckerberg said he was going to practice coding every day during 2012.
2013: The globetrotting founder of Facebook vowed to have a face-to-face conversation with one new person outside of Facebook each day.
2014: Zuckerburg’s resolution was to write one note of thanks daily. During a Q&A session streamed live on Facebook in early December, Zuckerburg admitted it was harder than he thought.
2015: Who knows? You decide?
