Color-Blind? It’s OK.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, likes blue. His house is blue. The Facebook logo is also blue. Why? It’s because he is red-green color-blind.
If someone is color-blind, it means he sees colors differently from most people. It is hard for him to tell the difference between some colors. Most color-blind people are red-green color-blind. That is to say, it is hard for them to tell the difference between red and green. For them, the color they can see best is blue.
“Blue is the richest color for me — I can see all of blue,” Zuckerberg says. That is why he likes blue best. Though Zuckerberg is color-blind, it didn’t stop him from becoming a successful man. He had a dream and worked hard to make it come true. He is now very rich and famous all around the world.
You do not need to see colors to be a doctor, an actor or a sports star. Even if you’re color-blind, it’s OK. If you think big and are hard-working enough, you can become successful.
