Today's article is all about hard work and dedication, raising the idea that when a person is ready to do anything to achieve his goal, he becomes invincible, and it becomes impossible to stop him. Giving one such example, today we are praising one such person whose efforts were really commendable, who kept working on a project on which everyone had given up hope and no one believed that one day it would become such a big image-sharing platform. Yes, we are talking about Pinterest.
Pinterest is one such website that is used by almost all the youth generation today, a tool that saves your favorite content. But do you know how Pinterest actually got started? Pinterest founder Ben Silbermann was initially about to become a doctor. As coming from a family of doctors, he was also on his way to emerge as a doctor, which he had decided since childhood. But later, he dropped this idea as he realized that he was not particularly interested in the medical profession. Because after his graduation, he found the world of tech blogs to be more fascinating.
Later, he shifted to California and met Paul Sciarra, who later became the co-founder of Pinterest. As a child, Ben Silbermann had a strange habit of collecting stamps and insects. Since he loved collecting dried insects that he would pin on cardboard, and this habit inspired him to come up with the idea of Pinterest. He felt that with the help of this website people can pin their favorite things such as internet articles, videos, images, and other content all in one place. Silbermann started developing this portal in 2009 and in 2010 its beta version also started. And soon in 2011, this website emerged in the top 10 social networking sites and today Pinterest has become one of the most used websites across the world.
