The Secret of Mark Zuckerberg's Success

My cognitive fluency gave that title but while reading last year's review of the movie Social network, Zuckerberg's cognitive advantage became pretty obvious:  

"Zuckerberg once told a mutual friend that he was not, and would never be, the best programmer around but that he had a knack for coming up with ideas that fit the moment and could carry. Which is to say that, in a class of some 1,600 students largely trying to follow dutifully the paths of alumni who'd grown into great men and women, Zuckerberg was one of a few among us actually thinking like an intellectually mature, creative person in his moment."
