1、扎克伯格哈佛演讲稿子中英马克扎克伯格2017哈佛毕业演讲美国波士顿时间5月25日，哈佛大学举办了2017届学生毕业典礼。Facebook创始人马克扎克伯格Mark Zuckerberg回到母校，做了毕业典礼演讲。英文全文：President Faust, Board of Overseers, faculty, alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world,Im honored to be with you today

2、because, lets face it, you acplished something I never could. If I get through this speech, itll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations!Im an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because were technically in the same generation. We wa

3、lked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures. We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what Ive learned about our generation and the world were building toget

4、her.But first, the last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories.How many of you remember exactly what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his reaction was to vi

5、deo me opening the email. That could have been a really sad video. I swear getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for.What about your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was puter Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didnt re

6、alize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front. I couldnt figure out why no one would talk to me - except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, Class of 2017, is

7、 why you should be nice to people.But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to see me. Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away party. As luc

8、k would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: Im going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.Actually, any of you graduating can use t

9、hat line.I didnt end up getting kicked out - I did that to myself. Priscilla and I started dating. And, you know, that movie made it seem like Facemash was so important to creating Facebook. It wasnt. But without Facemash I wouldnt have met Priscilla, and shes the most important person in my life, s

10、o you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here.Weve all started lifelong friendships here, and some of us even families. Thats why Im so grateful to this place. Thanks, Harvard.Today I want to talk about purpose. But Im not here to give you the standard mencement about findi

11、ng your purpose. Were millennials. Well try to do that instinctively. Instead, Im here to tell you finding your purpose isnt enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.One of my favorite stories is when John F Kennedy visited the NASA space cen

12、ter, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing. The janitor responded: Mr. President, Im helping put a man on the moon.Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for

13、. Purpose is what creates true happiness.Youre graduating at a time when this is especially important. When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your munity. But today, technology and automation are eliminating many jobs. Membership in munities is declining. Many

14、people feel disconnected and depressed, and are trying to fill a void.As Ive traveled around, Ive sat with children in juvenile detention and opioid addicts, who told me their lives could have turned out differently if they just had something to do, an after school program or somewhere to go. Ive me

15、t factory workers who know their old jobs arent ing back and are trying to find their place.To keep our society moving forward, we have a generational challenge - to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.I remember the night I launched Facebook from my little dorm in Kirkla

16、nd House. I went to Nochs with my friend KX. I remember telling him I was excited to connect the Harvard munity, but one day someone would connect the whole world.The thing is, it never even occurred to me that someone might be us. We were just college kids. We didnt know anything about that. There

17、were all these big technology panies with resources. I just assumed one of them would do it. But this idea was so clear to us - that all people want to connect. So we just kept moving forward, day by day.I know a lot of you will have your own stories just like this. A change in the world that seems

18、so clear youre sure someone else will do it. But they wont. You will.But its not enough to have purpose yourself. You have to create a sense of purpose for others.I found that out the hard way. You see, my hope was never to build a pany, but to make an impact. And as all these people started joining

19、 us, I just assumed thats what they cared about too, so I never explained what I hoped wed build.A couple years in, some big panies wanted to buy us. I didnt want to sell. I wanted to see if we could connect more people. We were building the first News Feed, and I thought if we could just launch thi

20、s, it could change how we learn about the world.Nearly everyone else wanted to sell. Without a sense of higher purpose, this was the startup dream e true. It tore our pany apart. After one tense argument, an advisor told me if I didnt agree to sell, I would regret the decision for the rest of my lif

21、e. Relationships were so frayed that within a year or so every single person on the management team was gone.That was my hardest time leading Facebook. I believed in what we were doing, but I felt alone. And worse, it was my fault. I wondered if I was just wrong, an imposter, a 22 year-old kid who h

22、ad no idea how the world worked.Now, years later, I understand that *is* how things work with no sense of higher purpose. Its up to us to create it so we can all keep moving forward together.Today I want to talk about three ways to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose: by taking on b

23、ig meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue purpose, and by building munity across the world.First, lets take on big meaningful projects.Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and

24、trucks. But we have the potential to do so much more together.Every generation has its defining works. More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon including that janitor. Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio. Millions of more people built the Hoover d

25、am and other great projects.These projects didnt just provide purpose for the people doing those jobs, they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things.Now its our turn to do great things. I know, youre probably thinking: I dont know how to build a dam, or get a million peo

26、ple involved in anything.But let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin. Ideas dont e out fully formed. They only bee clear as you work on them. You just have to get started.If I had to understand everything about connecting people before I began, I never would have started Facebook.Movie

27、s and pop culture get this all wrong. The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie. It makes us feel inadequate since we havent had ours. It prevents people with seeds of good ideas from getting started. Oh, you know what else movies get wrong about innovation? No one writes math formulas o

28、n glass. Thats not a thing.Its good to be idealistic. But be prepared to be misunderstood. Anyone working on a big vision will get called crazy, even if you end up right. Anyone working on a plex problem will get blamed for not fully understanding the challenge, even though its impossible to know ev

29、erything upfront. Anyone taking initiative will get criticized for moving too fast, because theres always someone who wants to slow you down.In our society, we often dont do big things because were so afraid of making mistakes that we ignore all the things wrong today if we do nothing. The reality i

30、s, anything we do will have issues in the future. But that cant keep us from starting.So what are we waiting for? Its time for our generation-defining public works. How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved manufacturing and installing sol

31、ar panels? How about curing all diseases and asking volunteers to track their health data and share their genomes? Today we spend 50x more treating people who are sick than we spend finding cures so people dont get sick in the first place. That makes no sense. We can fix this. How about modernizing

32、democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyone can learn?These achievements are within our reach. Lets do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role. Lets do big things, not only to create progress, but to create purpose.So taking on big meaningful projects is the first thing we can do to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.The second is redefining equality to give everyone the freedom they need to pursue purpose.Many of our parents had stable jobs throughout their ca
