　　扎克伯格毕业 于美国顶级投止 高中菲利普斯埃克塞特学院 ，毕业 后被哈佛登科 ，中途退学专注Facebook 。这次他回到母校，分享改变天下 必要 任务 感和心系他人的目标 感 ，以及具体 怎样 到达 目标 （purpose）。

　　这篇演讲感动 人的一个因素是扎克伯格的“人与人之间的毗连 ”。

　　引用沈丹玺（哈佛大学教诲 学院国际教诲 政策硕士）在公众号3ESPACE上所说：“每个人的生存 都被大期间 所裹挟 。贫苦 ，划一 ，恭敬 ，多元，不是为“他者 ”所创造的代价 ，而是与我们不敢出柜的上铺兄弟 、走不出烦闷 阴影的同桌好友 、被真真假假医疗信息所狐疑 的姑姑母舅 、在雾霾中出生即患上哮喘的小外甥女等等。人与人的毗连 ，人与人运气 的拘束 ，比我们以为的要更猛烈 。正由于 云云 ，让天下 变得更精美 、更公平、更和睦 ，才与我们每个人痛痒相干 。”

　　扎克伯格提到：“在近来 一项观察 中 ，天下 各地的 80 后 90 后被要求选择本身 认同的身份，最盛行 的答案不是国籍，宗教或种族 ，它是“天下 公民”。这是一个标记 性的变乱 。每一代人都扩大了我们认同的“本身 人 ”。对我们来说，它如今 涵盖了整个天下 。”

　　这天下 ，大概 真的可以由于 毗连 变得不一样。

　　演讲全文：

Faust 校长 ，校监委员会成员们，老师、校友 、朋侪 、自大 的家长们、管理委员会的委员们，以及全天下 最巨大 学校的毕业 生们！

本日 和你们待在一起我备感荣幸 ，由于 说实话 ，你们完成了一个我永久 无法办到的成绩 。等我做完这个演讲，这将是我第一次在哈佛大学完成的某件事 。2017 的毕业 班同砚 ，庆贺 你们！

我本不大概 是站在这里发演出 讲的人 ，不但 仅由于 我是一名辍门生 ，还由于 着实 我们是同一代人。我作为门生 走在这个校园里，也就是不外 十年前的事变 。我们学习过同样的知识 ，同样在 EC10 讲堂 上补觉 。只管 我们通过差别 的方式来到这里，尤其那些来自 Quad 园区的同砚 （The Quad 从前 是 Radcliffe College 的女生宿舍。Radcliffe 从 1879 至 1977 年是哈佛的女性学院，1977 年汇入哈佛）；但本日 我想和你们分享的是 ，我对我们这代人的一些想法，和我们正在协力 建立 的这个天下 。

起首 ，已往 几天令我想起很多 精美 的回想 。

你们当中多少人还确牢记 得 ，当初收到哈佛的登科 关照 邮件时在做什么？当时 我正在玩《文明》游戏，然后我跑下楼，找到我的父亲 ，不外 他的反应很奇怪 ，居然开始拍摄我打开邮件的过程。谁人 视频大概 看着挺惆怅 吧。但我发誓，被哈佛登科 ，是最令我父母为我感到得意 的事变 。

　　扎克伯格：当年被哈佛登科 的那一刻

你们还记得在哈佛上的第一节课吗？我上的是盘算 机 121 ，Harry Lewis 老师超等 棒。当时 我要迟到了，于是抓了件T恤就套在身上，结果 直到下战书 才发现我把它前后里外都穿反了 ，商标都露在前胸。然后我还烦闷 怎么没人理我，除了一个人，KX Jin ，他没有在意这些。之后，我们开始组队办理 困难 ，如今 他负责 Facebook 很大一块业务 。这阐明 什么？2017 的毕业 生们 ，这阐明 为什么你们应该对别人和睦 一些。

但是我在哈佛最精美 的回想 ，是我遇见了 Priscilla（扎克伯格老婆 ）。当时 我刚上线一个恶作剧网站 Facemash，然后管理委员会表现 “要见我” ，全部 人都以为 我要被赶走了 。我爸妈来帮我打包行李；我朋侪 帮我搞了个告别派对。荣幸 的事变 就在这里，Priscilla 和她朋侪 一起，来到了这个 Party。我们在 Pfoho Belltower 的卫生间外列队 时遇见了，接下来发生了一件永生难忘的浪漫变乱 ——我说：“我三天后就要被赶出学校了 ，以是 我们必要 尽快开始约会 。 ”

　　究竟 上，你们全部 人都可以利用 这个套路。

我没有被开除——我想办法留下来了。Priscilla 开始和我约会 。你们知道，那部影戏 （《交际 网络》）说的 Facemash 对创造 Facebook 好像 很紧张 似的。并非云云 。但是没有 Facemash 的话 ，我遇不到 Priscilla 。她是我生掷中 最紧张 的人，以是 从这个角度说，Facemash 是我人生中做出的最紧张 的一样东西。

在这里 ，我们开始交友 一生的好友 ，乃至 有的以后会成为家人。这是为什么我对这里云云 感激的缘故起因 。谢谢你，哈佛！

本日 我想谈谈目标 （Purpose） ，但是我不是来给你们做一些程序化的宣言，告诉你们怎样 发现目标 的 。我们是千禧一代，我们会出于直觉和本能发现目标 。相反地 ，我站在这里要说的，是仅仅发现目标 还不敷 。我们这代人面对 的挑衅 ，是创造一个大家 都能有任务 感的天下 。

我最喜好 的一个故事，是约翰·F·肯尼迪访问美国宇航局太空中心 时 ，看到了一个拿着扫帚的看门人。于是他走已往 问这人在干什么。看门人答复 说：“总统老师 ，我正在资助 把一个人送往月球 。”

目标 是我们意识到我们是比本身 更大的东西的一部分 ，是我们被必要 的、我们必要 更为之积极 的东西。目标 能创造真正的快乐。

本日 ，你在这个特别 紧张 的时候 毕业 了 。当你父母毕业 的时间 ，目标 很洪流 平 上来自工作 、教会、社群。但是本日 ，技能 和主动 化正在代替 很多 工作 ，社区成员人数也在降落 。很多 人感到沮丧，感到本身 被隔离开 来了，同时也在积极 弥补 空缺 。

当我走过很多 地方的时间 ，我曾和很多 被拘留的、阿片类药物成瘾的孩子们坐在一起，他们告诉我假如 他们有事可做，参加 课后活动 大概 有地方可去 ，他们的人生会变得很不一样。我也碰到 过很多 工厂的工人，他们没法再从事之前从事的工作了，以是 试图找到新的能做的事。

为了保持社会的进步，我们身负挑衅 ——不但 仅是创造新的工作 ，还要创造新的目标 。

我还记得在 Kirkland House 的小宿舍中创造 Facebook 的那晚 。我和我的朋侪 KX 去了 Noch。我记得我告诉他，我很开心能把哈佛的社群毗连 起来，但是有一天 ，有人会把整个天下 都毗连 起来。

我完全没有想到这个人会是我们 。当时 我们还只是大门生 ，对此还并不相识 。全部 这些大型技能 公司都有资源，我只是以为 此中 一个大公司会做到这一点。但是 ，我对这个想法很确信——全部 人都想和相互 毗连 ，以是 我们不停 在朝这个方向积极 进步 。

我知道你们中的很多 人也会有雷同 的故事。你以为 很多 人都在改变天下 ，然而他们并没有 ，而你会。

但是，光有目标 是不敷 的 。你必须拥故意 系他人的目标 。

意识到这点非常难。我从来没想过创造一个公司，我想要的是创造影响力 。越来越多的人参加 我们 ，我假设他们跟我关心的是同样的东西，以是 我从来没表明 过我到底盼望 创建 什么。

几年来，一些大公司想要收购我们。我拒绝了。我想知道是否能毗连 更多的人 。我们正在创建 第一个消息 流（News Feed），当时 我想 ，假如 我们能做到这一点，它大概 会改变我们学习天下 的方式。

险些 全部 人都想让我把公司卖了。没有更高远的任务 感，这个创业公司不大概 空想 成真 。颠末 剧烈 的争论后 ，一位顾问跟我说，假如 我差别 意出售，我会悔恨 一辈子。一年左右的时间里 ，当时 的管理层险些 都走了。

这是我在 Facebook 时最艰巨 的时候 。我信托 我们在做的东西，但是我也感到孤独。更糟糕的是，当时 我以为 这是我的错。我在想是不是我错了 ，一个 22 岁的小孩，都不知道天下 是怎么运转的 。

多年以后的本日 ，我明白 了那是由于 没有更高的目标 。是否创造它取决于我们 ，以是 我们能一起进步 。

本日 我想谈谈创造一个每个人都有任务 感的天下 的三种方法：

一起做故意 义的项目；通过重新界说 划一 ，使每个人都有寻求 目标 的自由；在全天下 创建 社群 。

起首 ，让我们来说说做故意 义的项目。

我们这一代将不得不面对 数千万 的工作被呆板 代替 的环境 ，比如 主动 驾驶。但我们尚有 很多 事能一起去完成。

每一代都有属于本身 一代的作品 。比如 有高出 30 万人一起积极 ，让人类登上了月球——包罗 谁人 看门的人；数百万志愿者为天下 各地的小儿麻痹症患者打疫苗；数以百万计的人为创建 胡佛水坝和其他巨大 的项目贡献了本身 的力气 。

做这些项目标 任务 ，并不但 仅是为人们提供工作，而是让我们整个国家感到自大 ，我们可以做一些巨大 的事变 。

如今 轮到我们来做一些巨大 的事了 。我知道，你大概 会想：我不知道怎样 制作 大坝，大概 怎样 让一百万人参加 到任何事变 中来。

但我想告诉你一个机密 ：没有人从一开始就知道怎样 做 ，想法并不会在最初就完全成型。只有当你工作时才变得渐渐 清楚 ，你只必要 做的就是开始 。

假如 我必须在开始（Facebook）之前就相识 清楚 “怎样 毗连 人”的想法，那么我就不会启动 Facebook 了。

大概 影戏 和盛行 文化会让人以为 被误导 ，那些想法会出如今 一些灵光一闪的时候 ，这着实 是一个伤害 的谎话 。这让我们感到不满意 ，由于 我们没有了我们本身 的（举措 ） ，它会制止 那些拥有好想法的人去开始 。对了，你知道影戏 当中尚有 什么是对创新的误解吗？那就是，没有人会在玻璃上写数学公式。那不是什么事。

着实 ，抱负 主义是功德 ，但你要做好被误解的预备 。任作甚 了更大愿景工作的人大概 会被称为疯子，纵然 你终极 得到 乐成 。任作甚 了复杂题目 工作的人都会由于 不能全面相识 挑衅 而被责怪 ，纵然 你不大概 事先相识 统统 。任何捉住 主动 权先行一步的人都会由于 步子太快而受到品评 ，由于 总是有人想让你慢下来。

在我们的社会里，我们并不常常 做一些巨大 的事，由于 我们畏惧 犯错 。假如 我们什么都不做 ，我们就忽视了本日 全部 的错误。究竟 上，我们所做的任何事变 将来 都会有题目 。但这不能制止 我们开始 。

那我们还在等什么呢？ 如今 轮到我们这一代人界说 “公共事件 ”的时间 了。

在地球摧毁之前，怎样 制止 气候 变革 ？怎样 让数百万人乐意 参加 制造和安装太阳能电池板？ 怎样 治愈全部 疾病？怎样 要求志愿者跟踪他们的康健 数据和分享他们的基因组？ 本日 ，我们大概 要花上 50 倍的代价 去治疗病人，而不是找到一种治疗方法让人类第一时间无法染上疾病。

这些成绩 在我们本领 范围内是可以实现的，让我们让每个人在我们社会中发挥其应有的作用来做这些事变 。让我们做一些巨大 的事变 ，不但 要创造进步，而是要创造 purpose。

以是 我们可以做的第一件事就是，创造一个每人都拥有任务 感的天下 。

第二件事是，重新界说 划一 ，让每个人都有寻求 目标 的自由 。

我们这一代人的父母，很多 在整个职业生活 中都有稳固 的工作。但是如今 ，我们这一代人都是企业家 ，无论我们是刚开始一些项目还是 在探求 、或是已经扮演 着这个脚色 。这都很棒，我们的创业文化恰好 是导致我们创造云云 多进步的缘故起因 。

如今 ，只要在实行 很多 新想法的时间 ，创业文化就会发达 发展。 Facebook 并不是我做的第一件事，我还做过游戏、谈天 体系 、学习工具和音乐播放器。我并不孤独， 由于 JK罗琳在出书 《哈利波特》之前被拒绝了 12 次 ，纵然 碧昂丝也不得不写了数百首歌曲，才有了本日 Halo 这首歌得到 的光环。最大的乐成 来自于我们享有失败的自由 。

然而，本日 ，财产 不均会让每个人都受到伤害。当你没有机遇 把你的想法变成 一个汗青 性的企业的时间 ，我们就输了。如今 ，我们的社会在通往乐成 的路上有过多的指引，但我们做的不敷 ，并不是每个人都可以或许 轻易 得分（得到 乐成 ） 。

面对 实际 吧，我们的社会体系是有题目 的，当我可以或许 离开 哈佛并在 10 年内赚取数十亿美元的时间 ，尚有 数百万门生 无法归还 贷款，更不消 说开始创业。

看，我认识 很多 企业家 ，然而我并不知道是否有一个人是由于 没有充足 的钱而放弃创业。但是我知道很多 人不敢寻求 空想 ，由于 一旦他们失败，并没有很好的缓冲（承托住） 。

我们都知道 ，想要乐成 ，光凭一个好想法，大概 一个好的工作态度 ，是远远不敷 的。荣幸 也是乐成 很紧张 的因素。假如 当初，我无法花时间编写代码，而是必须勤工俭学补贴家用，假如 我无法遭受 “万一 Facebook 不能乐成 ”这一假设 ，我本日 都不会站在这里 。诚实 地想一想，我们都知道，（可以或许 有本日 ）本身 是多么的荣幸 。

我们应该有一个不但 仅依附 GDP 如许 的经济指标来衡量 进步的社会 ，而是一个每个人都可以找到本身 的存在意义和脚色 的社会。我们应该探索像“广泛 根本 收入”如许 的观念，让每一个人都有机遇 实行 新事物 。每个人都有大概 换很多 工作，这就要求我们得创建 大家 都负担得起的儿童托管保育机构和不束缚 于就职单位 的医疗保健 ，如许 让人可以无负担地去上班。大家 都会犯错，以是 我们必要 一个更少污蔑与束缚的社会。随着技能 的不绝 变革 ，我们要更多地关注继承 教诲 ，活到老，学到老。

是的，赋予每个人寻求 目标 的自由 ，这并不是免费的 。像我如许 的人应当为此付费。在你们之中，很多 人都会做得很好，固然 ，你们也有任务 去做好。

这也是为什么当初 Priscilla 和我启动了 Chan Zuckerberg Initiative ，并答应 要我们的财产 去促进机遇 划一 。这些是我们这代人的代价 。”要不要如许 做 ”从来都不是题目 ，唯一的题目 是“什么时间 去做”。

千禧一代已经是汗青 上最慈善的一代人之一了 。千禧一代的美国人在一年中，均匀 四个人里就有三个人会捐款 ，均匀 十个人里就有七个人会为慈善募捐。

但这也不但 限于款子 。你也可以奉献你的时间 。我在这里向你包管 ，假如 你可以每一两周要花一个小时（去奉献和资助 ），就会有一个人因此得到 资助 ，乃至 实现他们从前 不大概 实现的目标 。

大概 你以为 这太花时间了。我曾经也这么以为 。当 Priscilla 毕业 于哈佛后，她成了一名老师，在她和我一起投身教诲 行业之前 ，她告诉我，我必要 去传授 一门课。我抱怨 道：“好吧，但是 我很忙啊 ，我得策划 Facebook 啊。”但是她对峙 让我去教课，以是 我就在本地 的男童女童俱乐部传授 了一门关于创业精力 的中学课程。

我教他们在产物 开辟 和市场营销中应当汲取 的教导 ，从他们身上，我学到了当本身 的种族受到社会关注 、或有家庭成员身陷囹圄时的感受 。 我向他们分享了我读书时的故事 ，他们分享了对走进大学深造的渴望。 五年来，我每个月都会和这些孩子一起共进一次晚餐。此中 有一个孩子，为我与 Priscilla 的第一个宝宝在出生前 ，举行 了宝宝洗礼派对 。来岁 ，这些孩子们都要上大学了，是的 ，他们每一个都要上大学了，而且他们都将得意 地成为本身 家属 里第一名大门生 。

花一点时间，去资助 其他人 ，这是我们每个人都可以做到的。让我们通过此举，让每个人都有实现人生目标 的自由——不但 由于 如许 做是精确 的，更是由于 当人们可以把空想 变为巨大 的现及时 ，我们每个人都会变得更好 。

“目标 ”不但 来自于工作。去实现“让每个人都有活的有目标 ”的第三种方式是创建 社区。 而当我们这一代人说“每个人”的时间 ，我们指的是——天下 上的每一个人 。

来做一个观察 ：你们有多少来自美国之外其他国家？你们中有多少人是他们的朋侪 ？看到了吗？我们出生于一个互联的天下 。

在近来 一项观察 中，天下 各地的 80 后 90 后被要求选择本身 认同的身份，最盛行 的答案不是国籍 ，宗教或种族，它是“天下 公民 ”。

这是一个标记 性的变乱 。每一代人都扩大了我们认同的“本身 人”。对我们来说，它如今 涵盖了整个天下 。

回顾 汗青 ，汗青 的车轮总是青睐于更大基数的团体 - 从部落到都会 到国家 - 来实现我们不能单独做的事变 。

我们以为 如今 最大的机遇 是环球 性的 - 我们可以成为闭幕 贫苦 和竣事 疾病的一代人 。但同时我们也意识到我们面对 的巨大挑衅 也必要 环球 性的协作 - 没有一个国家可以单独应对气候 变革 或防备 环球 大瘟疫。要想取得进步不能靠单个都会 或国家，更是要连合 环球 社会。

（哈佛校友韩璧丞在现场发来的照片）

但我们生存 在一个不稳固 的时期 。有人被环球 化所扬弃 。假如 我们对我们本身 的生存 感到困扰，那么很难在别的地方照顾别人 ，由于 有内涵 的压力。

这不会在连合 国决定 。这将在每个地区 发生，当我们充足 的感觉到我们本身 的任务 和稳固 感，我们可以开始关心其他人。最好的办法是开始创建 本地 的社群。

我们都从我们的社群中获得意 义 。无论我们的社群是邻里社区还是 活动 小组 ，教堂或音乐团体。他们给我们归属感，我们属于的群体的一部分 ，我们不是一个人;社群给了我们扩大我们的视野的力气 。

这就是为什么这几十年来各类团体的会员人数降落 了四分之一的究竟 是多么必要 引起留意 ！如今 很多 人都必要 在别的地方探求 生存 的任务 。

但是 ，我知道我们可以重修 我们的社群，由于 你们中很多 人已经开始举措 了。

我碰到 了本日 毕业 的 Agnes Igoye，（对现场说，你在那边 ，Agnes？）她在乌干达的辩论 地区 度过童年时期，如今 她在练习 数以千计的执法职员 来保持社区的安全。

我碰到 Kayla 和 Niha，也是本日 毕业 ，他们发起了一个非营利构造 ，将患有疾病的人与社区内乐意 资助 他们的人接洽 起来。我碰到 了 David Razu Aznar，本日 从肯尼迪政治学院毕业 （对现场说 ，David站起来） 。 他是前墨西哥市的议员，他乐成 领导 了一场活动 ，使墨西哥城成为第一个通过婚姻划一 法案的拉丁美洲都会 ，乃至 比旧金山还早。

这也是我本身 的故事。一个宅在宿舍的门生 ，一次毗连 了一个社群，然后始终维护它 ，直到有一天我们毗连 了整个天下 。

改变源于身边。乃至 环球 性的改变也是源自微小的事物 —— 和我们一样的人。在我们这一代，我们的积极 可否 毗连 更多人和事，可否 把握我们最大的机会 ，都归结于这一点 —— 你是否有本领 搭建社群而且 创造一个全部 人都能有任务 感的天下 。

2017届的校友们 ，你们毕业 于一个无比需求任务 感的天下 。而怎么创造它由你本身 决定。

那么如今 ，你大概 在想：我真的能做到吗？

还记得我前面提到的我在 Boys and Girls Club 传授 的课程吗？有一天下课后，我正和他们评论 大学 ，此中 一个顶尖的门生 举手说道他并不确定他是否可以上大学由于 他是没有身份的 。他完全不知道，大学会不会答应 他入学！

客岁 ，在他过生日的时间 ，我带他去吃早餐。我想送给他一个礼品 ，以是 我问他想要什么，然后他开始评论 他看到的正在挣扎于进入大学的门生 ，“你知道的，我着实 就想要一本关于社会公理 的书。”

我被震撼了 。这本该是个完全可以愤世嫉俗的年轻人。他不知道他所称之为故乡 的，他唯一知道的国家 ，是否会拒绝他上大学的空想 。但他本身 并不以为 遗憾。他乃至 都没有想到本身 。他有更弘大 的任务 感，他想要带着各人 一起进步 。

由于如今 所处的环境 ，我并不能说出他的名字，由于 我不想把他置身于伤害 之中。但是 ，假如 一个不知道本身 将来 会怎样的高中生都能为推动天下 做出本身 的贡献，那么我们也理应对这个天下 做出我们的贡献 。

在你们末了 一次走出这些校门之前，当我们坐在这怀念 教堂前的时间 ，我想起了一段祷告 ，Mi Shebeirach，每当我面对 挑衅 时我都会说的 ，每当我把女儿放进婴儿床里想象着她的将来 都会唱到的：

"May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us *find the courage* to make our lives a blessing."我盼望 你们也可以找到属于本身 的勇气，使你们的生命成为一个祝福。

恭喜你们，2017届的同砚 们！祝你们好运！

英文演讲全文：

　　President Faust, Board of Overseers, faculty, alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world,

　　I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could. If I get through thisspeech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations!

　　I'm an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation. We walked 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 I've learned about our generation and the world we're building together.

　　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 video 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 Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didn't realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front. I couldn't figure out why no one would talk to me -- except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended updoing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. Andthat, Class of 2017, is 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. A sluck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in linefor the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: "I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly."

　　Actually, any of you graduating can use that line.

　　I didn't 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 wasn't. But without Facemash I wouldn't have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here.

　　We've all started life long friendships here, and some of us even families. That's why I'm so grateful to this place.Thanks, Harvard.

　　Today I want to talk about purpose. But I'mnot here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose.We're millennials. We'll try to do that instinctively. Instead, I'm here totell you finding your purpose isn't enough. The challenge for our generation iscreating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

　　One of my favorite stories is when John FKennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and hewalked over and asked what he was doing. The janitor responded: "Mr.President, I'm helping put a man on the moon".

　　Purpose is that sense that we are part ofsomething bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for. Purpose is what creates true happiness.

　　You're graduating at a time when this isespecially important. When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your community. But today, technology and automation areeliminating many jobs. Membership in communities is declining. Many people feel disconnected and depressed, and are trying to fill a void.

　　As I've traveled around, I've 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. I've met factory workers who know their old jobs aren't coming back and are trying to find their place.

　　To keep our society moving forward, we havea generational challenge -- to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.

　　I remember the night I launched Facebookfrom my little dorm in Kirkland House. I went to Noch's with my friend KX. I remember telling him I was excited to connect the Harvard community, 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 didn't know anything about that. There were all these big technology companies 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 ownstories just like this. A change in the world that seems so clear you're suresomeone else will do it. But they won't. You will.

　　But it's 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 company, but to make an impact. And as all these people started joining us, I just assumed that's what they cared about too, so I never explained what I hoped we'd build.

　　A couple years in, some big companies wanted to buy us. I didn't 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 this, 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 come true. It tore our company apart. After one tense argument, an advisor told me if I didn't agree to sell, I would regret the decision for the rest of my life.Relationships were so frayed that within a year or so every single person onthe 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 had no idea how the world worked.

　　Now, years later, I understand that *is* how things work with no sense of higher purpose. It's up to us to create it sowe can all keep moving forward together.

　　Today I want to talk about three ways tocreate a world where everyone has a sense of purpose: by taking on bigmeaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has thefreedom to pursue purpose, and by building community across the world.

　　First, let's 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 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 thatjanitor. Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio. Millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects.

　　These projects didn't just provide purposefor the people doing those jobs, they gave our whole country a sense of pridethat we could do great things.

　　Now it's our turn to do great things. Iknow, you're probably thinking: I don't know how to build a dam, or get amillion people involved in anything.

　　But let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin. Ideas don't come out fully formed. They only become clear asyou 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.

　　Movies and pop culture get this all wrong.The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie. It makes us feel in adequate since we haven't 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 on glass. That's not a thing.

　　It's good to be idealistic. But be prepared to be misunderstood. Anyone working on a big vision will get called crazy, evenif you end up right. Anyone working on a complex problem will get blamed fornot fully understanding the challenge, even though it's impossible to know everything upfront. Anyone taking initiative will get criticized for moving toofast, because there's always someone who wants to slow you down.

　　In our society, we often don't do bigthings because we're so afraid of making mistakes that we ignore all the things wrong today if we do nothing. The reality is, anything we do will have issues in the future. But that can't keep us from starting.

　　So what are we waiting for? It's time forour generation-defining public works. How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved manufacturing and installing solar 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 don’t get sick in the first place. That makes no sense. We can fix this. How about modernizing democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyonecan learn?

　　These achievements are within our reach. Let's do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role. Let's dobig 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 careers. Now we're all entrepreneurial, whether we're starting projects or finding or role. And that's great. Our culture of entrepreneurshipis how we create so much progress.

　　Now, an entrepreneurial culture thriveswhen it's easy to try lots of new ideas. Facebook wasn't the first thing I built. I also built games, chat systems, study tools and music players. I'm not alone. JK Rowling got rejected 12 times before publishing Harry Potter. Even Beyonce had to make hundreds of songs to get Halo. The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail.

　　But today, we have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone. When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose. Right now our society is way over-indexed on rewarding success and we don't do nearly enough to make it easy for everyone to take lots of shots.

　　Let's face it. There is something wrong with our system when I can leave here and make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can't afford to pay off their loans, let alone starta business.

　　Look, I know a lot of entrepreneurs, and I don't know a single person who gave up on starting a business because they might not make enough money. But I know lots of people who haven't pursued dreams because they didn't have a cushion to fall back on if they failed.

　　We all know we don't succeed just by havinga good idea or working hard. We succeed by being lucky too. If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to code, if I didn't know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn't be standing here today. If we're honest, we all know how much luck we've had.

　　Every generation expands its definition ofequality. Previous generations fought for the vote and civil rights. They hadthe New Deal and Great Society. Now it's our time to define a new socialcontract for our generation.

　　We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have arole we find meaningful. We should explore ideas like universal basic income togive everyone a cushion to try new things. We’re going to change jobs many times, so we need affordable childcare to get to work and healthcare that aren't tied to one company. We're all going to make mistakes, so we need asociety that focuses less on locking us up or stigmatizing us. And as technology keeps changing, we need to focus more on continuous education throughout our lives.

　　And yes, giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't free. People like me should pay for it. Many of you will do well and you should too.

　　That's why Priscilla and I started the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and committed our wealth to promoting equal opportunity.These are the values of our generation. It was never a question of if we were going to do this. The only question was when.

　　Millennials are already one of the most charitable generations in history. In one year, three of four US millennials made a donation and seven out of ten raised money for charity.

　　But it's not just about money. You can also give time. I promise you, if you take an hour or two a week -- that's all it takes to give someone a hand, to help them reach their potential.

　　Maybe you think that's too much time. I used to. When Priscilla graduated from Harvard she became a teacher, and before she'd do education work with me, she told me I needed to teach a class. I complained: "Well, I'm kind of busy. I'm running this company." But she insisted, so I taught a middle school program on entrepreneurship at the local Boys and Girls Club.

　　I taught them lessons on product development and marketing, and they taught me what it's like feeling targeted for your race and having a family member in prison. I shared stories from my time in school, and they shared their hope of one day going to college too. For five years now, I’ve been having dinner with those kids every month. One of them threw me and Priscilla our first baby shower. And next year they’re going to college. Every one of them. First in their families.

　　We can all make time to give someone ahand. Let's give everyone the freedom to pursue their purpose -- not only because it's the right thing to do, but because when more people can turn their dreams into something great, we're all better for it.

　　Purpose doesn't only come from work. The third way we can create a sense of purpose for everyone is by building community. And when our generation says "everyone", we mean everyone in the world.

　　Quick show of hands: how many of you are from another country? Now, how many of you are friends with one of these folks? Now we're talking. We have grown up connected.

　　In a survey asking millennials around the world what defines our identity, the most popular answer wasn't nationality, religionor ethnicity, it was "citizen of the world". That's a big deal.

　　Every generation expands the circle of people we consider "one of us". For us, it now encompasses the entire world.

　　We understand the great arc of human history bends towards people coming together in ever greater numbers -- from tribes to cities to nations -- to achieve things we couldn't on our own.

　　We get that our greatest opportunities are now global -- we can be the generation that ends poverty, that ends disease. We get that our greatest challenges need global responses too -- no country canfight climate change alone or prevent pandemics. Progress now requires coming together not just as cities or nations, but also as a global community.

　　But we live in an unstable time. There are people left behind by globalization across the world. It's hard to care about people in other places if we don’t feel good about our lives here at home.There’s pressure to turn inwards.

　　This is the struggle of our time. The forces of freedom, openness and global community against the forces of authoritarianism, isolationism and nationalism. Forces for the flow of knowledge, trade and immigration against those who would slow them down. This is not a battle of nations, it's a battle of ideas. There are people in everycountry for global connection and good people against it.

　　This isn't going to be decided at the UN either. It's going to happen at the local level, when enough of us feel a sense of purpose and stability in our own lives that we can open up and start caring about everyone. The best way to do that is to start building local communities right now.

　　We all get meaning from our communities.Whether our communities are houses or sports teams, churches or music groups, they give us that sense we are part of something bigger, that we are not alone; they give us the strength to expand our horizons.

　　That's why it's so striking that fordecades, membership in all kinds of groups has declined as much as one-quarter.That's a lot of people who now need to find purpose somewhere else.

　　But I know we can rebuild our communitiesand start new ones because many of you already are.

　　I met Agnes Igoye, who's graduating today.Where are you, Agnes? She spent her childhood navigating conflict zones inUganda, and now she trains thousands of law enforcement officers to keepcommunities safe.

　　I met Kayla Oakley and Niha Jain,graduating today, too. Stand up. Kayla and Niha started a non-profit that connects people suffering from illnesses with people in their communities willing to help.

　　I met David Razu Aznar, graduating from the Kennedy School today. David, stand up. He’s a former city councilor who successfully led the battle to make Mexico City the first Latin American city to pass marriage equality -- even before San Francisco.

　　This is my story too. A student in a dormroom, connecting one community at a time, and keeping at it until one day we connect the whole world.

　　Change starts local. Even global changesstart small -- with people like us. In our generation, the struggle of whether we connect more, whether we achieve our biggest opportunities, comes down to this -- your ability to build communities and create a world where every single person has a sense of purpose.

　　Class of 2017, you are graduating into a world that needs purpose. It's up to you to create it.

　　Now, you may be thinking: can I really do this?

　　Remember when I told you about that class I taught at the Boys and Girls Club? One day after class I was talking to them about college, and one of my top students raised his hand and said he wasn't sure he could go because he's undocumented. He didn't know if they'd let him in.

　　Last year I took him out to breakfast for his birthday. I wanted to get him a present, so I asked him and he started talking about students he saw struggling and said "You know, I'd really just like a book on social justice."

　　I was blown away. Here's a young guy who has every reason to be cynical. He didn't know if the country he calls home --the only one he's known -- would deny him his dream of going to college. But he wasn't feeling sorry for himself. He wasn't even thinking of himself. He has a greater sense of purpose, and he's going to bring people along with him.

　　It says something about our currentsituation that I can't even say his name because I don't want to put him at risk. But if a high school senior who doesn't know what the future holds can do his part to move the world forward, then we owe it to the world to do our part too.

　　Before you walk out those gates one last time, as we sit in front of Memorial Church, I am reminded of a prayer, MiShebeirach, that I say whenever I face a challenge, that I sing to my daughter thinking about her future when I tuck her into bed. It goes:

　　"May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us *find the courage* to make our lives a blessing."

　　I hope you find the courage to make your life a blessing.

　　Congratulations, Class of '17! Good luck out there.
