毕业演讲惹众怒 中国女留学生道歉
护照印戳哪个最牛?你盖了吗?
小札的演讲足足有30多分钟,文字内容较长,来看看他的演讲精华吧!
小札在毕业典礼上,毫不吝啬地分享了他在哈佛期间的点点滴滴。当然更重要的还有他的一生所爱,Priscilla Chan。 身为Facebook的创始人,小札赋予了社交网络的定义,这也鼓舞了哈佛新一代的年轻人。
今天,他想要告诉大家,我们这代人最大的挑战是要建立一个人人都有目标感的世界(The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.)
在演讲中,小扎围绕着Purpose这一主题,展开了论述。小扎说,作为千禧代,单单是寻找自己个体的目标是不够的,真正的挑战是创造一个人人都拥有人生目标和人生意义的世界。就像第一次人类踏上月球的背后,是超过3000000人的努力,包括每一位清洁工。下一个新的时代,应该是人人都能自由的追求自己的梦想,人人都能勇于追求自己的目标。只有当人们意识到自我人生意义的时候,这个社会以及社会中的每个个体,才是真真实实的存在着,进步着。目标是真正幸福的源泉(Purpose is what creates true happiness)。
当演讲达到高潮,小札说,今天我告诉哈佛,我们的世界需要一个新的平等契约,每一代人都扩大了平等的定义,现在是我们这一代人定义新的社会契约的时候了(It's time for this generation to define a "social contract" in the vein of the New Dealor the Great Society)。
我们应该建立一个衡量社会进步的方式,但是并不是像国内生产总值这样的经济指标,而是我们中有多少人发现了我们有意义的角色,我们应该拥有一个稳定的社会收入,以确保每个人都有能力去尝试自己新的想法。
最后小札热泪盈眶的说:“那我们还在等什么?现在是我们这一代定义伟大项目的时刻了!(So what are we waiting for? It's time for our generation - defining great works.)”有梦想就要去实现,小编祝每一个追梦人,永远年轻,永远热泪盈眶!

扎克伯格的英文演讲全文:【中文附后】
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 this speech, 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 up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, 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. As luck 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: “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 lifelong 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’m not 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 to tell you finding your purpose isn’t 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 center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked 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 of something 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 is especially important. When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your community. But today, technology and automation are eliminating 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 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 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 own stories just like this. A change in the world that seems so clear you’re sure someone 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 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 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 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 big meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom 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 that janitor. 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 purpose for the people doing those jobs, they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things.
Now it’s our turn to do great things. I know, you’re probably thinking: I don’t know how to build a dam, or get a million 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 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.
Movies 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 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, even if you end up right. Anyone working on a complex problem will get blamed for not fully understanding the challenge, even though it’s impossible to know everything upfront. Anyone taking initiative will get criticized for moving too fast, because there’s always someone who wants to slow you down.
In our society, we often don’t do big things 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 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 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 everyone can 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 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 careers. Now we’re all entrepreneurial, whether we’re starting projects or finding or role. And that’s great. Our culture of entrepreneurship is how we create so much progress.
Now, an entrepreneurial culture thrives when 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 start a 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 having a 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 of equality. Previous generations fought for the vote and civil rights. They had the New Deal and Great Society. Now it’s our time to define a new social contract 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 a role we find meaningful. We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give 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 a society 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 a hand. 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, religion or 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 can fight 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 every country 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 for decades, 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 communities and 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 in Uganda, and now she trains thousands of law enforcement officers to keep communities 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 dorm room, connecting one community at a time, and keeping at it until one day we connect the whole world.
Change starts local. Even global changes start 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 current situation 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, Mi Shebeirach, 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.

Faust校长,校监委员会成员们,老师、校友、朋友、自豪的家长们、管理委员会的委员们,以及全世界最伟大学校的毕业生们!
今天和你们待在一起我备感荣幸,因为说实话,你们完成了一个我永远无法办到的成就。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的毕业班同学,祝贺你们!
我本不可能是站在这里发表演讲的人,不仅仅因为我是一名辍学生,还因为其实我们是同一代人。我作为学生走在这个校园里,也就是不过十年前的事情。我们学习过同样的知识,同样在EC10课堂上补觉。尽管我们通过不同的方式来到这里,尤其那些来自Quad园区的同学(The Quad以前是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);但今天我想和你们分享的是,我对我们这代人的一些想法,和我们正在合力建设的这个世界。
在哈佛最美好的回忆,我遇见了现在的妻子
首先,过去几天令我想起很多美好的回忆。
你们当中多少人还确切记得,当初收到哈佛的录取通知邮件时在做什么?当时我正在玩《文明》游戏,然后我跑下楼,找到我的父亲,不过他的反应很奇怪,居然开始拍摄我打开邮件的过程。那个视频可能看着挺难过吧。但我发誓,被哈佛录取,是最令我父母为我感到骄傲的事情。
你们还记得在哈佛上的第一节课吗?我上的是计算机121,Harry Lewis老师超级棒。当时我要迟到了,于是抓了件T恤就套在身上,结果直到下午才发现我把它前后里外都穿反了,商标都露在前胸。然后我还纳闷怎么没人理我,除了一个人,KX Jin,他没有在意这些。之后,我们开始组队解决难题,现在他负责Facebook很大一块业务。这说明什么?2017的毕业生们,这说明为什么你们应该对别人友善一些。
但是我在哈佛最美好的回忆,是我遇见了Priscilla(扎克伯格妻子)。当时我刚上线一个恶作剧网站Facemash,然后管理委员会表示“要见我”,所有人都认为我要被赶走了。我爸妈来帮我打包行李;我朋友帮我搞了个告别派对。幸运的事情就在这里,Priscilla和她朋友一起,来到了这个Party。我们在Pfoho Belltower的卫生间外排队时遇见了,接下来发生了一件永生难忘的浪漫事件——我说:“我三天后就要被赶出学校了,所以我们需要尽快开始约会。”
事实上,你们所有人都可以使用这个套路。
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,那部电影(《社交网络》)说的Facemash对创造Facebook好像很重要似的。并非如此。但是没有Facemash的话,我遇不到Priscilla。她是我生命中最重要的人,所以从这个角度说,Facemash是我人生中做出的最重要的一样东西。
在这里,我们开始结交一生的挚友,甚至有的以后会成为家人。这是为什么我对这里如此感激的原因。谢谢你,哈佛!
“几乎所有人都想让我把公司卖了。没有更高远的使命感,这个创业公司不可能梦想成真。”
今天我想谈谈目标(Purpose),但是我不是来给你们做一些程序化的宣言,告诉你们如何发现目标的。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够。我们这代人面临的挑战,是创造一个人人都能有使命感的世界。
我最喜欢的一个故事,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。于是他走过去问这人在干什么。看门人回答说:“总统先生,我正在帮助把一个人送往月球。”
目标是我们意识到我们是比自己更大的东西的一部分,是我们被需要的、我们需要更为之努力的东西。目标能创造真正的快乐。
今天,你在这个特别重要的时刻毕业了。当你父母毕业的时候,目标很大程度上来自工作、教会、社群。但是今天,技术和自动化正在代替很多工作,社区成员人数也在下降。许多人感到沮丧,感到自己被隔离开来了,同时也在努力填补空白。
当我走过很多地方的时候,我曾和许多被拘留的、阿片类药物成瘾的孩子们坐在一起,他们告诉我如果他们有事可做,参加课后活动或者有地方可去,他们的人生会变得很不一样。我也遇到过很多工厂的工人,他们没法再从事之前从事的工作了,所以试图找到新的能做的事。
为了保持社会的进步,我们身负挑战——不仅仅是创造新的工作,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。我和我的朋友KX去了Noch。我记得我告诉他,我很开心能把哈佛的社群连接起来,但是有一天,有人会把整个世界都连接起来。
我完全没有想到这个人会是我们。当时我们还只是大学生,对此还并不了解。所有这些大型技术公司都有资源,我只是认为其中一个大公司会做到这一点。但是,我对这个想法很确信——所有人都想和彼此连接,所以我们一直在朝这个方向努力前进。
我知道你们中的很多人也会有类似的故事。你觉得很多人都在改变世界,然而他们并没有,而你会。
但是,光有目标是不够的。你必须拥有心系他人的目标。
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。越来越多的人加入我们,我假设他们跟我关心的是同样的东西,所以我从来没解释过我到底希望建立什么。
几年来,一些大公司想要收购我们。我拒绝了。我想知道是否能连接更多的人。我们正在建立第一个新闻流(News Feed),当时我想,如果我们能做到这一点,它可能会改变我们学习世界的方式。
几乎所有人都想让我把公司卖了。没有更高远的使命感,这个创业公司不可能梦想成真。经过激烈的争论后,一位顾问跟我说,如果我不同意出售,我会后悔一辈子。一年左右的时间里,当时的管理层几乎都走了。
这是我在Facebook时最艰难的时刻。我相信我们在做的东西,但是我也感到孤独。更糟糕的是,当时我觉得这是我的错。我在想是不是我错了,一个22岁的小孩,都不知道世界是怎么运转的。
多年以后的今天,我明白了那是因为没有更高的目标。是否创造它取决于我们,所以我们能一起前进。
今天我想谈谈创造一个每个人都有使命感的世界的三种方法:一起做有意义的项目;通过重新定义平等,使每个人都有追求目标的自由;在全世界建立社群......
创造一个每个人都有使命感的世界!
