Mark Zuckerberg And Priscilla Chan Have Baby
扎克伯格写给女儿的一封信
为了全世界的孩子| 扎克伯格写给女儿的一封信Facebook创始人马克·扎克伯格刚刚迎来了自己第一孩子，为了庆祝女儿的降生，扎克伯格与妻子普莉希拉·陈（Priscilla Chan）承诺将他们持有的Facebook 99%股份（约450亿美元）捐赠给慈善机构。
扎克伯格还专门给女儿写了一封长信，读之令人动容。
节选了部分翻译如下：Dear Max,亲爱的麦柯斯，Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.你妈妈和我还找不到词汇来描述你给我们带来的对未来的期望。
你的新生活充满了潜能，我们愿你能健康快乐，以让你充分地去探索研究。
你已经给了我们一个理由去反思我们希望你生活的那个世界。
Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.像所有的父母一样，我们想要你长大后的世界比我们今天更好。
While headlines often focus on what's wrong, in many ways t he world is getting better. Health is improving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is growing. People are connecting. Tech nological progress in every field means your life should be dramatically better than ours today.新闻总是会报道哪里出了问题，但在好多方面这个世界正变得越来越好。
扎克伯格：没有人开始就知道如何做，需要的只是开始
扎克伯格：没有人开始就知道如何做，需要的只是开始原标题：扎克伯格哈佛演讲：没有人从一开始就知道如何做，你需要的只是开始Lens按：我们之前分享过一组各界名人在大学里的毕业演讲：“这是人生中恐惧最少的时候，不要浪费你的无知”。
而昨天，Facebook 创始人马克·扎克伯格刚刚在哈佛大学2017 届毕业典礼上进行了一场演讲。
当年，他正是听了比尔·盖茨在哈佛的演讲，选择了辍学。
这一次，他也和盖茨一样，从母校拿到了荣誉学位。
在这次演讲中，他分享了下面这些内容：1.“我们是千禧一代，我们会出于直觉和本能发现目标……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。
”2.“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。
”3.“没有人从一开始就知道如何做，想法并不会在最初就完全成型。
只有当你工作时才变得逐渐清晰，你只需要做的就是开始。
如果我必须在开始（Facebook）之前就了解清楚‘如何连接人’的想法，那么我就不会启动Facebook 了。
”4.“或许电影和流行文化会让人觉得被误导，那些想法会出现在一些灵光一闪的时刻，这其实是一个危险的谎言。
这让我们感到不满足，因为我们没有了我们自己的（行动）”5.“理想主义是好事，但你要做好被误解的准备。
”6.“ Facebook 并不是我做的第一件事，我还做过游戏、聊天系统、学习工具和音乐播放器。
我并不孤独，因为JK罗琳在出版《哈利波特》之前被拒绝了12 次……最大的成功来自于我们享有失败的自由。
”7.“人人都会犯错，所以我们需要一个更少污蔑与束缚的社会。
随着技术的不断变化，我们要更多地关注继续教育，活到老，学到老。
”8.“花一点时间，去帮助其他人，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——不仅因为这样做是正确的，更是因为当人们可以把梦想变为伟大的现实时，我们每个人都会变得更好。
马克·扎克伯格
外界一提到扎克伯格时，总是将其同微软创始人比尔·盖茨做比较，因为他们都是从哈佛大学辍学的“坏学生”，都是白手起家，在互联网上创业，从而影响全世界。
编辑本段
创业经历
哈佛大学辍学生创业
媒体称，Facebook 的市值已高达1800亿美元，扎克伯格本人也因这一成功创业，成为世界上最年轻的亿万富翁，同时也是最积极从事慈善事业的美国富豪之一。
扎克伯格曾表示：“一些人等到事业晚期才回馈(社会)。可现在就有那么多事情需要做，为何要等待？我们中一些人很可能在人生早期回馈社会，见证我们慈善努力的影响。”
黑客事件之后不久，扎克伯格（Zuckerberg）就和两位室友一起，用了一星期时间写网站程序，建立了一个为哈佛同学提供互相联系平台的网站，命名为 theFacebook。 the Facebook在2004年2月推出，即横扫整个哈佛校园。2004年年底，Facebook的注册人数已突破一百万，扎克伯格（Zuckerberg）干脆从哈佛退学，全职营运网站。
乳臭未干的“盖茨第二”
表面上马克·扎克伯格给人感觉和任何普通的大学生没有什么区别：风格奇特的T 恤、破烂陈旧的牛仔裤、阿迪达斯运动鞋、讲起话来甚至有点腼腆。
当被人恭维“看上去蛮像一个互联网企业的老板”时，扎克伯格却有点被激怒的感觉，因为潜意识里，他不愿把自己再当成一个局限于象牙塔的大学生。巧合的是，这个年仅22 岁的美国小伙子确实和世界首富、微软公司创始人比尔·盖茨有惊人的相似之处。他们都在19 岁就开始创业，成立自己的公司，同样是出身中产家庭且教育良好，同样是哈佛大学的辍学生，同样年纪轻轻就赢得世人尊敬。
“脸书”新娘普莉希拉.陈
“脸书”新娘普利希拉.陈美国时间5月19日，Facebook (由于在大陆被屏蔽，中文名字一般沿用台湾地区的“脸书”)上市后的第二天，马克.扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）与交往9年的女友普莉希拉陈（Priscilla Chan）结婚。
这个起源于美国的全球最大的社交服务网站，实现了硅谷有史以来规模最大的IPO。
那两天，美国某大学的课业间隙，来自中国地女孩莎莎和同学们多次谈论刚完婚的扎克伯格。
莎莎的美国同学们注意到了这个时间点：它的精确计算，展现了扎克伯格的精明，他预先计划了IPO和结婚的时间，最大程度地维护了自己的财产。
但几乎无人提及普莉希拉陈是个华裔，美国人根本没注意到她的皮肤是什么颜色的，而当地几位华裔女孩在记着提到普莉希拉的名字时，一时没有反应过来她是谁。
但在中文世界，情形完全不同。
嫁给扎克伯格令普莉希拉陈和夫婿同样有名，她被中国地网友们封为“世界上最幸运的女人”。
有网站为她建立了专题，网友们热心搜罗着她的家庭资料，讨论她如何征服顶级富豪，写文章专题分析她的驭夫之术，有传闻她的祖籍是徐州，于是把她和同样从徐州走出去的邓文迪相提并论……她公开的照片也被拿出来评头论足。
普莉希拉其貌不扬，不修边幅，有人不服气地说她“小胖妹掉的金龟婿”，也有人因此看到希望，并以她为励志目标。
简单的婚礼普莉希拉或许不会把嫁给扎克伯格作为自己的梦想，她没有宣扬自己结婚的消息，还是由扎克伯格在“脸书”上贴了张穿结婚照，穿着黑西装的扎克伯格和穿着婚纱的普莉希拉并肩立在树荫下。
此外唯一的变化，是两人都将婚姻状态改成“已婚”。
这个甚为低调的“已婚”过程被媒体尽可能详尽地描绘了一遍。
筹备了四个月，婚礼只称得上迷你简单。
典礼在扎克伯格位于加州帕洛阿尔托市的家中后院举行，受邀出席的宾客不超过百人。
婚礼完全出乎大家的意料。
因为普莉希拉5月14日从旧金山的加州大学医学院毕业，5月19日前来的客人们，本以为此次聚会是为了庆祝普莉希拉毕业而举行的派对，没想到看到她穿着蕾丝婚纱走来。

The man didn’t even look at my chair.In the 3 shop though, the situation was just the same, and in the third and in the fourth.I entered 4 shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the 5 ,“Wo uld you like to buy the chair ?” He 6 it carefully and said,“Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty dollars, ”I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty dollars,” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing.”7 was doing according to my plan. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it willbe easy to 8 after the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?

The National Weather Service reported the rainfall was more than the area had all last summer.Rain season in Arizona runs from June to September, bringing with it terrible storms with heavy rain and heavy winds. Because the desert around Phoenix experiences little rain most of the year, the water had nowhere to go when heavy rain started hitting the area on Tuesday.Up to 8 inches of rain fell by midday in some of the mountain areas along the main north-south freeway in Arizona. The town of New River which is outside of Phoenix, got hit with nearly 5 inches of rain from the storm. Places were flooding fast, and people tried to avoid the dangers that followed."We had many calls about the flooding of roads, buildings and homes, asking for help. We've got our men jumping from one car to the next. We worked all day and night without a break," Phoenix Fire Captain(队长), Benjamin Santillan said.A helicopter(直升机) group saved two women and three dogs from a home outside of Phoenix that had beensurrounde(包围) by moving water. Some drivers in cars were pulled out and saved by firefighters. People in schools and parks were sent to safe places.1．What happened in Phoenix and Arizona?A．Heavy snow. B．Earthquakes. C．Rainstorms. D．Strong wind.2．How long does the rain season last?A．One month. B．Two months. C．Four months. D．Six months.3．The underlined word "flooding" means _____________ .A．covering with water B．covering with snowC．covering with clouds D．covering with ice4．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _____________.A．some buildings were flooded terribly B．Benjamin Santillan is Phoenix Fire CaptainC．some roads and homes were flooded D．the firefighters worked hard on the stormC15、If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well, that's what Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $ 45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise to donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139people from 15 countries joined it.But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.Especially around the holidays，people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them.Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items，and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people's homes.People also host special events like concerts or runs to be creative while raising money.Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education，health and improving the lives of the poor.These individual（个人的）donations come together to make a big difference.1．Mark Zuckerberg promised to donate __________.A．90%of their Facebook shares to societyB．half of his wealth to the charitiesC．all of his money to charitiesD．45 billion yuan to society2．What does the underlined word“shares”mean？A．分享B．股份C．给予D．参与3．According to Paragraph 3，The Giving Pledge __________.A．started just ten years agoB．is a charity to raise moneyC．has attracted 139 peopleD．is only for US people4．According to this passage，regular people __________.A．get help from rich peopleB．hold special events to celebrate holidaysC．help the people who is less luckyD．collect food in homeless people's home5．What can we learn from the story？A．It's rich people's duty to give more money.B．There are more charities in the US than in China.C．The poor should work hard to make a living.D．Everyone can do their part to help others.D16、First Frenchman: I once heard someone shout, “Look out.” I put my head out of a window and a glass of water fell on me.

Adam is a MBA student at Harvard University. He studies long hours, gets very little sleep, so he drinks a lot of coffee—anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much coffee was making it hard for him to sleep at all. He also began having problems with his concentration(注意力), and complained o f stomachaches. Adam’s doctor made this suggestions: stop drinking coffee altogether.When Adam got up on October 3, he began his day without his morning coffee. By 11:00 a.m., Adam was in a terrible mood. He was tired and had a headache. At 11:30, he had a meeting with his student advisor. In the meeting, he found it almost impossible to continue. What was going on?Caffeine, a chemical found in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. Caffeine is a stimulant that boosts(增加) energy levels and improves concentration- but only for a short time. Lowering caffeine consumption(减少摄取咖啡因) often makes a drop in blood pressure and the result is a “coffee headache”. People who stop drinking coffee often say they feel tired and moody, and find it hard to focus.The good news is that these feeling usually pass after four and five days. During this time, doctors suggested taking some aspirin for the headache. So, if Adam can wait, in less than a week, he may be feeling much better.1．We learn from the reading Adam ▲ .A．does researches on caffeineB．can never be feeling betterC．still drinks 5 to 6 cups of coffee a dayD．had some problems because of coffee2．How may people feel when they stop drinking coffee?A．healthier B．uneasy C．energetic D．awaken3．The good news shows that ▲ .A．coffee can never cause headachesB．aspirin can stop us thinking coffeeC．more and more people will give up coffeeD．Adam will be better if he stops drinking coffeeⅤ.书面表达19、扬州市“五个一百工程” 英语经典文学(English classics)阅读正在全市各地各校全面而深入地推进，这提高了扬州学子的人文科学素养，并促进了他们的终身发展。

扎克伯格2017哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿全英文版
Mark Zuckerberg's Harvard CommencementAddress-2017President 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’r e 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 m y 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 day s, 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 Faceb ook. 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, a nd 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 generationalchallenge — 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 tell ing 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 wasso 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 see ms 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 builda company, but to make an impact. And as all these people startedjoining 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 havethe 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 childrenaround 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 ful ly 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. T hat’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 formoving 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 w hat 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 doto 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 findingor 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 buil t. 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 mone y. But I know lots of people who haven’t pursued dreams because they didn’t have a cush ion 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 befine 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 contractfor 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 andhealthcare 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, givin g 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 ti me. 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 s he’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 popul ar answer wasn’t nationality, religion or ethnicity, it was “citizen of the world”. That’s a big deal.Every gene ration 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, tradeand 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. Th at’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 w as blown away. Here’s a young guy who has every reason to be cynical. He didn’t know if the country he call s 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 somethi ng 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 wh at 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 frontof 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.Sponsored Stories。
扎克伯格奋斗史：成功源于自信与专注
导语：美国《圣何塞信使报》网络版今天撰文称，Facebook CEO马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)或许是唯一一个这么年轻就取得如此大成绩的美国企业家，但他的成功绝非偶然，而是源于他自始至终的自信和专注。
以下为文章全文：自信满满扎克伯格年少成名，隐然有乔布斯之风度2004年秋，方才搬到硅谷的马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)出此刻朱迪·福斯科(Judy Fusco)眼前，要租下她在洛斯阿尔托斯(LosAltos)的一栋房子。
这位房东立刻就被他的自信打动了。
“我说，‘哎呀，你多大了？’他说，‘20。
’”福斯科最近同意采访时回忆道，“我说，‘你感觉我会把价值100万美元的屋子租给你吗？’他回答道，‘是的。
’”后来，福斯科又发觉，那个租户的目的超级明确。
当她两年后在帕罗奥尔托市中心碰着他时，她问扎克伯格，为何要舍弃雅虎10亿美元的收购要约？“他说，‘朱迪，我做这些不是为了赚钱。
’”福斯科说，“钱对他而言只是实现梦想的一个工具。
”随着Facebook开始启动IPO(第一次公开招股)，这位Facebook开创人兼CEO也将迈入新的阶段：此刻，他必需很关心钱的情形。
此后几个月不可避免地会遭遇很多问题，例如，那个昔时站在福斯科门口的孩子已经成熟了多少？他担任CEO的热情是不是像昔时创造这款引人入胜的社交软件时那么高？“扎克伯格将制定战略，那个孩子的智商显然比咱们所有人想象得都要高出很多。
但他是一个伟大的商人吗？他可否创建一家实现利润最大化的企业？”美国证券公司WedbushSecurities分析师迈克尔·帕赫特(Michael Pachter)说，“今后的股东会要求增加投资回报，他或许并不喜欢这样。
”挑战目标很难说他会如何适应。
回顾他以往的成长历程，便会发觉“扎克”(Zuck)——几乎所有人都这么叫他——是一个罕有的将谦虚、专注和极度自信集于一身的人。

普莉希拉·陈
普莉希拉·陈普莉希拉·陈（Priscilla Chan）梦想着当小儿科医师。
有媒体评价她其貌不扬，身材还偏胖，长相和默多克前妻邓文迪同属貌不惊人，不是亚洲人眼中的美女。
普莉希拉·陈1985年生，与马克·扎克伯格早在2004年就相识，2005年相恋。
扎克伯格在2004年就读哈佛大学时，就在宿舍创办脸谱，因为爆红而干脆辍学创业，而普莉希拉是哈佛医学院的学生。
据称，就在2004年，扎克伯格在参加一个聚会派对上厕所时认识了普莉希拉。
2011年盖茨接受英国媒体专访讨论起自己和扎克伯格的慈善努力时说：“我没有对马克说：‘把你所有的钱给我吧！’他原本就有此意，主动来找我。
”接着，盖茨嘴里吐出了一个爆炸性的称呼：“他的未婚妻普莉希拉对教育很关注，所以他2010年捐钱给了特拉华州纽瓦克(的一所学校)。
他们很值得赞扬，我在40岁开始做慈善，而他们现就开始了。
”本来，普莉希拉应称是扎克伯格的“女朋友”而非“未婚妻”，这一称谓的改变意味着扎克伯格已经向普莉希拉求婚成功。
2012年5月20日（北京时间），在Facebook上市仅一天之后，该公司创始人兼CEO马克-扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）将其Facebook主页状态更新为“已婚”，宣布与恋爱9年的华裔女友普莉希拉-陈（Priscilla Chan）结为夫妻。
这一爆炸性新闻迅速轰动。
尽管平日里扎克伯格很少引人注目，不像其他名人，走在街上从不带墨镜的他也没能提高自己的回头率。
扎克伯格与现年27岁的普莉希拉-陈在其加州帕洛阿尔托市的家中举行了小型结婚仪式。
结婚仪式在扎克伯格家中后院举行，参加婚礼的宾客不到100人。
据《圣荷西水星报》网站报道，婚礼是在扎克伯格位于帕洛阿图市的住宅后院举行的。
规模很小且低调，来宾不超过百人。
二人发出了250张请柬中只有7人前来出席。
网上公布的照片显示，经常穿连帽衫的扎克伯格当天着深色西装，黑色领带，领口敞开，与着白色婚纱的普莉希拉-陈携手穿过树荫。

Mark Zuckerberg And Priscilla Chan Have Baby, Promise To Give Away Fortune

Max Chan Zuckerberg's parents are marking her birth by promising to give most of their Facebook shares to good causes over their lifetimes. The family is pictured in this photo provided by Mark Zuckerberg.
Max Chan Zuckerberg's parents are marking her birth by promising to give most of their Facebook shares to good causes over their lifetimes. The family is pictured in this photo provided by Mark Zuckerberg.
Mark Zuckerberg is a dad! And he's marking the birth of his first child (and #GivingTuesday) with a promise to give away 99 percent of his shares in Facebook to make a brighter future.
In an open letter to Max, their newborn daughter, Zuckerberg, 31, and his wife Dr. Priscilla Chan, 30, pledged to give 99 percent of their shares in Facebook —worth about $45 billion today — over the course of their lifetime.
The letter has a sweeping vision, traversing social and political issues that are controversial. Zuckerberg writes:
"Children who face traumatic experiences early in life often develop less healthy minds and bodies...
"If you have to wonder whether you'll have food or rent, or worry about abuse or crime, then it's difficult to reach your full potential.
"If you fear you'll go to prison rather than college because of the color of your skin, or that your family will be deported because of your legal status, or that you may be a victim of violence because of your religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, then it's difficult to reach your full potential."
He then emphasizes how investments in technology in particular can solve these problems. He writes: "People often think of the internet as just for entertainment or communication. But for the majority of people in the world, the internet can be a lifeline."
According to analyst estimates, for every 10 people who gain Internet access, one new job is created and one person is lifted out of poverty.
Call it a bit of a techno-utopian view of the world. It's the mantra he's been repeating since the creation of , another major philanthropic effort he's made as CEO of Facebook.
According to an SEC filing, he and his wife are establishing a new entity, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, LLC, to manage the money. Zuckerberg says he will control the voting and disposition of any shares held by such entity.
Zuckerberg does not plan to leave Facebook. He writes he will remain CEO for "many, many years to come." He plans to sell or gift no more than $1 billion of Facebook stock each year for the next three years and will retain his majority voting position for the foreseeable future.
The young billionaire is not the first to make such a sweeping philanthropic gesture. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, along with his wife Melinda, launched one of the largest private foundations in the world, with an endowment in 2014 of $44 billion. In 2006, Warren Buffett promised to gradually give away all of his Berkshire Hathaway stock.
All three have signed the Giving Pledge, a commitment by the uber-wealthy to dedicate most of their wealth to philanthropy (just to be clear, the chief of Uber is not a signatory).。
