Fantastic Speech By College Dropout Student At Harvard University On Thursday

     

                  A College Dropout person came back after 12 years and gave a fantastic speech at Harvard University. I'm talking about a great person who got a great  idea and became the CEO for the Company . He is one of Top 5 Billionaire  in 2017 . I'm talking about  CEO Facebook Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg went to Harvard as an undergraduate in 2002 but left after his sophomore year to pursue his company , which later became Facebook.

He had planned to return to Harvard later but changed his mind after Facebook became a quick success. The social media giant now counts nearly 2 billion users around the world.

"I am honored to be here with you today because let's face it, you accomplished something I never could," said Zuckerberg, although it's worth pointing out his current net worth is $63 billion — that's close to double the Harvard endowment.

 

"I'm here to tell you that finding your purpose isn't enough. The challenge for our generation is to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.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.," Zuckerberg said . 

 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.

 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 . 

 "As a CEO, Zuckerberg sees his role as managing risk. "On a day-to-day basis, a lot of the decisions I am making are like, 'Okay is this going to destroy the company?' Because if not, then let them test it," says Zuckerberg.

           "If the cost of the test isn't going to be super high, then in general, we are going to learn a lot more by experimenting and by letting the teams go and explore the things that are worth exploring than by having a heavy hand in that," he says.

 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.

He's indicating that we've got to work hard to create the jobs needed by those replaced by automation. And that's really not the right way around to be thinking of it. Instead, much more important, is that automation frees up labour to go off and do other things. This is something we must get the right way around or we'll end up like Bill Gates and recommending the absurdity of a tax upon robots. No, we want as much automation as fast as we can get it.

Noting that society will likely see "tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks" in the coming years, Zuckerberg called for young people to work on large public works projects to make new jobs. Though he didn't specify what sorts of projects those should be, or what hand companies such as Facebook could play in them, he did cite some past examples.

Zuckerberg noted that previous generations have their own "defining works" - the Hoover Dam, the space program, the fight against polio - that pulled them together and imbued America with civic pride. Citing global problems including climate change and pandemics, Zuckerberg said that millennials, himself included, understand themselves as global citizens rather than belonging to any nation-state.

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

He said that his profile-raising visits across the country have simply been to "get a broader perspective" as the service tries to connect users to not just the people they already know but the "people you should know" who can "provide a new source of support and inspiration.

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.

He ended it very nicely . He shared all his views about  his University Experiences . He gave an inspirational Speech . He motivated everyone through his speech .
