Mark Zuckerberg: purpose is that feeling that you are a part of something bigger than yourself
that you are needed and that you have something better ahead to work for
purpose is what creates true happiness I always think that the most important
thing that entrepreneurs should do is pick something they care about work on
it but don't actually commit to turning it into a company until it's working and
I think that if you look at the data of like the very best companies that have
gotten built I actually think a tremendous percent of them have been
built that way and not from people who decided upfront that they wanted to
start a company because you just get locked into some local minimum a lot of
the time I remember that night I launched Facebook from that little dorm
in Kirkland house I went to Doakes with my friend kayaks and I remember telling
him clearly that I was excited to help connect the Harvard community but one
day someone would connect the whole world the thing is it never even
occurred to me that that someone might be us we were just college kids we don't
know anything about that there were all these great big technology companies
with all these resources and 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 working
on it day after day after day and I know that a lot of you are going to have your
own stories just like this a change in the world that seems so clear that you
are sure someone else is going to do it but they're not you will yes it was so
throughout building Facebook I mean there have been lots of challenges and
they're all these times where in anything you do where you know you're
really going to be pushed and you feel like you want to give up or something
like that and you know this gets back to it was talking a second ago about how I
think the media there's a little bit of cultural bias towards thinking that you
know one person does this right I mean people say that you know I built
Facebook or Steve Jobs built Apple or whatever but you know that's really not
true right I mean if we're more people we
helped but there were thousands and thousands of other people involved in
building these things and the reality is is that as strong as any one individual
is no one person can deal with all the challenges that are going to get thrown
at them in anything that you do I just think like there's no way that any one
person can overcome all of the different things that you need to do to build a
start-up or take on any kind of other project in the world but if you have two
or three or four partners then I don't know I mean maybe over time one of them
doesn't like it and then drops out but you still have enough strength on the
team to power through all the challenges that you have and that's kind of how you
go 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
know everything about connecting people before I got started I never would have
built Facebook movies and pop culture just get this all wrong the idea of a
single Eureka moment is a dangerous lie it makes us feel inadequate because we
feel like we haven't had ours yet and it prevents people with seeds of good ideas
from ever getting started in the first place oh gee I you know I take this
responsibility that I have really seriously and I really think that
Facebook needs to be focused on building the best experiences for people around
the world right and we have this philosophy that building the products
and services and building the business go hand in hand
in a world that's changing so quickly the biggest risk you can take is not
taking any risk and I really think that that's true right a lot of people I
think thanked that you know whenever it comes to whatever you get yourself into
a position where you have to make some some big shift in direction or do
something you know they're always people are going to point to the downside risks
of that decision and locally there may be right right I mean if for any given
decision that you're going to make there's
upside and downside but in aggregate if you are stagnant and you don't make
those changes then then I think you're guaranteed to fail right and not not
catch up so to some degree I think it's really right that over time the biggest
risk that you can take is to not take any risks the greatest successes come
from having the freedom to fail anyone working on a big vision is going to get
called crazy even if you end up right anyone taking on a complex problem is
going to get blamed for not fully understanding it even though it's
impossible to know everything up front anyone taking initiative will always get
criticized for moving too fast because there's always someone who wants to slow
you down in our society we often don't take on 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 today is going to have some issues in
the future but that can't stop us from getting started so what are we waiting
for it is time for our generation defining great works you know what
you're doing all right maybe college students like it
but no one else is going to like it and you know there's not going to be any
money in doing this so all right so you only really do it if you care all right
if you're passionate about doing it and then it's start growing and people said
it would be a fad and it would never be a good business but you know you keep
going because you care not because you're you're trying to create a
business the entrepreneur so I think build things that lasts for a long time
keep going because they care fundamentally about the change that
they're trying to create in the world and they're not in it just to build a
company what when I was in school and studying computer science I always
wondered whether it was the real thing right is this like like alright I'm
learning programming but is this the programming that you really need to be
able to build whatever you want in the world and it turns out the answer to
that is absolutely yes right the stuff that you're looking at
that you're learning here is absolutely are absolutely the skills that you need
to build anything that you want and you know a lot of times I think people just
get afraid because it often your dream is its it seems like it's so so far off
but if you just kind of focus on building stuff that you think is good
and and you keep on going at each step along the way and don't let people deter
you from that and you just really care about what you're doing and kind of
don't give up but each step along the way then you know I think that's how you
that's how you build something good my hope was never to build a company I
wanted to have an impact and as all these people started joining us I just
assumed that that's what they wanted to do too so I never took the time to
explain what it was that 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 and we were building the first version of newsfeed at the
time and I thought if we could just launch this it could change how we all
learn about the world nearly everyone else wanted to sell without a sense of
higher purpose this was their startup dream come true
and it tore our company apart after one particularly tense argument one of my
closest advisors told me if I didn't agree to sell the company right now I
would regret that decision for the rest of my life relationships were so afraid
that within a year or so every single person on our management team was gone
that was my hardest time meeting 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 things actually worked now
years later I understand it that is how things work when there's no sense of
higher purpose so it's up to all of us to create it so we can all keep moving
forward together you know it's this deep belief that you're trying to make a
change you're trying to connect people in the world and I really do believe
that if you do something good and if you help people out then
eventually some portion of that good will come back to you and you may not
know up front what it's going to be but that's just been the guiding principle
for me in the work that we've done and I hope that some of the work that we do
can play a role and empowering you and so many more entrepreneurs to build add
the next great companies
