做有意義的事

　　每代人都有做出了屬于自己時(shí)代的偉大事情，你可能覺(jué)得無(wú)從下手，但是沒(méi)有人從一開(kāi)始就知道怎么做。

　　Ideas don't come out fully formed. They only become clear as you work on them. You just have to get started.

　　沒(méi)有人的想法從一開(kāi)始就是完美的，只有當(dāng)你著手做的時(shí)候才變得逐漸清晰，你只需要開(kāi)始行動(dòng)起來(lái)就行了。

　　If I had to understand everything about connecting people before I began, I never would have started Facebook.

　　如果在開(kāi)始前我就必須知道如何把人與人聯(lián)系在一起，我就不會(huì)創(chuàng)辦Facebook了

　　做有大愿景、大情懷的事情可能會(huì)不被理解，你要做好心理準(zhǔn)備。

　　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.

　　其實(shí)，理想主義是好事，但你要做好被誤解的準(zhǔn)備。胸懷大志的人都會(huì)被稱(chēng)為瘋子，即使你最終獲得成功。你想解決復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題，別人就會(huì)說(shuō)你不自量力，即便你不可能事先了解一切。任何先行一步的人都會(huì)因?yàn)椴阶犹於艿脚u(píng)，因?yàn)榭偸怯腥讼胱屇懵聛?lái)。

　　不要因?yàn)楹ε路稿e(cuò)就停止前進(jìn)。

　　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.

　　在社會(huì)中，我們并不經(jīng)常做一些了不起的事，因?yàn)槲覀兒ε路稿e(cuò)。如果我們什么都不做，我們就忽視了今天所有的問(wèn)題。事實(shí)上，我們做的任何事情將來(lái)可能都會(huì)有問(wèn)題。但這不能阻止我們開(kāi)始。

　　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.

　　我們要做一些了不起的事，讓社會(huì)中的每個(gè)人都找到自己的角色。不僅要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造進(jìn)步，更要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造目標(biāo)。
