做有意義的事

　　每代人都有做出了屬于自己時代的偉大事情，你可能覺得無從下手，但是沒有人從一開始就知道怎么做。

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

　　沒有人的想法從一開始就是完美的，只有當(dāng)你著手做的時候才變得逐漸清晰，你只需要開始行動起來就行了。

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

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

　　做有大愿景、大情懷的事情可能會不被理解，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，理想主義是好事，但你要做好被誤解的準(zhǔn)備。胸懷大志的人都會被稱為瘋子，即使你最終獲得成功。你想解決復(fù)雜的問題，別人就會說你不自量力，即便你不可能事先了解一切。任何先行一步的人都會因為步子太快而受到批評，因為總是有人想讓你慢下來。

　　不要因為害怕犯錯就停止前進。

　　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.

　　在社會中，我們并不經(jīng)常做一些了不起的事，因為我們害怕犯錯。如果我們什么都不做，我們就忽視了今天所有的問題。事實上，我們做的任何事情將來可能都會有問題。但這不能阻止我們開始。

　　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，讓社會中的每個人都找到自己的角色。不僅要創(chuàng)造進步，更要創(chuàng)造目標(biāo)。
