做有意义的事

　　每代人都有做出了属于自己时代的伟大事情，你可能觉得无从下手，但是没有人从一开始就知道怎么做。

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

　　没有人的想法从一开始就是完美的，只有当你着手做的时候才变得逐渐清晰，你只需要开始行动起来就行了。

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

　　如果在开始前我就必须知道如何把人与人联系在一起，我就不会创办Facebook了

　　做有大愿景、大情怀的事情可能会不被理解，你要做好心理准备。

　　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.

　　其实，理想主义是好事，但你要做好被误解的准备。胸怀大志的人都会被称为疯子，即使你最终获得成功。你想解决复杂的问题，别人就会说你不自量力，即便你不可能事先了解一切。任何先行一步的人都会因为步子太快而受到批评，因为总是有人想让你慢下来。

　　不要因为害怕犯错就停止前进。

　　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.

　　在社会中，我们并不经常做一些了不起的事，因为我们害怕犯错。如果我们什么都不做，我们就忽视了今天所有的问题。事实上，我们做的任何事情将来可能都会有问题。但这不能阻止我们开始。

　　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.

　　我们要做一些了不起的事，让社会中的每个人都找到自己的角色。不仅要创造进步，更要创造目标。
