Mark Zuckerberg's emotional speech to Harvard graduates

The Facebook founder made an urgent appeal to his generation, millennial to millennial to not only create new jobs, but create a sense of purpose.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a deeply private person and can sometimes come off flat as a dial tone. But at Harvard on Thursday he was charming, thoughtful, emotionally raw, and profoundly introspective. Five years after he ruffled feathers on Wall Street by wearing his customary grayT-shirt and jeans during meetings with prospective Facebook IPO investors, Zuckerberg wore a crisp suit and blue tie and opened his remarks with a wry joke at his own expense.

"You all accomplished something I didn't. If I get through this speech today, it will be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard," quipped Zuckerberg, who famously dropped out of Harvard after launching Facebook in his college dorm room 12 years ago.

Zuckerberg spoke at a podium without a teleprompter, and focused on channeling the entrepreneurial spirit exhibited by his generation, to push for big ideas and big projects, equal economic opportunity for all and a global community.

"The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail," said Zuckerberg, during his rousing commencement speech at Harvard.

He acknowledged that it's a luxury he himself was afforded, but too many are not. That's why billionaires like him should pay for a financial safety net that allows everyone to find their purpose, he said.

"If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to code, if I didn't know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn't be standing here today," said Zuckerberg, whose father was a successful dentist.

Zuckerberg said he experimented often as a student. "An entrepreneurial culture thrives when it's easy to try lots of new ideas. Facebook wasn't the first thing I built," he says. "I also built games, chat systems, study tools and music players."

"I'm not alone," continues Zuckerberg. "J.K. Rowling got rejected 12 times before publishing "Harry Potter." Even Beyoncé had to make hundreds of songs to get 'Halo.'

"When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose," said Zuckerberg. "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."

Zuckerberg, who is the world's fifth-richest person, worth $62.3 billion, talked about student loans weighing down a generation.

"Let's face it: There is something wrong with our system when I can leave [Harvard] 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," said Zuckerberg eliciting audience applause.

Zuckerberg, 33, made an urgent appeal to his generation, millennial to millennial:"To keep our society moving forward, we have a generational challenge — to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose," Zuckerberg told Harvard graduates. "It's not enough to have purpose yourself. You also have to create a sense of purpose for others."

Near the end of his commencement address, Zuckerberg zeroed in on a subject that is close to his heart: immigration. Zuckerberg's eyes misted and his voice broke as he recalled a conversation he had with a high school senior who he mentors. The young man feared he could not attend college because he was undocumented. Zuckerberg treated him to breakfast on his birthday and asked what he wanted as a gift. The young man responded: "A book on social justice."

"I was blown away. Here's a young man who has every reason to be cynical. I can't even say his name because I don't want to put him at risk of deportation. He didn't know if the country he calls home — the only one he's known — would deny him his dream of going to college. But he wasn't feeling sorry for himself. He wasn't even thinking about himself," Zuckerberg said. "He has a greater sense of purpose and he's going to bring people along with him."

"If a high school senior who doesn't know what the future holds for him can do his part to move the world forward," said Zuckerberg as he held back tears, "we owe it to the world to do our part too.

With his wife, Priscilla, in the audience, he pointed to the dormitory where he launched Facebook, and remarked that meeting her there was the best thing to happen to him at the university.

"I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to 'see me.' Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away party. As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: 'I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly,'" he told the audience.

"You're getting kicked out soon, too," he reminded the Harvard grads. "Actually, any of you graduating can use that line," he joked.

Zuckererg and Pricilla have been married for five years and have a daughter, Max, and are expecting a second child.

Mark Zuckerberg: Thành công luôn cần tới may mắn, ngày đó nếu tôi phải vừa phải code, vừa nuôi gia đình thì còn lâu mới có Facebook ngày nay

“Chúng ta đều biết rằng thành công không chỉ nhờ vào ý tưởng tốt hay làm việc chăm chỉ. Chúng ta thành công còn vì may mắn”, Mark Zuckerberg đã phát biểu trong buổi lễ tốt nghiệp của Đại học Harvard vừa qua.Trong bài phát biểu dự lễ tốt nghiệp của Đại học Harvard, đồng thời nhận tấm bằng tiến sĩ danh dự sau 12 năm bỏ học, Mark Zuckerberg – CEO Facebook có đoạn: “Hãy làm những việc vĩ đại, không chỉ để tạo nên tiến bộ xã hội, mà để còn tạo ra mục đích”.Nhìn lại con đường mà mình đã đi, Mark Zuckerberg nhận ra, mọi chuyện đều phụ thuộc vào việc người trẻ đặt ra mục đích gì và tiếp tục tiến lên phía trước. Theo CEO Facebook, có 3 cách để tạo ra mục đích cho người trẻ.

Một là làm những dự án vĩ đại, hai là định nghĩa lại bình đẳng để mọi người được tự do theo đuổi mục đích của họ, ba là cùng xây dựng một cộng đồng lớn mạnh trên toàn thế giới.

Tỷ phú người Mỹ đưa ra lời khuyên: “Đừng suy nghĩ quá nhiều, hãy cứ bắt tay vào làm cái đã. Trước kia tôi chưa từng mình sẽ xây được một con đập, hay kêu gọi hàng triệu người cùng tham gia làm bất kì điều gì. Nhưng để tôi nói cho các bạn nghe, chẳng ai biết họ cần gì khi vừa mới bắt tay vào một ý tưởng cả. Ý tưởng ban đầu luôn mộng mị và khó hình dung, chỉ khi bạn bắt tay vào làm thì chúng mới thực sự rõ ràng. Do đó, hãy cứ bắt đầu thôi. Bản thân tôi nếu đã hiểu mọi thứ về kết nối con người trước khi bắt đầu, tôi sẽ không bao giờ tạo ra được Facebook”.

Tuy nhiên, Mark Zuckerberg cho rằng, ngay khi bắt đầu một ý tưởng mới, người trẻ cần sẵn sàng chuẩn bị tâm lý cho việc bị hiểu lầm.

Anh khẳng định, bất cứ ai có ý tưởng lớn, vượt qua những người quanh mình đều dễ bị coi là điên rồ, ngay cả khi ý tưởng đó đúng. Ý tưởng càng phức tạp, người trẻ sẽ càng bị gán mác “không lường trước được những thách thức”, dù không ai có thể biết mọi thứ ngay từ đầu. Ý tưởng càng chủ động sẽ bị chỉ trích là đi quá nhanh, bởi luôn có ai đó muốn bạn đi chậm lại.

CEO Facebook đúc kết: “Người ta thường phủ nhận những ý tưởng lớn vì sợ mắc sai lầm. Người ta sẽ lờ đi mọi thứ không ổn, nếu chúng ta không làm gì cả. Thực tế là, bất cứ điều gì chúng ta làm sẽ mang đến những vấn đề trong tương lai. Nhưng điều đó không thể ngăn người trẻ bắt đầu”.

“Tôi biết nhiều doanh nhân, không ai trong số họ từ bỏ việc khởi nghiệp chỉ vì thiếu tiền. Nhưng tôi biết nhiều người không dám theo đuổi mơ ước vì không có bệ đỡ để tựa vào nếu chẳng may thất bại. Chúng ta đều biết rằng thành công không chỉ nhờ vào ý tưởng tốt hay làm việc chăm chỉ. Chúng ta thành công còn vì may mắn. Ngày đó, nếu tôi phải vừa ngồi lập trình, vừa nuôi gia đình, thì tôi sẽ không đứng đây ngày hôm nay, cũng như có Facebook như ngày nay. Chúng ta phải hiểu là mình may mắn đến thế nào”, Zuckerberg kể lại.

Theo CEO trẻ tuổi này, nếu như các thế hệ trước chiến đấu để bỏ phiếu và đòi quyền công dân thì thế hệ trẻ hiện nay cần định nghĩa về thỏa thuận xã hội mới.

Trong đó, sự tiến bộ được đo lường không chỉ bằng các số liệu kinh tế như GDP mà còn bởi có bao nhiêu người đóng vai trò ý nghĩa. Anh cho rằng, sai lầm là điều không thể tránh khỏi đối với người trẻ, do vậy chúng ta cũng cần một xã hội không bó buộc và kỳ thị điều đó.

Nói về các chiến dịch gây quỹ của mình, Mark Zuckerberg khẳng định, để người trẻ phát huy hết được tiềm năng của bạn thân, đó không chỉ đơn thuần là sự giúp đỡ về mặt tiền bạc. Mà còn là thời gian, cũng như việc nới lỏng các khung pháp lý.

“Tôi đảm bảo với bạn, nếu bạn có thể dành 1 đến 2 tiếng mỗi tuần lắng nghe, hoặc giúp sức cho một ý tưởng mới mẻ nào đó, thì người trẻ đã có thể phát huy được tiềm năng của mình”, Zuckerberg kêu gọi sự chung tay từ cộng đồng.

Phân biệt "House" or "Home"

2020-01-08T20:48:34+07:00

Phân biệt 'house' và 'home'

Cùng mang nghĩa là nhà nhưng "house" và "home" lại được sử dụng trong những tình huống khác nhau.

Nghĩa của "house" và "home"

House chỉ một tòa nhà, thường là nhà riêng được xây độc lập. Nếu bạn ở căn hộ trong tòa chung cư (apartment buildings), thông thường người ta không dùng từ house để chỉ. House vẫn được coi là nhà kể cả khi có người sống ở đó hay không.
Home là nơi người ta ở hoặc cảm thấy mình thuộc về. Từ này có liên quan tới cảm xúc nhiều hơn house. Home cũng có thể chỉ địa điểm nơi bạn đã lớn lên.

- I'm going home for the holidays. (Tôi sẽ về quê vào kỳ nghỉ).

Cách dùng "house" và "home"

Có một khác biệt rất quan trọng trong cách sử dụng hai từ này. Xem ví dụ sau đây:

- I'm going home now.

- I'm going to my house now.

Home đóng vai trò trong câu tương tự như những từ "here", "there", "in","out", "somewhere". Bạn có thể thử thay thế những từ này vào các câu tương tự.

- It's so nice to be home. (Thật tuyệt khi ở nhà).

Bạn có thể dùng home trong các tình huống lịch sự để thể hiện sự tôn trọng cao hơn house. Chẳng hạn, bạn có thể dùng từ này khi viết lời nhắn cảm ơn.

- Thank you so much for inviting me to your lovely home. (Cảm ơn rất nhiều vì đã mời tôi đến thăm căn nhà dễ thương của bạn).

Ngược lại, khi nói chuyện với ai đó về chỗ ở của mình, người ta thường dùng house hơn là home.

- Want to come over to my house this afternoon? (Chiều nay muốn qua nhà tôi không?

Cụm từ sử dụng "house" và "home"

Thử đoán xem từ còn thiếu trong những cụm từ dưới đây là house hay home.

1. a single-family ___

2. a dog ___

3. clean the ___

4. on ___ arrest

5. a ___ loan

6. a ___ owner

7. a ___ sitter

8. ___ improvement

9. ___ school your children

10. a beach ___

11. my ___town

Nghĩa khác của "house" và "home"

Trong một số trường hợp, house và home mang nghĩa khác. Chẳng hạn, house có thể chỉ tòa nhà thượng nghị viện của một quốc gia.

- The House debated the bill for over four hours before putting it to a vote. (Nghị viện tranh luận về dự luật hơn bốn tiếng trước khi đưa vào cuộc bỏ phiếu).

Trong khi đó, house music là một thể loại nhạc dance.

- HOUSE cũng có thể được dùng như động từ với nghĩa tích trữ, cất, chứa.

- That building over there houses all of our heavy machinery. (Tòa nhà đằng kia chứa toàn bộ máy móc hạng nặng của chúng tôi).

- Where are we going to house everyone? (Chúng ta có thể chứa tất cả mọi người ở đâu đây?).

Một quán bar, nhà hàng hoặc sòng bạc có thể tự gọi mình là the house.

A: How much do I owe you? (Tôi phải trả bao nhiêu?)

B: It's on the house. (Quán mời).

A: Really? Thanks! (Thật sao? Cảm ơn!)

Từ home có ít nghĩa khác biệt hơn nhưng bạn cũng có thể tìm thấy trong một số tình huống. Chẳng hạn, trang chính của một website được gọi là home page (trang chủ).

Trong môn bóng chày, home là vị trí trên sân mà cầu thủ bắt đầu và là nơi mà họ phải chạm để được ghi một điểm. Một số trò chơi khác cũng sử dụng home với ý nghĩa tương tự.

Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep them loyal to it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases. The quality of the product will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affectadvertising.

Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product. Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of dollars.

Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind. Current developments in advertising increase the need for talentedworkers.

In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner father, non- working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of American households fit this stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers, single people and older people on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular segment and aim its message toward thatgroup.

Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the attention of consumers and to help them see products in a new light. The use of computer graphics in a commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.

Instructors at American colleges and universities use many different teaching methods. Some instructors give assignments everyday. They grade homework. Students in their classes have to take many quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final test. Other instructors give only writing assignments. Some teachers always follow a course outline and usually use the text book. Others send students to the library forassignments.

The atmosphere in some classrooms is very formal. Students call their instructors “Professor Smith,” “Mrs Jones,” and so on. Some teachers wear business clothes and give lectures. Other classrooms have an informal atmosphere. Students and teachers discuss their ideas. Instructors dress informally, and students call them by their first names. American teachers are not alike in their teaching styles.

At most American colleges and universities, facilities for learning and recreation are available to students. Students can often use type-writers, tape recorders, video machines, and computers at libraries and learning centres. They can buy books, notebooks, and other things at campus stores.
