當年AirBnB第一單生意是數名年輕人為了賺點收入，在房間放置氣墊床，並提供了早餐，就吸引了人嘗試這項新旅居模式。Facebook則是Mark Zuckerberg讀書時研發的一個平台，由提供校內人士使用，到了世界各地的用戶總數超過10億。可見，處身千禧年代，甚麼事也有可能。變化多端的力量，也是這個年代最吸引之處。

以下Mark Zuckerberg的名語錄，同樣收藏了不少嶄新理念，不時重溫，或許有日會引發你活出不一樣的人生。

我幾乎每天都會問自己一個問題：有沒有更重要的事情可做呢？

最大的風險就是不冒險。

Mark Zuckerberg

許多企業擔心自己可能會犯錯，害怕承擔任何風險。成立公司的目的是讓人們在失敗時相互評判。

人們不在乎你說甚麼，他們在乎你創作的內容。

I just met with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss new rules and regulations for the internet. We both believe governments should take a more active role around important issues like balancing expression and safety, privacy and data portability, and preventing election interference — reflecting their own traditions of free speech. Last year we invited French government officials to look at how we manage harmful content on our platforms. Our systems now proactively identify 65% of the hate speech we take down before it’s even reported — up from 24% a year ago. But there are nuanced decisions to make here, such as how we should handle content that isn’t illegal but might cause harm. This is an area where I believe companies should not make these decisions by themselves and there should be a public process with democratically elected governments. Today the French government shared their recommendations for a new model that sets guidelines around what’s considered harmful. This would create a more consistent approach across the industry and ensure companies are held accountable for enforcing our standards against this content. While I am sure we won’t agree on everything, it’s important to get this right — people use lots of different online services and the internet should be one platform that everyone can access on the same terms. This is our first official collaboration on regulation with a government, and we’re hopeful this process could work for other countries. Thank you to President Macron for hosting us and for your leadership on these important issues.

簡單地說：我們不是為了賺錢而提供服務；我們只是為了提供更好的服務而賺錢。

Tonight we hosted the Breakthrough Prize to honor the top scientific achievements in physics, mathematics, and life sciences. @lupitanyongo and I presented the Life Sciences award to Xiaowei Zhuang for developing a new imaging technique and discovering hidden structures that make up our cells. Until now, these complex molecular structures were beyond the resolution limits of traditional microscopy. Research by two other of tonight’s honorees has led to a new understanding of how materials can conduct electricity, which could lead to huge energy efficiency savings and potentially be used in quantum computing — helping to speed up the pace of tools used for critical applications like medical research, climate forecasting, and artificial intelligence. It’s achievements like these that will move society forward for everyone. Congratulations again to all the awardees!

人們認為創新只是一個好主意，但是很多時，創新只是在迅速發展中嘗試了很多事情，並不是一個點子。

Mark Zuckerberg

作出嘗試，即使失敗也能從中學習，總比不做任何事情好。

Mark Zuckerberg

幫助十億人建立聯繫令人驚奇，同時教人謙卑。這是我一生中最引以為傲的事情。
