Speech on purpose by Mark Zuckerberg

"Purpose is a part of a cause that is bigger than yourself. When I launched facebook for the college community, I told my friend that someone would do the same to connect the world but I never realised that 'that someone' would be us!"

"When you know that a change in the world is going to be sure that someone else will do it, but they won't, you will. There are three ways in creating a sense of purpose - by taking on meaningful projects together, by redefining quality, so that everyone can be comfortable and by creating community all across the world."

"Ideas don't come out fully formed, they come as you get into it. If there was a single eureka moment, people would've felt adequate already and demotivated to move further. It's really good to be realistic, but be prepared to be misunderstood. Let's do things to not just create progress but purpose"
