So first, let's take on big meaningful projects.
首先,讓我們來說說做有意義的項目。
Our generation is gonna have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks.
我們這一代將不得不面對數千萬的工作被機器取代的情況,比如自動駕駛。
But we have the potential to do so much more than that.
但我們還是有很多潛能去做更多的事。
Every generation has its defining works.
每一代都有屬于自己一代的使命。
More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon – including that janitor.
比如有超過30萬人一起努力,讓人類登上了月球——包括那個看門的人;
Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio.
數百萬志愿者為世界各地的小兒麻痹癥患者打疫苗;
And millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects.
數以百萬計的人為建立胡佛水壩和其他偉大的項目貢獻了自己的力量。
And now it's our generation's turn to do great things.
現在輪到我們這代來做一些偉大的事了。
Now I know, maybe you're thinking: I don't know how to build a dam, I don't know how get a million people involved in anything.
我知道,你可能會想:我不知道如何建造大壩,或者如何讓一百萬人參與到任何事情中來。
Well, let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin.
但我想告訴你一個秘密:沒有人從一開始就知道如何做,

Ideas don't come out fully formed.
想法并不會在最初就完全成型。
They only become clear as you work on them.
只有當你工作時才變得逐漸清晰,
You just have to get started.
你只需要做的就是去開始它。
If I had to know everything about connecting people before I started, I never would've built Facebook.
如果我必須在開始(臉書)之前就了解清楚“如何連接人與人”的想法,那么我就不會啟動臉書了。
Movies and pop culture just get this all wrong.
或許電影和流行文化只會誤導我們,
The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie.
比如說有些想法會出現在一些靈光一閃的時刻,這其實是一個危險的假話。
It makes us feel inadequate because we feel like we haven't had ours yet.
這讓我們感到我們的準備還不充分,
And it prevents people with seeds of good ideas from ever getting started in the first place.
這會阻止那些擁有好想法的人去開始行動。
Oh, and you know what else movies get wrong about innovation?
對了,你知道電影當中還有什么是對創新的誤解嗎?
No one writes math formulas on glass. okay. All right, That's not a thing, okay?
那就是,沒有人會在玻璃上寫數學公式。
It's really good to be idealistic. But be prepared to be misunderstood.
其實,理想主義是好事,但你要做好被誤解的準備。
