So first, let's take on big meaningful projects.
首先，让我们来说说做有意义的项目。
Our generation is gonna have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks.
我们这一代将不得不面对数千万的工作被机器取代的情况，比如自动驾驶。
But we have the potential to do so much more than that.
但我们还是有很多潜能去做更多的事。
Every generation has its defining works.
每一代都有属于自己一代的使命。
More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon – including that janitor.

And millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects.
数以百万计的人为建立胡佛水坝和其他伟大的项目贡献了自己的力量。
And now it's our generation's turn to do great things.
现在轮到我们这代来做一些伟大的事了。
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，你可能会想：我不知道如何建造大坝，或者如何让一百万人参与到任何事情中来。
Well, let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin.
但我想告诉你一个秘密：没有人从一开始就知道如何做，
Ideas don't come out fully formed.
想法并不会在最初就完全成型。
They only become clear as you work on them.
只有当你工作时才变得逐渐清晰，
You just have to get started.
你只需要做的就是去开始它。
If I had to know everything about connecting people before I started, I never would've built Facebook.
如果我必须在开始（脸书）之前就了解清楚“如何连接人与人”的想法，那么我就不会启动脸书了。
Movies and pop culture just get this all wrong.
或许电影和流行文化只会误导我们，
The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie.
比如说有些想法会出现在一些灵光一闪的时刻，这其实是一个危险的假话。
It makes us feel inadequate because we feel like we haven't had ours yet.
这让我们感到我们的准备还不充分，
And it prevents people with seeds of good ideas from ever getting started in the first place.
这会阻止那些拥有好想法的人去开始行动。
Oh, and you know what else movies get wrong about innovation?
对了，你知道电影当中还有什么是对创新的误解吗？

任何为了更大愿景工作的人都可能会被称为疯子，即使你最终获得成功。
Anyone taking on a complex problem is gonna get blamed for not fully understanding it, even though it's impossible to know everything upfront.
任何为了复杂问题工作的人都会因为不能全面了解而被指责，即使你不可能事先了解一切。
Anyone taking initiative will always get criticized for moving too fast, because there's always someone who wants to slow you down.
任何抓住主动权先行一步的人总会因为步子太快而受到批评，因为总是有人想让你慢下来。
In our society, we often don't take on big things because we're so afraid of making mistakes
在我们的社会里，我们并不经常做一些伟大的事，因为我们害怕犯错。
that we ignore all the things wrong today if we do nothing.
如果我们什么都不做，我们就忽视了今天所有的错误。
The reality is, anything we do today is gonna have issues in the future.
事实上，今天我们所做的任何事情将来都会有问题。
But that can't keep us from started.
但这不能阻止我们开始。
So what are we waiting for? It is time for our generation-defining great works.
那我们还在等什么呢？现在轮到我们这一代人定义“伟大成就”的时候了。
How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved manufacturing and installing solar panels?

How about curing all diseases and getting people involved by asking volunteers to share their health data, track their health data and share their genomes?

今天，我们可能要花上50倍的价格去治病，
treating people who are sick as we invest finding cures so people don’t get sick in the first place.
却不是试着找到一种预防方法让人类第一时间无法染上疾病。
That makes no sense. We can fix this.
这并不合理，我们可以解决这个问题。
How about modernizing democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyone can learn?
但是，如何让每个人都能在网上投票实现民主现代化，或是通过个性化教育让每个人都能学习？

所有的这些在我们能力范围内是可以实现的，
Let's do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role.
让每个人在我们社会中发挥其应有的作用来做这些事情。
Let's do big things, not just to create progress, but to create purpose.
让我们一起去做吧，不仅要进步，更是要创造目的。
So taking on big meaningful projects together is the first thing we can do to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

当普莉希拉从哈佛毕业后，她成了一名老师，
and before she'd do education work with me, she told me that I needed to get my own experience teaching a class.

At first, I complained: "you know, I'm kind of busy. I'm running this company."
