众所周知,每当新年伊始,脸书网创始人扎克伯格都会给自己设定一个挑战:
2009年挑战每天戴领带上班
2017年,小扎一如既往地制定了他的新年挑战,一起来看看究竟是什么内容吧。
Mark Zuckerberg really wants to escape the Silicon Valley bubble.
The Facebook CEO and cofounder said Tuesday that his New Year's resolution is to visit and meet with people from every state in the US by the end of 2017.
'I've spent significant time in many states already, so I'll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge,' Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.
Zuckerberg is famous for his ambitious -- some might say eccentric - New Year's challenges, including learning Mandarin, meeting a new person every day and only eating meat that he kills himself.
In 2016, he tackled two challenges: running 365 miles in a year and designing a personal AI assistant to help automate tasks in his home.
2016年12月,扎克伯格推出了自己开发的家庭智能语音助手“贾维斯”,而且还邀请到好莱坞大明星摩根·弗里曼为其配音。“贾维斯”可以控制家里点灯的开关时间、根据个人口味播放音乐、烤面包、提醒他们一岁的女儿上汉语课、识别来访者并为其自动开门。
此外,为了完成16年的跑步目标,扎克伯格还创造了一个新名词“雾霾跑步”。大家还记得去年3月小扎在雾霾中跑步经过天安门广场的照片吧,小编忍不住为他的坚持点赞。
This year's challenge was informed by what Zuckerberg describes as a 'turning point in history' caused by the combination of 'technology and globalization.'
While Zuckerberg does not refer to the 2016 election explicitly, he alludes to a 'greater sense of division' in the country and a need to make sure 'the game... works for everyone.'
'After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future,' Zuckerberg says.
After Donald Trump won the presidential election, some in Silicon Valley admitted they were disconnected with much of the country. One SpaceX exec, who previously worked for Zuckerberg, went so far as to quit his job to travel the country and bridge the 'Growing gulf... between coastal elites and communities left behind by globalization.'
Now Zuckerberg is following suit - while keeping his day job, of course.
'Recently, I've traveled around the world and visited many cities,' Zuckerberg wrote in his post. 'Now I'm excited to explore more of our country and meet more people here.'
扎克伯格称,挑战自我的目的是为了学习新事物,在完成工作之余获得更多成长。而他每一年也都基本上实现了自己的目标。
挑战自己当然不是小扎的专利,但他在这方面的的确确是一个值得学习的榜样。
每当新年倒计时的时候,朋友圈里最不缺乏的就是“My New Year's Resolution”这样的话题。不过,最常见的内容却是这样的:
我今年的最大愿望就是完成去年未完成的计划……
我2017年的目标就是搞定2016年那些原定于2015年完成的安排……
人们经常以没时间、太忙了为完成不目标找借口,但是你真的比扎克伯格忙吗?
对于大部分人来说,可能王健林“一个亿的小目标”真的不小,想要实现也确实不是一朝一夕的事情。但是像扎克伯格的小目标,比如每天坚持跑1英里,每个月读两本书,只要努力,相信每个人都可以做到。 |
