Mark Zuckerberg teared up during his commencement①speech to Harvard graduates,telling them it is up to their generation to care about others and to fi ght inequality.

He told the graduates that he was scheduled to②speak to the school board after building the website Facemash, an early precursor③of Facebook that allowed students to compare the attractiveness④of their fellow classmates.

His parents showed up to the school to help him pack up⑤his belongings, and his friends threw him a goodbye party, where he met his future wife Priscilla Chan in line for the bathroom.

Zuckerberg recounted⑥: "In what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: 'I'm going to get kicked out⑦in three days, so we need to go on a date⑧quickly.' "

He joked: "Actually, anyone of you graduating can use that line."

"I didn't end up getting kicked out - I did that to myself. Priscilla and I started dating."

"Without Facemash I wouldn't have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here."

在哈佛大學(xué)發(fā)表畢業(yè)演講時(shí)，馬克·扎克伯格痛哭流涕，他向畢業(yè)生們說道，他們這一代人的使命就是要互幫互助、消除不平等。

他對畢業(yè)生們說，他曾經(jīng)因?yàn)閯?chuàng)辦了Facemash（Facebook前身網(wǎng)站，允許學(xué)生們評比學(xué)校女生照片）而被哈佛校董約談。

他的父母來到學(xué)校幫他打包行李，而他的朋友們則為他開了一個(gè)告別晚會，在聚會上排隊(duì)上廁所的人群中扎克伯格第一次邂逅了未來的妻子普莉希拉·陳。

扎克伯格回憶道：“最浪漫的一件事是我對她說：‘三天后我就要退學(xué)了，所以我們約會得抓緊點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間?！?/p>

他開玩笑說：“事實(shí)上，你們所有畢業(yè)生都可以用這個(gè)套路?！?/p>

“學(xué)校并沒有開除我——是我自己選擇退學(xué)的。我還收獲了一個(gè)女朋友?！?/p>

“如果沒有Facemash的話，我就不會邂逅普莉希拉，我就不會邂逅這個(gè)我生命中最重要的人，因此說Facemash是我在哈佛的最大成就也沒有錯(cuò)?！?/p>
