Please Enjoy Mark Zuckerberg Give A Lecture In Chinese [Video]

I just gave my first ever speech in Chinese at Tsinghua University in Beijing -- on why you need a strong sense of mission to change the world.This was also my first real speech in any language sharing how I started thinking about Facebook's mission, what has kept me going through challenging times and what our mission means now looking ahead for our community of 1.5 billion people.This video also has English subtitles and you may find it interesting if you're thinking about building something or are interested in Facebook's history.The themes of believing in your mission, caring more deeply than anyone else and always looking ahead are relevant to anything you might build.Last year I joined the board of Tsinghua's School of Economics and Management. This is a great center of innovation and many of the students here will become global leaders in technology, business and government. It's an honor to have the opportunity to help this university and talk with its students. I look forward to coming back again next year!

There’s no better way to woo a crowd than by speaking to them in their own language. And Mark Zuckerberg did just that when he gave business advice in a 20 minute speech in Mandarin at Beijing’s Tsinghua University. In the speech, he insisted that it is important to stay true to your vision, care more than anyone else and fight to stay relevant and ahead of the game. As an example within the Facebook experience, Mark explained that when the company introduced the New Feed in 2006, 10% of its users threatened to quit.

Today, that would be like 150 million people telling us they were going to quit. We care about what people think. But we also know that connecting people is important. Most companies would be afraid of losing so many people, so they would take the easy path and give in … We knew News Feed was important for our mission, so we stayed strong.

Mark is actually on the board of Tsinghua’s School of Economics and Management and took part in a 100% Mandarin question-and-answer session in 2014. Go Zuckerberg.
