wasn't so long ago that you know I was a student and you know sitting in in a
seat in auditorium like you guys are here today listening to I remember very
specifically this time when Bill Gates came to talk it at Harvard and I'm like
wow how do you how do you do that and
but you know the trick is is that the media likes to sensationalize this as if
you have some Eureka moment or you are some singular person who can't build
something on your own and that's just not how the world works you know when I
was in school I built a lot of stuff that I just liked building there was not
a single moment when I when I had some revelation that Facebook was going to be
awesome that's not maybe how the media or movies or whatever would like to
portray things it's not it's much less exciting but the reality is I think most
I services in the world that reach the scale that Facebook has you start off
building something that you care about and you know you don't necessarily think
it's gonna be that big I didn't you know I built Facebook the
first version of Facebook for my college community because I wanted to be able to
connect to the people in my school and I remember very clearly talking to my
friends at the time and saying you know it's how cool is it that we
have built this community for our school you know one day it's gonna be awesome
when somebody else builds this for the world because something like this needs
to exist for the world but it didn't even occur to me that you know my
friends and I might be able to play a role in doing that right just we were
college students right I mean we'd have any engineers to work with or servers or
resources or anything like that and you know there are these huge companies that
deliver products for hundreds of millions of people right there's new
hires assumed that it was gonna be like Microsoft or Google or someone would
build this for the world and what basically just happened is that each
step along the way we just kind of kept doing the next thing and growing from
there and you know there were teams inside these other companies that that
thought social media was important and we're working on it but there were all
these different memes and narratives in the world you know people would say oh
well you know this is just a fad people are gonna use it but then they're gonna
stop so you know so a lot of the teams who were working on didn't take it that
seriously or you know the higher-ups and those companies didn't care so then get
resources and we just kept going and going and then people would say alright
well alright fine so maybe people are using it but it's never gonna make any
money all right I mean social media doesn't make any money then we just kind
of kept going and going and then pretty soon we had a service that was bigger
than any of these other ones and that kind of is how we are here where we are
there's no magic a lot of times I think people just get afraid because you know
often your dream is it's it seems like it's so so far off but what if you just
kind of focus on building stuff that you think is good and and you keep on going
at each step along the way and don't let people deter you from that and just
really care about what you're doing and kind of don't give up but each step
along the way then you know I think that's how you that's how you build
something good eat write read read if the president were here one
of his greatest strengths is reading that's one of the reasons why he's a
good communicator why he's such a good writer he's a voracious reader so we're
trying to get our girls no matter what to just be to love reading and to
challenge themselves with what they read and not just read the gossip books but
to push themselves beyond and do things that maybe they wouldn't do so I would
encourage you all to to read read read just keep reading and writing is another
skill it's practice it's practice the more you write the better you get
drafts our kids are learning the first draft means nothing you're going to do
7/10 drafts that's writing it's not failure it's not not the teacher not
liking you because it's all marked up and read and when you get to be a good
writer you mark your own stuff and read and you rewrite and you rewrite and you
rewrite that's what writing is and if you come out with those skills and then
you're confident and you can articulate and you can stand up straight and look
anybody in the eye and say this is who I am it's a pleasure to meet you that's
one of the things we try to do with our mentoring program with young girls my
message to them is if you can walk into the White House and meet the first lady
and say my name is how are you and look me in the eye then there's nothing you
can't do that's why it's important if you guys walked here our sitting here in
front of all these people standing tall asking questions using your voice you
have to practice that these arenas just show up again and again and then you
just get used to it the nerves go away and you start
relaxing into your own abilities but it's practice I'm saying this is the
time more than ever that you want to begin to inoculate yourself with
positive words coming to conventions showing up on meetings being on the
calls to make yourself unstoppable to get out of your mind the polluting
negative thoughts that's causing most people to go through life being stuck
because their volunteer victims somebody said that many people died aged 25 and
don't get buried until they're 65 because they got so much garbage and
their minds here because you've got a clear vision
of what you want and where you're going give yourselves a round of applause come
on bring energy level up yes yes you want more you want more you're different
you're different than everybody else don't worry if they don't get it don't
try and convince people to do this business a person convinced against
their will is of the same opinion still you are not like everybody else you can
walk outside and find pigeons but if you're looking for Eagles it's going to
take you a minute you are different it's lonely at the top how many of you know
as lonely at the top raise your hands it's lonely at the top but you eat better
that's what I'm talking about you're different
one great entrepreneur said I choose not to be a common man it's my right to be
uncommon if I can I'll seek opportunity not security I do not wish to be a kept
citizen humbled and dull by having the state look after me I want to take the
calculated risk to dream and to build to fail and to succeed
I refuse them there from hand to mouth I prefer the challenges of life to the
guaranteed existence the thrill of fulfillment to the still
calm of utopia I will never call before name master nor bin to any threat it's
my heritage to stand erect proud and unafraid the face to whirl bolian say
this I have done you showed up because you're building a business that you can
stand and say I did this I did this this is my dream give yourselves a round of
applause yeah yes yes you once said that if you were
growing up in this generation that you would have a field day because you would
take their souls what did you mean by that the younger generation quits not
everybody so I got it I got put that people get their butt hurt so not
everybody most of this generation quits the second they get talked to you did
this wrong you did this wrong or they get yelled at it's so easy to be great
nowadays because everybody else is most people are weak this this is a softened
generation so if you have any mental toughness any of any ability be of any
fraction of self-discipline the ability to not want to do it but still do it
people have a hard thing understand I hate to run and what makes me so crazy
it doesn't need more people why did you run if you hate it
what are you talking about I don't want to take showers and eat either I hate
that too then the whole that's a life man that innit
it wasn't until I changed that mentality that I became somebody I hate it going
to school so I guess what I was dumbest that's what will one plus one is two but
if you can get through to doing things that you hate to do on the other side is
greatness that's what people are thinking by me running I am callus in my
mind I'm not training for a race I'm training for life I'm training for the
time when I get that two o'clock in the morning call that my mom is dead or
something happens tragic in life I don't fall apart I'm training my mind and my
body my spirit so it's all one so I can handle what life is going to throw at me
because the life I've lived it throws a whole bunch at you and if you're not
physically immensely prepared for that you're just gonna crumble and you're
good for nobody if you ever felt like there were times where you wanted to
quit all that music wasn't that necessarily for you like you didn't have
faith in what you were doing yeah no that's good I don't know cuz
uh quitting is never an option but have there been times where you've
maybe felt like you talked about being misunderstood before has there been
times where you've maybe felt like people weren't understanding it and then
that frustration leads you to maybe not want to continue on that path that's the s*** they give me as
that keeps me going mm-hmm that type of show right there I'm not being accepted
it's like my whole driver like people enough glue me and I just want to prove
a point I'm not as bad as I just want to know what you go with you know and
that's always helpful information um then I get out advice to everybody like
if you feel like quitting is the thing just trying to quit into
like that extra pump second win
