Mark Zuckerberg Commencement Address at Harvard

Love the commencement address delievered by Fackbook CEO. Love the story he told:

Remember when I told you about that class I taught at the Boys and Girls Club? One day after class I was talking to them about college, and one of my top students raised his hand and said he wasn't sure he could go because he's undocumented. He didn't know if they'd let him in.

Last year I took him out to breakfast for his birthday. I wanted to get him a present, so I asked him and he started talking about students he saw struggling and said "You know, I'd really just like a book on social justice."I was blown away. Here's a young guy who has every reason to be cynical. He didn't know if the country he calls home -- the only one he's known - would deny him his dream of going to college. But he wasn't feeling sorry for himself. He wasn't even thinking of himself. He has a greater sense of purpose, and he's going to bring people along with him.
