Last night I was listening to Mark zuckerberg's harvard =ommencement speech.

"No=, an entrepreneurial culture thrives when it's easy to try lots of=new ideas. Facebook wasn't the first thing I built. I also built g=mes, chat systems, study tools and music players. I'm not alone. J= Bowling got rejected 12 times before publishing Harry Potter. Even Beyonc= had to make hundreds of songs to get Halo. The greatest successes come fr=m having the freedom to fail.

But today, we have a level of weal=h inequality that hurts everyone. When you don't have the freedom =o take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose. Righ= now our society is way over-indexed on rewarding success and we don =99t do nearly enough to make it easy for everyone to take lots of shots.q=iv> Let's face it. There is something wrong with our system wh=n I can leave here and make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions=of students can't afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a=business.

Look, I know a lot of entrepreneurs, and I don =99t know a single person who gave up on starting a business because they m=ght not make enough money. But I know lots of people who haven't p=rsued dreams because they didn't have a cushion to fall back on if=they failed.

We all know we don't succeed just by having=a good idea or working hard. We succeed by being lucky too. If I had to su=port my family growing up instead of having time to code, if I didn =99t know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn=E2 t be standing here today. If we're honest, we all know how=much luck we've had."
