And now it's our generation's turn to do great things. Now I know, maybe you're thinking, " I don't know how to build a dam. I don't know how to get a million people involved in anything."

现在轮到我们这一代人去做伟大的事情了。我明白，也许你在想，“我不会建大坝，也不知道如何召集上百万人来做事。”

Well, let me tell you a secret. No one does when they begin. Ideas don't come out fully formed. They only become clear as you work on them. You just have to get started.

但是，我告诉你一个秘密。没有人一开始就什么都会。大家的想法也并不是一开始就成型的。只有当你开始行动的时候，想法才会越来越清晰。所以，行动起来！

If I had to know everything about connecting people before I got started, I never would've built Facebook.

如果说，我必须在创建Facebook(脸书)之前，就完全知道如何建立人与人之间的联系的话，那么我永远也建不成Facebook(脸书)。

Movies and pop culture just get this all wrong. The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie. It makes us feel inadequate, because we feel like we haven't had ours yet, and it prevents people with seeds of good ideas from ever getting started in the first place.

电影和流行文化都误导了我们。“灵光一现的‘尤里卡’时刻”（通过神秘灵感获得重大发现的时刻）就是一个危险的谎言。这个观点让人觉得自己很不足，因为我们总觉得自己还没有出现“灵光一现的‘尤里卡’时刻”。因此，许多有想法的人也就此埋没，从未行动。
