臉書執行長Mark Zuckerberg 每年都會幫自己設下一個新挑戰，像是過去幾年的學中文、慢跑等等，2016年的目標則是獨力開發一個人工智慧管家。

這些挑戰很有意思，因為：

1.這些目標都跟臉書營運沒有直接關聯，是Mark Zuckerberg 追求個人的卓越。也就是說，在經營管理一個如此龐大的組織的同時，他也沒有犧牲自己的人生，臉書的好壞歸臉書，個人還是要成長。

2.實踐這些目標獲得的，都不是「可量化的價值」。白話一點就是，也賺不到錢啦。他學中文不是為了省下請翻譯的錢，或是可以接翻譯case；跑步也是，並不是為了成為一個專業的跑者。
而是完成與自己約定好的事情之後，心裡那股「我做到了！」的滿足。
這種滿足，是花錢也買不到的。

光是這兩點，就很值得我們學習；在華人價值觀下成長的我們，自己的人生常常（自願或非自願）被犧牲掉，也過度追求「可量化的價值」，也就是習慣用賺多少錢、開什麼車、買什麼房來衡量自己或他人。

稍早的時候，他宣布今年的挑戰是拜訪全美國的用戶，近距離面對面，了解他們對於未來的想法跟看法。

靠，聽起來不就跟我們的環島感謝祭有87%像？
這就證明了經營國際品牌，都從深入了解用戶開始。

Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn new things and grow outside of my work. In recent years, I've run 365 miles, built a simple AI for my home, read 25 books and learned Mandarin.

My personal challenge for 2017 is to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year. I've spent significant time in many states already, so I'll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge.

After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future.

Priscilla and I have enjoyed taking road trips together since we started dating. Recently, I've traveled around the world and visited many cities, and now I'm excited to explore more of our country and meet more people here.

Going into this challenge, it seems we are at a turning point in history. For decades, technology and globalization have made us more productive and connected. This has created many benefits, but for a lot of people it has also made life more challenging. This has contributed to a greater sense of division than I have felt in my lifetime. We need to find a way to change the game so it works for everyone.

My work is about connecting the world and giving everyone a voice. I want to personally hear more of those voices this year. It will help me lead the work at Facebook and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative so we can make the most positive impact as the world enters an important new period.

My trips this year will take different forms -- road trips with Priscilla, stops in small towns and universities, visits to our offices across the country, meetings with teachers and scientists, and trips to fun places you recommend along the way.

I've enjoyed doing these challenges with our community and I'll post tomorrow about how everyone around the world can join in. I'm looking forward to this challenge and I hope to see you out there!
