“Why you should be nice to people” – Mark Zuckerberg’s Havard speech
During his rousing speech at Havard’s 366th commencement ceremony, Mark Zuckerberg told the audience why it is important to be nice to people.
The 33-year-old who had dropped out of the prestigious school to found Facebook, recalled how he met his friend, and now partner, KX Jin.
Mark recalled his first day of lecture, how disheveled he looked because he was late, and how no one was willing to associate with him.
He said his first lecture “was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didn’t realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front.
“I couldn’t figure out why no one would talk to me — except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people.”
Mark also said elsewhere in his speech how he met his wife, Priscilla at the university, shortly before he dropped out.
