[智库|专题]。

扎克伯格在周二公布的致女儿Max的长信中表示,他们夫妇将通过一个新的实体,ChanZuckerberg Initiative, LLC.,实现这项慈善捐助。捐助款项将用于“个性化学习,疾病治疗,连接人们和建立强大的社区。”

“我还将继续担任Facebook的CEO很多年,但这些问题太重要了,不能等到你或我们年纪更大才开始。”他写道,“在年轻的时候开始,我们希望在我们的人生里能看到长期的收益。”

“今天,我和你的妈妈正致力于在我们的人生中,做出一点小的贡献,来帮助解决这些挑战。”扎克伯格写道,“当你有下一代Chan Zuckerberg家庭成员的时候,我们的Chan Zuckerberg Initiative也开始参与到世界各地人们的当中,增进人们的潜能,推动下一代所有孩子之间的平等。”

Dear Max,

Your mother and I don"t yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future.Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore itfully. You"ve already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.

Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.

While headlines often focus on what"s wrong, in many ways the world is getting better. Health isimproving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is growing. People are connecting. Technologicalprogress in every field means your life should be dramatically better than ours today.

We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but also because wehave a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation.

We believe all lives have equal value, and that includes the many more people who will live infuture generations than live today. Our society has an obligation to invest now to improve thelives of all those coming into this world, not just those already here.

But right now, we don"t always collectively direct our resources at the biggest opportunities andproblems your generation will face.

Consider disease. Today we spend about 50 times more as a society treating people who aresick than we invest in research so you won"t get sick in the first place.

Medicine has only been a real science for less than 100 years, and we"ve already seen completecures for some diseases and good progress for others. As technology accelerates, we have areal shot at preventing, curing or managing all or most of the rest in the next 100 years.

Today, most people die from five things -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative andinfectious diseases -- and we can make faster progress on these and other problems.

Once we recognize that your generation and your children"s generation may not have to sufferfrom disease, we collectively have a responsibility to tilt our investments a bit more towards thefuture to make this reality. Your mother and I want to do our part.

Curing disease will take time. Over short periods of five or ten years, it may not seem like we"remaking much of a difference. But over the long term, seeds planted now will grow, and one day,you or your children will see what we can only imagine: a world without suffering from disease.

There are so many opportunities just like this. If society focuses more of its energy on thesegreat challenges, we will leave your generation a much better world.

Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potential and promotingequality.

Advancing human potential is about pushing the boundaries on how great a human life can be.

Can you learn and experience 100 times more than we do today?

Can our generation cure disease so you live much longer and healthier lives?

Can we connect the world so you have access to every idea, person and opportunity?

Can we harness more clean energy so you can invent things we can"t conceive of today whileprotecting the environment?

Can we cultivate entrepreneurship so you can build any business and solve any challenge to growpeace and prosperity?

Promoting equality is about making sure everyone has access to these opportunities --regardless of the nation, families or circumstances they are born into.

Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the greatness of humanprogress.

Today we are robbed of the potential so many have to offer. The only way to achieve our fullpotential is to channel the talents, ideas and contributions of every person in the world.

Can our generation eliminate poverty and hunger?

Can we provide everyone with basic healthcare?

Can we build inclusive and welcoming communities?

Can we nurture peaceful and understanding relationships between people of all nations?

Can we truly empower everyone -- women, children, underrepresented minorities, immigrantsand the unconnected?

If our generation makes the right investments, the answer to each of these questions can beyes -- and hopefully within your lifetime.

This mission -- advancing human potential and promoting equality -- will require a new approachfor all working towards these goals.

We must make long term investments over 25,

50 or even 100 years. The greatest challengesrequire very long time horizons and cannot be solved by short term thinking.

We must engage directly with the people we serve. We can"t empower people if we don"tunderstand the needs and desires of their communities.

We must build technology to make change. Many institutions invest money in these challenges,but most progress comes from productivity gains through innovation.

We must participate in policy and advocacy to shape debates. Many institutions are unwilling todo this, but progress must be supported by movements to be sustainable.

We must back the strongest and most independent leaders in each field. Partnering with expertsis more effective for the mission than trying to lead efforts ourselves.

We must take risks today to learn lessons for tomorrow. We"re early in our learning and manythings we try won"t work, but we"ll listen and learn and keep improving.

Our experience with personalized learning, internet access, and community education and healthhas shaped our philosophy.

Our generation grew up in classrooms where we all learned the same things at the same paceregardless of our interests or needs.

Your generation will set goals for what you want to become -- like an engineer, health worker,writer or community leader. You"ll have technology that understands how you learn best andwhere you need to focus. You"ll advance quickly in subjects that interest you most, and get asmuch help as you need in your most challenging areas. You"ll explore topics that aren"t evenoffered in schools today. Your teachers will also have better tools and data to help you achieveyour goals.

Even better, students around the world will be able to use personalized learning tools over theinternet, even if they don"t live near good schools. Of course it will take more than technology togive everyone a fair start in life, but personalized learning can be one scalable way to give allchildren a better education and more equal opportunity.

We"re starting to build this technology now, and the results are already promising. Not only dostudents perform better on tests, but they gain the skills and confidence to learn anything theywant. And this journey is just beginning. The technology and teaching will rapidly improve everyyear you"re in school.

Your mother and I have both taught students and we"ve seen what it takes to make this work.It will take working with the strongest leaders in education to help schools around the world adoptpersonalized learning. It will take engaging with communities, which is why we"re starting in ourSan Francisco Bay Area community. It will take building new technology and trying new ideas.And it will take making mistakes and learning many lessons before achieving these goals.

But once we understand the world we can create for your generation, we have a responsibility asa society to focus our investments on the future to make this reality.

Together, we can do this. And when we do, personalized learning will not only help students ingood schools, it will help provide more equal opportunity to anyone with an internet connection.

Many of the greatest opportunities for your generation will come from giving everyone access tothe internet.

People often think of the internet as just for entertainment or communication. But for themajority of people in the world, the internet can be a lifeline.

It provides education if you don"t live near a good school. It provides health information on howto avoid diseases or raise healthy children if you don"t live near a doctor. It provides financialservices if you don"t live near a bank. It provides access to jobs and opportunities if you don"tlive in a good economy.

The internet is so important that for every 10 people who gain internet access, about oneperson is lifted out of poverty and about one new job is created.

Yet still more than half of the world"s population -- more than 4 billion people -- don"t have accessto the internet.

If our generation connects them, we can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Wecan also help hundreds of millions of children get an education and save millions of lives byhelping people avoid disease.

This is another long term effort that can be advanced by technology and partnership. It will takeinventing new technology to make the internet more affordable and bring access to unconnectedareas. It will take partnering with governments, non-profits and companies. It will take engagingwith communities to understand what they need. Good people will have different views on thebest path forward, and we will try many efforts before we succeed.

But together we can succe

ed and create a more equal world.

Technology can"t solve problems by itself. Building a better world starts with building strong andhealthy communities.

Children have the best opportunities when they can learn. And they learn best when they"rehealthy.

Health starts early -- with loving family, good nutrition and a safe, stable environment.

Children who face traumatic experiences early in life often develop less healthy minds and bodies.Studies show physical changes in brain development leading to lower cognitive ability.

Your mother is a doctor and educator, and she has seen this firsthand.

If you have an unhealthy childhood, it"s difficult to reach your full potential.

If you have to wonder whether you"ll have food or rent, or worry about abuse or crime, then it"sdifficult to reach your full potential.

If you fear you"ll go to prison rather than college because of the color of your skin, or that yourfamily will be deported because of your legal status, or that you may be a victim of violencebecause of your religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, then it"s difficult to reach your fullpotential.

We need institutions that understand these issues are all connected. That"s the philosophy of thenew type of school your mother is building.

By partnering with schools, health centers, parent groups and local governments, and byensuring all children are well fed and cared for starting young, we can start to treat theseinequities as connected. Only then can we collectively start to give everyone an equalopportunity.

It will take many years to fully develop this model. But it"s another example of how advancinghuman potential and promoting equality are tightly linked. If we want either, we must first buildinclusive and healthy communities.

For your generation to live in a better world, there is so much more our generation can do.

Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solvethese challenges. I will continue to serve as Facebook"s CEO for many, many years to come,but these issues are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work. Bystarting at a young age, we hope to see compounding benefits throughout our lives.

As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the ChanZuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promoteequality for all children in the next generation. Our initial areas of focus will be personalizedlearning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion -- during our lives toadvance this mission. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources andtalents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, workingalongside many others.

We"ll share more details in the coming months once we settle into our new family rhythm andreturn from our maternity and paternity leaves. We understand you"ll have many questionsabout why and how we"re doing this.

As we become parents and enter this next chapter of our lives, we want to share our deepappreciation for everyone who makes this possible.

We can do this work only because we have a strong global community behind us. BuildingFacebook has created resources to improve the world for the next generation. Every member ofthe Facebook community is playing a part in this work.

We can make progress towards these opportunities only by standing on the shoulders of experts-- our mentors, partners and many incredible people whose contributions built these fields.

And we can only focus on serving this community and this mission because we are surroundedby loving family, supportive friends and amazing colleagues. We hope you will have such deepand inspiring relationships in your life too.

Max, we love you and feel a great responsibility to leave the world a better place for you and allchildren. We wish you a life filled with the same love, hope and joy you give us. We can"t wait tosee what you bring to this world.

Love,

Mom and Dad
