Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a speech at Harvard's graduation ceremony yesterday and received a diploma after 12 years dropout to develop the world's largest social media. He said: "The greatest success comes from the right to be free from failure." Zuckerberg claims that this is a luxury he has, while many do not.

"If I had to help my family instead of having some programming time, if I did not know if I would still be okay if Facebook failed, I would not be standing here today," Zuckerberg said. He said that thanks to his father as a dentist, his family can be financially comfortable.

"To be honest, we all here know how lucky we are," Zuckerberg said.

Before Facebook, he also made a lot of ideas - making games, chat systems, learning tools and music player software. "I'm not the only one. JK Rowling was denied twelve times before publishing Harry Potter, and even Beyoncé had to go through hundreds of new songs to get Halo. Income inequality is causing people to disadvantage” , he said.

At age 33, Zuckerberg owns $ 63.3 billion in assets, Founder and CEO of Facebook. “Our society has this problem: I can drop out and earn billions of dollars in 10 years. But millions of other students can not afford tuition, so how can start a business " he said. So, he thinks the world needs to find ways to give people a chance to try something new.

Basic Basic Income (UBI) is a popular idea recently. It is a system of wealth distribution, dating back to the 1960s. Accordingly, participants will be paid regular monthly income by the government to cover their living expenses without any obligation.

Zuckerberg supports this program. He acknowledged that one of the hurdles of UBI is capital. Therefore, he thinks that he and other successful people should solve this problem.

"Of course, we need money to help people have the freedom to pursue their goals, and people like me should contribute to it," he said.

Zuckerberg and his wife - Priscilla Chan founded the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative - using their assets to solve social inequality. He said that it would give people the opportunity to start a business without fear of anything. "Finding our purpose is not enough." The challenge for our generation is to create a world where everyone has a purpose to pursue, "he said.
