On Motivational and Inspirational Mantra Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Commencement Address Success is never a straight line—it’s a journey filled with setbacks, failures, and countless attempts. Facebook wasn’t my first project. I built chat systems, games, study tools, and music players before. Every failure was a lesson, a stepping stone toward something greater. And I’m not alone in this. J.K. Rowling faced 12 rejections before bringing Harry Potter to life. Beyoncé wrote hundreds of songs before crafting the magic of Halo. These icons didn’t let rejection stop them—they used it as fuel to push further. Remember: the greatest successes are born from the freedom to fail, to learn, and to grow. So, embrace the failures, stay committed, and trust the process. You’re one step closer to greatness than you realize. Media - Harvard University on YT @harvard
