Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for. Purpose is what creates true happiness.

A história por trás desta citação
Zuckerberg, who famously dropped out of Harvard to build Facebook, returned to deliver the commencement address. He told the JFK-janitor story — when Kennedy visited NASA and asked a janitor what he was doing, the man replied 'Mr. President, I'm helping put a man on the moon.' Zuckerberg argued that finding your own purpose wasn't enough; the challenge for their generation was creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose, especially as technology and automation eliminate jobs and community membership declines.
