Every year Mark Zuckerberg take on a personal challenge to learn new things and grow outside of work. In the past he has run 365 miles, built a simple AI for home, read 25 books and learned Mandarin.
Here is Mark’s new personal challenge for 2017, “to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year. I’ve spent significant time in many states already, so I’ll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge. My hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they’re living, working and thinking about the future.”
While giving the reasons of taking up this as a challenge, Mark wrote on his FB page, “It seems we are at a turning point in history. For decades, technology and globalization have made us more productive and connected. This has created many benefits, but for a lot of people it has also made life more challenging.”

Also, elaborating his work and his dreams, the Facebook founder wrote, “My work is about connecting the world and giving everyone a voice. I want to personally hear more of those voices this year. It will help me lead the work at Facebook and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative so we can make the most positive impact as the world enters an important new period.”
He also elaborated on how he plans to fulfil his dreams, “My trips this year will take different forms — road trips with Priscilla, stops in small towns and universities, visits to our offices across the country, meetings with teachers and scientists, and trips to fun places you recommend along the way.”
To bring more engagement from people across the world and the places he visits, Mark will post more in future about how everyone around the world can join in.
