Zuckerberg, take my money! (7)
You have to give credit where credit is due.
All I can say is ... Respect.

Increased my opinion of Zuck greatly.
For me, personally, this is the meaning of life - to make it a better place for the future generation.
Our biological goal is to reproduce - Our present goal is to nurture and preserve the young minds of tomorrow's generation...
Great to see there's hope in this world and re-enforces the quote from Mahatma Gandhi - “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
He is so right when mentioning that 'headlines often focus on what's wrong' !
When you follow the news you can hear endless negative things, but what about any Good news?!
In my opinion we should get more balanced data, to keep a closer track of new technical developments, important events all over the world, and key stuff with huge potential to help you grow both personally and professionally.
There's no doubt in my mind that our world is improving all the time in every aspect.
According to the Law of Attraction theory, expansion is only possible because there's contrast (i.e. "undesired" occurrences). It's contrast that drives our desire for improvements, which in turn causes expansion. And the reason why things aren't improving more quickly is because many people are fixating on what is wrong right now, instead of looking towards improvements that are not only possible, but inevitable.
This is also why I haven't watched/read the news for many years now. The media always takes the small percentage of what's going wrong in the world, blows it all out of proportion, and broadcasts it. Meanwhile, there are all these other great things that are going on around the world. If we'd all focus on those more, we'd all be happier beings, and the world would improve even faster (actually it already has - I mean look at the advancements we've made in the last few decades compared to say the past 1000 years). 
Sorry for the long-windedness - it's just that what Zuckerberg said about focusing on the positive really struck a chord.

Found this article thought provoking on the subject. 100% think it's admirable, and can respect what he wrote about in his letter... but think the below is courageous and probably more needed.
Excerpt from the last page:
If you are Mark Zuckerberg and have $45 billion, it is easy to live a lavish lifestyle with only 1% of it.
What would be hard–and admirable–would be for Zuckerberg to stand up in a meaningful way for freedom, in any area or every area, particularly for the billions who lack it most.
Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg, in the face of the recent massacre of Parisians by jihadists bent on enslaving the world to Islamic law, condemned jihadism as a threat to freedom and civilization.
Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg, in the face of an ongoing summit in Paris to outlaw the use of the vast majority of affordable, reliable energy, condemned the environmentalist leaders who oppose energy from fossil fuel, nuclear and hydroelectric sources as a threat to freedom and prosperity.
Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg, in the face of his fellow billionaires condescendingly giving the impoverished world handouts instead of support for freedom movements, created an initiative to promote political-economic freedom around the world.
If Mark Zuckerberg did any of those things he would make a huge, positive difference in the world. But those things would be hard. And he doesn’t do them.
Neither does Bill Gates. Neither does Warren Buffett.
And thus what we have is a world in which the world’s most brilliant business minds, minds that have reached their potential only because of freedom, do absolutely nothing to promote freedom. When was the last time that you saw a prominent billionaire businessman take a courageous stand for freedom, a stand that would invite disapproval but was nevertheless the right thing to do?
I hope it has happened more times than I can remember. I know that it needs to happen much, much more. I know I didn’t see it in Mark Zuckerberg’s letter.
He is basically creating a way to take the money out without paying taxes.
