We’ll make long term bets that others won’t make and that will take a decade or longer to achieve their goals. We’ll learn from each project and apply those lessons to future work. That’s why we’re starting and making this commitment now while we’re still early in our careers -- so we can gain experience early and become more effective in our giving over time.Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg
