▎#小編的晚間閒聊 ▎
臉書執行長Mark Zuckerberg 每年都會幫自己設下一個挑戰目標，像是學中文、慢跑、開發人工智慧管家等。這兩日，他在臉書宣布今年的挑戰是拜訪美國各州，直接與用戶近距離面對面，了解他們生活、工作，以及對於未來的想法。
Mark Zuckerberg 的挑戰其實很有趣，而且與臉書營運沒有直接相關，純粹在追求個人的卓越。完成之後，也不會有什麼獎賞，而是獲得一種「達到自己與自己約定」的滿足。
在華人的價值觀裡，提到「目標」，我們常會功利性的設下「買車」、「買房」、「存第一桶金」等，久而久之，也就習以為常的以金錢或地位來衡量一個人，只是，這樣真的好嗎？
新的一年，若你還尚未訂下新目標~
不妨也給自己一個personal challenge。
記住，那只是「自己與自己的約定」，不需向他人交代，也不必在意他人眼光，相信你應會獲得意外收穫。
(小編賊賊表示：老闆，我可以挑戰每日準時下班嗎？)

I've really enjoyed doing personal challenges with our community -- like running and reading -- and I'd love for just as many people to join me in traveling this year.
I'm calling this challenge A Year of Travel, and here's a link to the group where we can discuss our experiences from all around the world:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/YearofTravel/
I've also set up the group A Year of Traveling the US for those also traveling in this country. For those focusing on traveling your own countries, I encourage you to create your own local groups as well.
While I'll be traveling around the US, the purpose of this challenge is relevant everywhere. We could all benefit from listening and learning about how more people are living, working and thinking about the future. So my challenge for anyone who wants to join is: can you visit 12 new places you've never been, meet someone new and learn about their life?
Visiting 12 new places is a lot -- it's one new place every month. The places don't need to be far away. A half-hour drive, bus or train ride to meet people in a community you don't normally interact with counts. A road trip could be a way to meet people in 5-10 different places in a week or less. And even if you don't visit 12 new places, meeting people in any new community can be a meaningful experience.
I hope to see many of you out there. Here's to a year of new perspectives!
