I believe that any mistake is a valuable
recipe when I was 25 I made so many
mistakes that I sometimes wondered if I
would ever do anything right I failed my
University exams three times believe me
I was rejected from more than 30 jobs
including KFC but I've never regretted
those failures in fact each one taught
me something new something that helped
me become the person and entrepreneur I am
am
today that's what I tell every young
person don't be afraid to make mistakes
because every mistake is your
teacher especially in the early years of
your career it's essential to experiment
and dare the sooner you fail the faster
you learn and the stronger you
become and you know when you go through
these difficulties you realize that
success doesn't come without obstacles
it's like I always say success is built
on the mistakes you overcome
there's no easy path but every stumble
that you value as a learning experience
is a step closer to your goal I clearly
remember each of the rejections I faced
they left their Mark but they never
stopped me when I look back I realize
that this is exactly what made me
stronger making mistakes didn't make me
Retreat on the contrary it made me move
forward with greater
determination with every know I received
I gained more confidence that something
greater was waiting for
me what kept me going was the certainty
that if I didn't persist who else
would if you're just starting out
remember that failures are not the end
of the line but the beginning of
something new what differentiates people
who Dream from those who achieve is how
they deal with their mistakes so every
time you make a mistake ask yourself
what can I learn from this because it is
in the the midst of challenges that you
will discover your true strength every
mistake you value is a stepping stone toward
toward
success when I was young I didn't know
much about business in fact what drove
me was curiosity and the desire to learn
but one thing I realized early on is
that the leader you follow makes all the
difference in your career I didn't
choose my first opportunities because of
the name of the company but because of
the leaders I admired I've always
believed that more important than the
company you work for is the boss you
follow I learned so much from my first
mentors that it shaped my vision of the
future and Innovation working with
people who share your dreams is one of
the greatest blessings you can have in
your career a good leader is not just
one who commands but one who inspires
they challenge you to think outside the
box ask questions and reinvent yourself
this is what I found in my first mentors
people who showed me that the future
belongs to those who dare to dream and
work hard and that made me understand
that it's not just about what you do but
about how you grow alongside someone who
believes in you I remember thinking several
several
times if not now when if not me
who it's this kind of mentality that a
good leader instills in you pushing you
to be the best version of
yourself following a quality leader
isn't just about learning to be a good
professional it's about becoming a
better person this goes beyond technical
skills it's about developing resilience
vision and above all the will to make a
difference you can be sure the lessons
you learn alongside a good leader are
the ones you take with you for the rest
of your life it was these lessons that
helped me form my own vision of
leadership based on inspiration rather
than command the leader who challenges
you to leave your comfort zone is the
same one who prepares you to build
something bigger in the future that's
the real strength of quality leadership
so if you're at the beginning of your
journey don't worry so much about the
name of the company you're in ask
yourself am I being inspired by the
leader I follow because it is this
inspiration that will shape the
professional and more importantly the
human being that you will become if
you're under 30 my advice is simple
follow your intuition and explore New
Paths when I was young I didn't know
much about technology but I sensed that
the internet had enormous potential it
was this intuition that led me to start
something that nobody else saw at the
time the uncertainties you face today
will be the stories that tell your
success story tomorrow when you take
risks while you're young the
possibilities are endless youth is the
perfect time to experiment try new
things and dare when I started out
everyone thought I was crazy for
believing that the internet could be so
big but I believed in my vision and
that's exactly what you should do don't
limit Yourself by other people's
expectations if you have a dream pursue
it with everything you've got even if no
one else believes in it after all
entrepreneurs must have vision and
dreams without that they're just sailing
aimlessly it's interesting to realize
that when you're young the risks are
smaller than they
seem I've always known that failures are
part of the journey so why not take a
chance that's the beauty of being a
young Entre R preneur the world is open
to your ideas and if you make a mistake
you still have time to get up and try
again the most important thing is not to
be afraid to take the first step because
as I always say if everything is ready
it's too late when I reached my 40s I
realized it was time to focus on what I
really knew how to do well but before
that I needed to explore experiment and
discover where my true abilities lay
this process of discovery only happens
when you allow yourself to make mistakes and
and
learn so while you're young don't waste
the opportunity to discover new talents
new passions and perhaps even a new
purpose remember youth passes quickly
but the lessons you learn from taking
risks and following your intuition will
stay with you forever don't wait for the
right moment to come along
make your moment happen after all when
you're young and have a dream as I often
say you never really feel poor you have
the wealth of vision and energy and
that's worth more than anything else
when I reached 40 I realized it was time
to focus on what I was really good at
during my younger years I took risks
tried new things made a lot of mistakes
and learned from every one of them but
at 40 the game
changed I knew I needed to consolidate
my strengths and focus on what made me
stand out entrepreneurship isn't just
about dreaming it's about knowing where
to put your energy to get the best
results so at this stage of life it's
crucial to identify your best skills and
work on
them I always say that Innovation
doesn't mean radically changing what you
do but rather improving what you already
do well people often think that
Innovation is about doing something
totally different but in fact true
Innovation can lie in how you improve on
what you've already mastered that's what
I did at
Alibaba we didn't start with a
revolutionary idea but with something
simple that became bigger as we
perfected our operations and
strategies at 40 you should avoid big
risks and instead focus on expanding
what you already do best
in my case I realized that our greatest
asset was helping small businesses grow
and that was the focus I put all my
attention on if you want to keep growing
at this stage of life you don't have to
change everything but refine and
strengthen the skills you already have
if you want to catch the rabbit as I
often say don't change the rabbit change
yourself this phase was also the time
when I understood the importance of
delegating I had already learned a lot
but I couldn't do everything on my
own focusing on your strengths also
means knowing what you're not so good at
and letting others who have
complimentary skills help take the
business forward a good
entrepreneur is not one who tries to do
everything but one who knows where to
put their energy and how to empower
their team to do the rest if you're in
your 40s focus on on what you do best
don't get scattered with new ideas that
could take you away from your true
strength as you mature as an
entrepreneur Clarity of purpose and a
focus on your best skills are what will
really drive your success
forward when I reached 50 I realized it
was time to start looking at the Next
Generation over the years I've built a
successful career and Company but I've
understood that the future doesn't
belong to me but to the young people who
come after
they have energy new ideas a different
way of looking at the World As Leaders
it's our duty to give them the tools and
support they need to innovate even more
than we did entrepreneurs must have
vision and dreams and part of that
vision is investing in the future I've
always believed that real Innovation
happens when you invest in people when I
empowered my team at Alibaba we saw our
growth explode and that's what we must
do with young people they need guidance
but also the freedom to experiment make
mistakes and learn from them in the end
they are the ones who will lead
tomorrow's changes my role now is to
guide them through this process sharing
the experience I have gained and
allowing them to create their own path
whenever I see young entrepreneurs I
feel an immediate connection I see in
them the same ambition I had when I
started what motivates me today is
helping these young people realize their
potential I believe that by investing in
them we are building a better future for
everyone they bring new energy and new
solutions to problems that we the
previous generation often can't solve
that's what keeps me optimistic about
the future it's funny but sometimes I'm
asked why I invest so much time in young
people when I could be enjoying the
success I've already built the answer
answer is simple it's our duty as
Leaders to pass the Baton on if we don't
who will this is how we ensure that the
legacy of innovation and progress
continues for me investing in young
people is like planting seeds for a more
prosperous tomorrow so if you've reached
this stage of Life invest in the Next
Generation don't keep your knowledge and
experience to yourself share
teach and Inspire when you Empower young
people you are guaranteeing a future of
great achievement both for them and for
you and remember when young people have
a dream they don't feel poor because
they carry with them the fuel needed to
turn that dream into reality I failed
many times I failed my University exams
three times I was rejected from 30 jobs
including KFC but I never let those
failures Define me each of those
rejections only motivated me to keep
trying I knew that somewhere there was
something bigger waiting for me and the
only way to find it was to
persist persistence is one of the most
important qualities for any
entrepreneur if you believe in your
vision keep working at it even when
others say it's
impossible you can't give up just
because you face
difficulties if I had given up after the
first few rejections I wouldn't have founded
founded
Alibaba the journey is never easy but it
is in persistence that you find the
strength to overcome the biggest
challenges every time you face a barrier
and keep going you get closer to your
goal it's like I say if you want to
catch the rabbit don't change the rabbit
change yourself what needs to change is
your approach your mindset not your
dreams not your when I started Alibaba
we spent 3 years without a profit many
people called me crazy said the business
model was a failure but I knew that if
we kept going something good would come
along it was
persistence that kept us going during
those difficult
years I believed in the dream and I kept
working towards it even when it seemed
impossible success only comes to those
who don't give up no matter how long the journey
journey
what kept me persistent was the
certainty that difficulties are
temporary but what you build with
persistence can last
forever many people have good ideas but
let fear and difficulties stop them from being
being
realized what makes the difference is
the ability to keep going even when
everything seems to be against you if
you have a vision believe in it and keep
going because as I often say if
everything is ready it's too late don't
wait for Perfection persevere and keep moving
moving
forward so if you're facing challenges
right now remember that the key is not
to give up it doesn't matter how many
times you
fall the important thing is how many
times you get up believe in yourself and
keep moving forward because success
always awaits those who persist when I
started Alibaba everyone thought I was
crazy the internet in China was
something completely new and few people
believed in its potential I spent three
years without making a penny but I never
gave up I believed in the dream even
when no one else did if you have an idea
go for it even when others say it's
impossible success comes to those who
persist to those who have the courage to
keep going even when the path is
uncertain I say this because I know how
difficult it is to keep the faith when
things aren't going well there were many
moments when it felt like we were at a
dead end but I knew that if we kept
going something good would come many
people give up because the path is
difficult but what differentiates those
who achieve from those who only dream is
the persistence to keep going despite
everything when you truly believe in
what you're doing there's no obstacle
big enough to stop
you Alibaba was built on this unwavering
belief in the dream it took years of
hard work mistakes and financial
difficulties but the vision was always
there I always believed that the
internet would change China and I was
willing to do whatever it took to make
that dream a reality what I want to say
to you is no matter how difficult it is
keep believing in your dream as I often
say if you have a dream you never feel
poor the dream is what keeps you rich in
spirit even in the most challenging
times often what separates success from
failure is just the determination to
keep going when others have already
given up in the beginning no one
believed in Alibaba but I kept the
vision if you truly believe in your idea
it doesn't matter what anyone says your
job is to keep going the world will
always try to make you give up but those
who succeed are the ones who keep going
even when it seems
impossible so if you're in the middle of
a challenge right now I say to you don't
give up follow your dream keep
persisting believe in yourself because
success comes to those who never give up
and when you reach your goal you'll
realize that every difficulty you faced
was worth it when we started Alibaba we
didn't have much money in fact our
Capital was very
limited but what we did have was a
dedicated team team a group of people
who believed in the same vision that was
our greatest asset I learned very early
on that if you have a United team with a
shared Vision you can overcome any
challenge the power of teamwork is the
secret behind every great Enterprise no
true success is built alone in the
beginning it wasn't easy there were many
days of uncertainty and difficulty but
we stuck together the team was our most
valuable asset we didn't have resources
but we had passion commitment and most
importantly trust in each other I
believe that when you have a group of
people who share the same vision that
group becomes
Unstoppable what kept us moving forward
was this Collective belief that we were
building something bigger than ourselves
it was with this team spirit that we
overcame challenges that seemed
impossible and the most interesting
thing is that at the time nobody
believed we could succeed we were small
inexperienced and the market was
extremely competitive but we had
something that couldn't be bought the
unity of a team that was willing to do
whatever it took to make the dream come
true as I always say a United Team can achieve
achieve
anything if you want to build something
big you need a team that believes in the
dream as much as you do and as a leader
Your Role is to
inspire guide and above all trust those
who are by your side I couldn't have
built Alibaba without my team each
member was essential to the company's
success and this is something that all
entrepreneurs need to understand no one
does anything great alone the real
strength is in the team so if you're in
a leadership position or building
something new invest in the people
around you find those who share your
vision who believe in what you believe
in and work together to achieve your
goals the strength of a team is
incomparable and remember true success
is a collective effort and when everyone
is focused on the same Mission there are
no limits to what you can achieve one of
the reasons e-commerce grew so quickly
in China was precisely because our
commercial infrastructure was weak where
many saw a barrier I saw an opportunity
we turned this weakness into a strength
creating solutions that adapted to the
difficult environment we were in when
there is adversity there is also a great
chance for
Innovation I've always believed that
problems are the seeds of the best
ideas during alibaba's early years we
faced countless difficulties and it
often seemed impossible to move forward
but it was precisely in these moments
that we found the best opportunities for
Innovation when you come up against
obstacles you have two options you can
let yourself be paralyzed or you can
look for ways to overcome
them I chose the second option and
that's what I encourage everyone to do
when something doesn't work as it should
that's when great Innovations are
born if you're dealing with a problem
right now ask yourself how can I turn
this difficulty into into an
opportunity that's how we started at
Alibaba our infrastructure was
precarious resources were limited but we
used these disadvantages to create
something totally
new many of our greatest advances came
about because we were forced to think
differently Innovation isn't just about
creating something from scratch it's
about solving problems in a way that no
one has thought of before the truth is
that the Great the challenges the
greater the chance of standing
out when everyone else is complaining
that's when you can step in and make a
difference this reminds me of something
I often say where there's complaint there's
there's
opportunity adversity forces us to be
creative to find innovative solutions
and that's exactly what moves the
business World forward so the next time
you face a an obstacle remember that it
could be your greatest opportunity to
shine so if you're going through a
difficult time don't see it as a sign of
failure but rather as an opportunity to reinvent
reinvent
yourself Innovation is not born out of
comfort it is born out of difficulty if
you know how to turn obstacles into
opportunities success is guaranteed
whenever there's a problem there's a
chance to innovate and change the game
from an early age I knew that education
would be the pillar of My Success I'm
not just talking about formal education
although that's important too but continuous
continuous
education even after so many failures
and rejections I never stopped learning
I believe that the future is in the
hands of those who constantly seek to
acquire new
knowledge the key to success Innovation
and personal growth is to keep learning
every day when I founded Alibaba I knew
nothing about technology or e-commerce
but that didn't stop me instead of
focusing on what I didn't know I
dedicated myself to learning I read
watched listened to more experienced
people and absorbed everything I could
it's not just about going to school it's
about learning from life from mistakes
from others around you that's what makes
the difference between those who stand
out and those who are left behind if you
want to succeed in the business world or
in any area of life you have to commit
to learning
continuously what you know today may not
be enough to face tomorrow's challenges
as I often say if you want to catch the
rabbit don't change the rabbit change
yourself and the best way to change
yourself is through constant learning
the world is changing fast and those who
don't adapt will be left behind
furthermore I believe that education is
not something you do just for yourself
when you learn you also have the
opportunity to share that knowledge with
others that's what I did at Alibaba I've
always encouraged my employees to learn
to develop I believe that a company can
only grow as much as the people within
it grow if you invest in education
you're investing in the future so never
underestimate the power of learning keep
studying keep evolving education is what
will open doors you didn't even know
existed and
remember the knowledge you acquire today
is what will prepare you for tomorrow's
opportunities don't stop
learning because true success comes to
those who never stop looking for the
next level of growth when I started
Alibaba many people told me that the
business model was terrible some thought
I was wasting my time others simply
didn't understand what I was trying to
build however I never took this
criticism personally on the contrary I
always saw criticism as an opportunity
to improve every time someone criticized
my work or my idea I used it as fuel to
further improve the business I firmly
believe that criticism is one of the
greatest sources of
learning they show us where we might be
failing and give us the chance to
correct course before it's too late
instead of feeling demotivated ask
yourself what can I learn from
this for me this is how I managed to
turn a lot of negative feedback into something
something
positive I always say that where there's
complaint there's opportunity and the
criticism I received at the beginning of
Alibaba was essential to refining our
strategy instead of fighting criticism
learn to use it to your advantage this
doesn't mean that you have to accept
everything they say but rather know how
to listen and identify what can be
useful in the beginning many people
called me crazy for believing in the
potential of the internet in China but I
knew that those criticisms came from
people who couldn't yet see what I saw
and I use that to keep improving my
model tweaking it until we were ready to
grow I also learned that the more
successful you are the more criticism
you will receive and that's a good thing
the more people talk the more they're
paying attention to what you're doing
that means you're attracting the
attention of the market so instead of
trying to silence criticism embrace it
they could be the key to your next big
step if you know how to turn criticism
into opportunities there are no limits
to what you can achieve so the next time
someone criticize izes your work
remember that it could be what you need
to achieve success listen learn and
adjust as
necessary criticism shouldn't be seen as
barriers but as stepping stones that
will take you to the top use them to
strengthen your
strategy and you'll see that each one
has the potential to be an opportunity
in Disguise I always say that where
there's a complaint There's an opportunity
opportunity
that may sound like a simple idea but
it's incredibly powerful people complain
because something isn't working and this
is your chance to make a
difference when we started Alibaba many
people complained about how difficult it
was for small businesses in China to
access larger markets this complaint was
the starting point for us to create our
e-commerce platform we listened to what
people were saying and turned those
complaints into Solutions
when you pay attention to the complaints
around you you are identifying real
problems that need
solving people often ignore complaints
because they think they're just part of
life but as an entrepreneur you should
look at it with different eyes every
complaint is a clear indication that
something is not working as it should
and this represents an opportunity to
innovate the greatest businesses in the
the world have emerged from this
realization I realized that if people
were complaining about something it
meant that there was an unmet
need and that's where the
entrepreneurial Spirit comes in turning
problems into
opportunities that's exactly what we did
at Alibaba we listened to the complaints
of small businesses and created a
platform that met their needs the result
was an EXT extraordinary success and the
most interesting thing is that the more
complaints you solve the more
opportunities arise if you're trying to
identify a new business opportunity
start by paying attention to the areas
where people are most
dissatisfied instead of avoiding these
situations approach
them what can you do to solve that
problem Innovation is not born from
Comfort but from difficulties if
everyone is happy you don't have much
room to create something new but where
people are complaining that's where you
can find your next great
project so whenever you hear a complaint
see it as a warning sign ask yourself
how can I turn this dissatisfaction into a
a
solution the best opportunities are born
out of the biggest complaints and
remember while people are complaining
you could be creating something that
will revolutionize the market case I'm an
an
optimist from the beginning of my journey
journey
I always believed that something good
was waiting for me even in the most
difficult times when I failed exams got
rejected for jobs or faced challenges at
Alibaba I held on to the belief that the
best was Yet to
Come optimism is what keeps us going
even when the obstacles seem
insurmountable it's not about ignoring
problems but believing that we are
capable of overcoming them in many
situations optimism is what has given me
the strength to keep going when I
started Alibaba I spent three years
without a profit and heard countless
criticisms the difficulties were
enormous but my optimistic Vision that
the internet would change China never
wavered I always look to the future with
hope and determination optimism is not a
passive feeling it's an active force
that drives you to act to persist and to
believe that if you keep working hard
things will get better the truth is that
optimism is essential for any
entrepreneur you'll face challenges that
seem impossible you'll hear a lot of NOS
but it's optimism that will help you
keep going when others give up you'll
keep going because you believe that
success is just around the corner I've
always believed that even when
everything seemed against me there was
something greater waiting for for me
it's this mentality that separates those
who achieve success from those who give
up halfway through I remember thinking
many times if not now when if not me who
this kind of thinking kept me optimistic
in times of
uncertainty because optimism isn't about
closing your eyes to reality but rather
seeing the opportunities hidden in the
problems if you believe that things can
get better you'll work for it
and in the end optimism always wins so
if you're facing a difficult time
remember optimism is what keeps you
going believe that something good is
coming and keep fighting for your
dreams when you maintain a positive
outlook even in the worst situations you
end up creating the conditions for
Success the future belongs to the
optimists because they are the ones who

when I decided to become an entrepreneur
it wasn't just to create a business for
myself I chose to work for myself but
also to work for
society true success for me comes when
you create something that benefits other
people that's what has driven Alibaba
from the start our goal has always been
to serve small businesses to help them
grow and prosper entrepreneurship is
above all about service and the more
people you impact positively the greater
your success I believe that if you want
to build something lasting you need to
have a greater
purpose at Alibaba we knew that we
weren't just creating an e-commerce
platform we were creating opportunities
for millions of small entrepreneurs
across China this sense of mission is
what guided us through the toughest
times and that's why I always say that
if you make your customers happy you're
on the right track entrepreneurship is
about serving others not just making
money an entrepreneur's Success is Not
only measured by Financial growth but by
the value they create for others when
you start thinking about how you can
help other people your company naturally
becomes stronger at Alibaba our vision
was simple if we help our customers grow
we grow together and this approach has
proved extremely effective creating
value for others is the foundation of
any thriving business I remember many
moments when even when things seemed to
be going wrong what kept us focused was
the certainty that we were doing
something bigger than ourselves we
weren't just building a company we were
helping to transform the lives of
millions of people that's why I say that
entrepreneurship is service when you put
the needs of others first success uccess
comes naturally so if you want to be a
great entrepreneur ask yourself how can
I better serve my customers my community
and the world around me true success
comes when you positively impact
people's lives and in the end that's
what makes the difference between a
business that just survives and a
business that truly thrives I firmly
believe that success only happens when
you create value for others when we
founded Alibaba our Focus was never on
how we would become a big
company the goal has always been to help
small businesses grow and connect with
the world that was our purpose from the
start and it's what has led us to
success when you focus on creating real
value for your customers and Partners
Financial results come
naturally creating value means Thinking
Beyond profit at Alibaba we have always
believed that if our customers were
satisfied and growing we would Thrive
too this has created a relationship of
mutual trust where everyone wins many
entrepreneurs make the mistake of
focusing only on financial return but
forget that true success comes when you
solve other people's problems when you
become indispensable to your customers
they will never leave you I always
encourage entrepreneurs to ask
themselves how how can I help my customers
customers
succeed at the end of the day that's the
most important question if you can
create value for the people around you
whether through an Innovative product an
excellent service or a memorable
experience you'll be building the
foundations of a business that will last
that's how we built
Alibaba our mission has always been to
empower small
entrepreneurs and this has been
reflected in our growth the true
strength of a business lies in its
ability to impact lives and that impact
comes from the value you
deliver if you want to build something
lasting you can't just think about how
you're going to make a profit you need
to focus on how you're going to improve
your customers lives that's the kind of
thinking that leads to sustainable
success I remember many times when
instead of worrying about our bottom
line we were more focused on how we
could help our partner achieve their
goals so if you're building a business
or have an idea in mind focus on
creating value ask yourself what can I
do to improve the lives of the people
who use my product or
service when you put the needs of others
first success comes as a natural
consequence and that's the basis of any
prosperous long- lasting
business one thing I've learned along my
journey is that fear is one one of the
biggest barriers to
success many people have great ideas but
let the fear of failure paralyze
them my advice is Simple Start before
you're ready if you wait for the perfect
moment it will never
come in the beginning I was afraid
too when I founded Alibaba the internet
was still a New Concept in China and
many thought I was making a big mistake
but I knew that if I let fear stop me I
would never discover what I could
achieve fear is natural we all feel it
at some point but what separates those
who achieve from those who only dream is
the courage to act even when afraid if I
had let fear stop me Alibaba would never
have existed there were many moments of
uncertainty but I always knew that the
risk of not trying was much greater than
the risk of faith
failing success comes to those who move
who keep moving forward even when the
path seems full of obstacles I always
say that if everything is ready it's
already too
late opportunities don't wait for you to
be fully
prepared they arise when you're on the
move when you're learning along the way
so if you have an idea don't let fear
paralyze you start now even if you don't
have all the answers yet believe me
you'll learn and adjust as you go fear
never disappears completely but it
diminishes as you take action I've been
rejected from many jobs and faced many
difficulties but I've never let the fear
of failure stop me from trying
again the life of an entrepreneur is
full of uncertainties and the only way
to win is to keep trying regardless of
the risks fear is what keeps many people
stagnant but the courage to Act is what
differentiates those who succeed from
those who remain trapped in their own
limitations so no matter what your goal
is remember fear is a temporary emotion
but the opportunities you miss by not
acting can last forever the key to
success is to start before you're ready
and learn along the way don't wait until
everything is perfect start now and
perfect yourself as you go
