Today I'm sharing with you a quote from the amazing entrepreneur Jack Ma I'm
going to give you a short biography of what he has achieved and how he did it
and also I will tell you what I believe he meant by his quote and how we can
apply his words into our lives so you can be more successful
like mr. Ma stay tuned!
Not three separate devices. This is one device!
To associate with people who are better then yourself!
I am gonna make him an offer, he cannot refuse!
Jack Ma founded the Alibaba Group which currently is with a market
capitalization of three hundred and ninety billion dollars which is making
it the biggest company in China surpassing Tencent it's also the
biggest in history public offering on 25 billions! Alibaba is in top ten most
valuable brands right now and it is the biggest retailer in the world surpassing
Walmart in 2016 and some people think that Amazon is the biggest e-commerce
retailer but that is not true Alibaba has gross sales volume that is
more than Amazon's in eBay's combined so very impressive
stuff all of that is bringing Jack Ma's networth to over 36 billion dollars
making him the richest man in China so how did he achieved that how he got to where
he is now well Jack ma was born in a little town
in China - you know to a poor -family He grew up very poor. When he was little, for
nine years he used to take seventy minutes ride by a bike to a nearby
hotel where a lot of American tourists would go because it was like some
sight seeings there I could give them free tours only in other
to be able to learn English after finishing school he wanted to attend
college but it took him four years to pass through the entrance exams after
graduating college with bachelor's in English he applied to 30 different jobs
I just want you to wrap your head around 30 different jobs
he got rejected on all of them the last one was when KFC came to China and you
know that is just making burgers right and 24 people applied 23 were accepted
and Jack Ma was the only one rejected he also applied to Harvard ten times and
ten times he will declined so you would say how would the person not you know give
up and despair because I would despair wouldn't you - so how he achieved what he
did and the answer is he never gave up he went looking ahead and with his
friends help he take a short trip to America where he encountered and met
this amazing thing called the internet he searched the internet and there was
nothing coming up for China so this idea came to him that he wants to put
something into internet that's from China it was impossible for small medium
business in China manufacturers to connect even in China and sell their
products and it was absolutely impossible for them to sell their
products out of China and you know a lot of people knew this problem and a lot
of people who say it's impossible because it's very hard because of
infrastructure to actually send and deliver products fast in China everybody
said to him that's impossible to make a secure payment online because of
government and banks and a lot of other stuff and there were so many problems
but Jack Ma didn't give up he continued and Alibaba wasn't successful
for years and years but he never gave up and now he's the richest person
in China so what Jack Ma's quote that I want to give you today the opportunity
always lies where people complain so what he meant by that and that's why I
love Jack Ma because he actually lives what he preaches and he preaches what he
lives and you know people will always complain and around you I believe there
are plenty of things that you know don't work the best way and there are problems but
if we just stop and decide not to complain but search for solutions to
find some way to make things work better that's where the opportunity lies and
you know if you do that you might fail the first time you might fail the second
time it might be hard it would be I promise you it will be hard but I also
promise you if you keep going you'll succeed because when you bring value to
people when you make their life more efficient and easy in some way you
enable them they will come to the buy your product and they listen to you so how do
we apply that in our lives just look around I promise you there are plenty
of things that you complain a lot of people complain just go ahead and find
the solution for them it might not be perfect from start but just keep going
because Jack Ma kept going and look at him now if you enjoyed this video make sure
