Question

【題目】

I did not have a rich father. I tried 3 times for university, but all failed. I applied(申請(qǐng))for Harvard for 10 times, but all failed. They didn’t even want to see me. For the last time, I went to

the teachers' college which was regarded as the third class of my city. I applied jobs for 30 times

A lot of people said Alibaba was a terrible model. As I said, "I believe it. I think this thing could be big. I never thought it would be so big like today. "I believe that something, something is waiting for me there, and I have to work hard to prove myself. That was the tough experience. So we gathered 50 thousand US dollars from 18 founders. Little by little, we built up our business. And now, after 16 years, we have a Alibaba group; We have a T-mall group; We have a Taobao group; We have Alipay.

“You are so smart, how could you make a company like that? People asked. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, the Jack Welch, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, the difference between those people and other people, they are always optimistic(樂(lè)觀的)for the future. They never complain. They always try to solve the problems of the others. When you are optimistic, it's always an opportunity (機(jī)會(huì)).“Jack, Where's the opportunity? I don't have a job. I don’t have this. I don’t have that.” We are at the best of time of this century. The best asset(財(cái)產(chǎn))you have is that you are young. Don't complain. Let the other people complain. The opportunity lies, always lies where people complain. I saw a lot of people, especially young people have fantastic ideas every evening. But the next morning, they go to the office on time again.

Tomorrow is new. Make the move. Make action. Whether investors(投資者)believe this or not, whether your friends believe it or not, whether your parents believe it or not, that's not important. You believe it. Your team believe it and work day and night on this. Everything happens. Make enough mistakes. You fall, and you stand up. Any mistake is an income and a wonderful revenue(收益). Don’t worry about the money. Money follows the people. Young people should follow the dreams. If you have a dream, just to go ahead.
