As a Chinese, I think there is almost no one that doesn't know
Alibaba.Alibaba's success in New York leads almost all people to joke to be the
one behind Ma Yun. People from all over the world begin to recognize such a
"grassroots" entrepreneurs who doesn't have an outstanding appearance and
even family background.
However,what difficulties did he experience behind his success? Not the
same as the other Internet elites, Ma Yun was not living in the top of that part
of the people. He lived among the ordinary people. Ma Yun said he was
stupid. His homework was never good. He only did well in English but his math
once was one point. Not only did he not have the first-rate university, but his
primary school, middle school were also three or four-rate. So, Ma Yun has been
talking to the staff that if according to IQ, 70% of people in the world can be
successful!
It is said that he is a man who makes people crazy. Every year, he will
deliver speeches in the world's 10 universities. He had a strong debate with the
president of NOKIA on Harvard platform, and ultimately won the long applause
of more than 1000 audiences. As a successful businessman, he promotes
positive energy. He decides to let Alibaba Group make an annual investment of
5 million yuan to 10 million yuan,in order to excavate, spread and develop the
positive energy around people in the community. A teacher for a day is a father
for a lifetime. In April 2014, Ma Yun donated 1 billion yuan to his alma mater,
Hangzhou Normal University, and established the "Ma Yun Education
Foundation of Hangzhou normal university".
In 2000, "Forbes" evaluated Ma Yun: He is with the same figure as
Napoleon, and he is with the same ambition. People never forget your dreams
on the first day,because your dream is the greatest thing in the world.
