3 Secrets to SUCCESS
1.
First, Young people are solutions for tomorrow. Young people are the solutions for all the worries. Young people, if you stay with them, you will be full of energetic. But the advice I give to the young people is also the advice I give to myself. That nothing is easy. Nothing is free. If you want to be successful, you have to pay the price.
Alibaba 18 years to today's size, yeah we are lucky, but we
work much harder than most of the people. We never sleep well and sound in the
evening. I traveled last year 867 hours a year, on the plane. I'm working hard,
my team is working very hard. Eighteen years we work as a normal company 70
years. Day and night. Nothing is free and easy.

Second, you have to think differently to do differently. Early
days in my company, when some ideas come to my desk, "Jack this a great
idea!" and I look at everybody, everybody says it is a good idea, I
normally threw it into the rubbish. Because everybody says it is good. Then all
the other people thinking, if everybody says this is very tough, I'm very
interested in that tough question and I pick up and say, "How can we do it
in a different way?" This is to be unique, to be different.
3.
And the third, this is my advice, I'm telling myself every
day. Today is very tough, tomorrow is tougher, the day after tomorrow is
beautiful, but most people die tomorrow evening. You have to work very hard,
every tough day, every tough situation, problems you meet that is the training
of yourself. When you graduate from your school, you just started your career of
learning. When you got a Ph.D. diploma, a bachelor's diploma, this is just a
certificate your parents paid the tuition. For 4 years. Your real challenge is
when you leave the college, the real-life starts, the real exam starts, the
real test starts. That's life! So, one thing you are lucky as I said, if students
cannot survive, 99.9% of people in the world cannot survive. Only you have this
confidence, you will be able to face the challenge of the future.
If you have 20-30
years, please find a good boss, not necessarily a good company, learn from the boss
and learn how to do it. When you're 30-40 years old, try to do something yourself,
if you really want to try. When you're 40-50 years old, do things that you are
good at, after 20 years of learning you should do something you're good at.
When you're 50-60 years old, spend your time supporting young people. When you
are over 60 years old, spend time with your grandchildren. That is normally a
lot of people like that. So when you are a graduate or when you're just in the
university, don't think about, "I want resign from the school and be
another Bill Gates, because Bill Gates left Harvard." There's only one
Bill Gates in the world.
When you graduate
find a company, most important find a good boss, that can train you, discipline
you. Tell you what is good and right. It's more important than a good company.
Of course, a good company, a good boss even better. And then, continue your
life. It's all about a partner.
