Don't even trust that you are able to unify what everyone is thinking; it is impossible

Without internet, there would have been no Jack Ma, and no Alibaba or Taobao.

The quality of a good leader therefore is his vision, tenacity, and his capability.

My dream was to set up my own e-commerce company. In 1999, I gathered 18 people in my apartment and spoke to them for two hours about my vision. Everyone put their money on the table, and that got us $60,000 to start Alibaba. I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name.

Once in your life, try something. Work hard at something. Try to change. Nothing bad can happen.

A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can't.

The world will not remember what you say, but it will certainly not forget what you have done.
