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.

If you have a different mindset, you will have a different outcome: if you make different choices from your peers, your life will then be different from your peers.

A good job isn't something you go out and find, it's something you discover while you're working.

We will make it because we are young and we will never, never give up.

You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die.

Opportunity lies in the place where the complaints are.

Even if your competitor is still small in size or weak, you should take him seriously and treat him as a giant. Likewise, even if your competitor is massive in size, you shouldn't regard yourself as a weakling.
