Find the right people, not the best people.

I'm not a tech guy. I'm looking at the technology with the eyes of my customers, normal people's eyes.

I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name. Alibaba is easy to spell, and people everywhere associate that with "Open, Sesame," the command that Ali Baba used to open doors to hidden treasures in One Thousand and One Nights.

People think, 'Jack, you do too much.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

I know nothing about technology.

Life is so short, so beautiful. Don't be so serious about work. Enjoy the lives.
