I believe in two principles: Your attitude is more important than your capabilities. Similarly, your decision is more important than your capabilities!

The most unreliable thing in this world is human relationships.

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.

We should never finish a 20 year program in two year.

I absolutely don't have $20 billion. But I'd love to, right?
