A leader should never compare his technical skills with his employee's.

It doesn't matter if I failed. At least I passed the concept on to others. Even if I don't succeed, someone will succeed.

Customers should be number 1, Employees number 2, and then only your Shareholders come at number 3.

No matter what your current condition, how or where you grew up, or what education or training you feel you lack, you can be successful in your chosen endeavor. It is spirit, fortitude, and hardiness that matter more than where you start.

I am going to enjoy some other things apart from business.

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.

If we go to work at 8 a.m. and go home at 5 p.m., this is not a high-tech company and Alibaba will never be successful. If we have that kind of 8-5 spirit, then we should just go and do something else.
