People think, 'Jack, you do too much.

If you don't give up, you still have a chance. And when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength.

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.

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

All MBA have said are correct, but they can't execute it.

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

When I am myself, I am happy and have a good result.
