Jack's mother A success storyUpdated at Apr 20, 2023, 09:20
I failed twice in primary, failed three times in secondary, failed university entrance exam three times, failed 30 times in job exam. When KFC came to China, 24 people applied for the job. Out of this 23 people are employed. Only one person is left out, and that person is me. It has also been seen that five people applied for the job, out of which four got the job, only I was left out. I saw rejection after rejection. After applying 10 times for admission to Harvard University, I was rejected 10 times. The person I have talked about so far is Jack Ma, the founder and chairman of Alibaba.com, one of the largest online companies in the world. He was born in 1964 in Zhejiang Province, China. His parents made a living by singing and entertaining people. As a child I was restless, But I was never afraid. My rivals were always stronger than me. But I thought and fought. Since childhood, he always tried to stay with tourists who came to China to learn English. Besides, he bought his own radio. The objective was to listen to English regularly on the radio. Although he could learn English well, he failed repeatedly in mathematics. Because of Jack's poor performance in mathematics, he also failed the college entrance exam twice. But Jack Ma passed the entrance exam for the third time. This time he was admitted to Hangzhou Teachers Training College. Jack Ma is the 33rd richest person in the world according to Forbes magazine. His total wealth is 21.6 billion dollars. Growing up despite failing so many times in Jack Ma's life, He did not back down from the hope of being established. He has reached the position he is today through continuous efforts. Alibaba.com, Jack Ma's company that got rejected 30 times for jobs, has created 14 million new jobs in China. Jack Ma could not get a job after his studies. He even applied for a manager's job in a restaurant. But that didn't happen. Eventually he got a job teaching English at a university. Jack was paid $12 a month. To change this situation, Jacques opened a translation center to support Chinese export-oriented businessmen. It was as part of this translation center that Jack traveled to the United States for the first time in his life. He first learned about the Internet when he went to the United States. Jack searched the net for information about beer. He found that there was no information on the Internet for Chinese speakers. There is no information about China! Returning home, Jack opened a new company. He started publishing information about export-oriented Chinese companies by building a website. Jack Ma's website is said to be China's first internet-based business. But that website completely failed to do business. Four years later Jack Ma founded a new company called Alibaba. This company is considered as an example of the success of e-commerce in the current world. When Jack Ma first decided to establish Alibaba, he invited 17 of his friends to his house. He shared his ideas with them. But everyone called his idea a 'stupid idea'. Throughout the night Jack Ma pondered over his venture, and the next day he decided that whatever others might say, He will do this. How did Jack Ma become an e-commerce guru without knowing much about the Internet and information technology? This question was answered by one of his early fellow porters, Eris Mann. Eris Man said, Jack is a very good speaker. He can easily spread his dreams to everyone. Jack always told us, we are all young and will never back down from a fight ourselves. Jack Ma is also good at keeping his colleagues in his organization happy. on various occasions, Jack is quick to put a smile on the faces of his colleagues whenever he gets the chance. On the anniversary of Alibaba's establishment, Jack Ma organizes a grand event called Talent Show every year in a local stadium. At that event, the employees of Alibaba were extremely happy. Jack Ma resigned as CEO in 2000 to streamline the organization. He then became the chairman of Alibaba. In this context, Jack said, being a good chairman is much more challenging than being a CEO. However, one of the main reasons for Jack Marr's success is his interest in solving people's problems. He wanted to solve the problems of Chinese traders. And the means to achieve this objective has been information technology. Besides, one can understand what qualifications are required to be a successful entrepreneur like Jack Ma, From a letter he wrote. The letter was written by Jam Ma addressed to his staff. He mentioned in the letter - We did not succeed because of hard work or determination. We have succeeded because of giving utmost importance to customers. And we have been able to respect our strengths. We believe that ordinary people can do extraordinary things
