on the person and the situation However, from a general point of view, success

Failure is the state of not meeting the desired or intended goal, or when we

II Jackma

As you can see today, there are many successful people in the world, likeJack Ma, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, etc A lot of people are very successful in theworld, but my group chose Jackma because he is the leader, the most talentedand influential director in the world in recent times He is also a person with aspirit of effort, creativity, innovation, and the right direction These are allfactors that make up success

At the age of 26, Jack Ma realized that the Internet was a great technology

to be able to serve businesses At the age of 31, he decided to go to America tolearn more about it In the same year, Jack Ma raised $20,000 to start an e-commerce business At that time, e-commerce was a very new thing Many

people doubt its applicability However, in just three years, Jack Ma has earned800,000 USD.

In 1999, Jack Ma officially founded Alibaba Alibaba's purpose is based onhis previous online business experience Alibaba also created the foundation andtrend of e-commerce around the world later

By mid-2000, Alibaba had completely defeated eBay in the Chinesemarket Jack is the nickname he gave himself to address foreign guests With hisfiery presentation style and bold goals, many reporters called him "Crazy Jack"

In 2013, Jack Ma officially resigned as CEO and focused on the position ofchairman And of course, he is still the chief strategist at Alibaba's e-commercesite, and he is also the face of the company

In September 2014, Jack Ma became the richest man in China, with afortune of up to 25 billion USD In December 2014, Jack Ma became the richestman in Asia, with a fortune of $28.6 billion

Not stopping with the success of Alibaba, at the age of 40, Jack continues

to invest in e-business He founded many companies, such as Taobao, Lyn Lynx,and Ali Mama

3 Typical failures

On his journey, Jack Ma has experienced many failures, and his number offailures is sometimes greater than that of the average person in his life Here arethe most painful failures of Jack Ma, but he still overcomes them and remains asoptimistic as the Forrest Gump character he idolizes

 Only got a score of 1/120 in the college math exam

To this day, Jack Ma has struggled with math, even though Alibaba is atechnology company

Jack Ma said, "I'm not good at math, never studied management, and stillcan't read financial statements."

 The only person who "hits" the KFC interview

Out of 24 interview candidates working for KFC, 23 were accepted, andonly 1 person was eliminated, that is Jack Ma The reason is said to be because

of his unsightly face and modest height

 Can't convince Silicon Valley to invest in Alibaba

After founding Alibaba, Jack Ma still encountered many failures HisAlibaba for 3 years in a row was not profitable At first, Alibaba expanded tooquickly and almost disappeared under the dot-com bubble Jack Ma callsAlibaba "1,001 mistakes"

 Tell 18 colleagues at Alibaba that none of them will be CEO

One of the worst decisions was when Jack Ma told 18 co-workers that none

of them could go beyond management, even though these 18 people contributed

a total of $60,000 Jack Ma's plan is to hire an outside manager

Recalling this, Jack Ma still considers this to be the biggest mistake of hislife "The lesson learned from the dark days at Alibaba is that you have to makeyour colleagues feel valued, motivated, and visionary for the future."

Jack Ma is a living example of patience, perseverance, and proof that nomistake can stop us from achieving our dreams

Jack Ma said: "If you don't give up, you still have a chance Quitting is thebiggest failure."
