Tiêu… mình deserve it… mất
------------------------------
'Trên đời này chỉ có những việc không dám nghĩ, không dám làm chứ không có việc gì là không thể làm được.'
Đây là một câu nói của của tỉ phú Alibaba, Jack Ma (Mã Vân) trong một buổi diễn thuyết trước công chúng tại Trung Quốc vào hồi tháng Tư năm nay. "Bạn nghèo vì bạn không có tham vọng. 35 tuổi mà còn nghèo thì đấy là tại bạn!"
Trước khi thành lập Alibaba, tôi đã mời 24 người bạn tới nhà bàn bạc cơ hội làm ăn mới. Sau hai tiếng đồng hồ nghe tôi trình bày, họ vẫn tỏ ra phân vân. Cuối cùng, 23 người khuyên tôi từ bỏ ý định vì nhiều lý do, ví dụ như "Anh có biết gì về mạng mẽo đâu, mà quan trọng nhất là lấy đâu ra vốn".
Chỉ duy nhất một anh bạn làm ở ngân hàng nói rằng: "Nếu cậu muốn làm thì cứ thử đi. Giả như mọi chuyện không như ý thì cậu vẫn có thể quay về nghề cũ mà". Sau một đêm dài trăn trở, sáng hôm sau tôi quyết định bắt tay vào làm, cho dù trước đó tất cả 24 người đều phản đối đi chăng nữa.
Hồi mới bắt đầu gây dựng Alibaba, gia đình, bạn bè tôi cũng lao vào ngăn cản. Nghĩ lại, tôi nhận thấy động lực lớn nhất hồi đó không phải là sự tự tin của mình đối với Internet hay tiềm năng của nó, mà là điều này: "Làm gì cũng vậy, dù thất bại hay thành công thì chính những trải nghiệm, kinh nghiệm bạn có được cũng là một dạng thành công rồi." Bạn hãy thử đi thử lại không ngừng, nếu không được, bạn vẫn có thể quay trở lại với công việc trước đây cơ mà!
Trung tá Thomas Edward Lawrence người Anh từng nói: "Con người ai cũng mơ, nhưng mức độ khác nhau. Những người mơ vào ban đêm trong nơi thầm kín bụi bặm của tâm tưởng thức dậy vào ban ngày và thấy tất cả chỉ là hư ảo, nhưng những người mơ vào ban ngày rất nguy hiểm, vì họ có thể hành động từ trong giấc mơ với cặp mắt rộng mở, để biến nó thành hiện thực."
Theo Jack Ma, con người thua cuộc và thất bại là bởi bốn lý do sau đây:
1. Không nhìn thấy cơ hội
2. Xem nhẹ cơ hội
3. Thiếu hiểu biết
4. Hành động chậm
Có tham vọng là sống một cuộc đời với lý tưởng to lớn và hoàn thành mục tiêu vĩ đại. Trên đời này chỉ có những việc không dám nghĩ, không dám làm chứ không có chuyện gì là không thể làm được. Khát vọng của bạn lớn thế nào thì tương lai của bạn rộng mở thế đó!"

You are poor because you have no ambition.
Jack Ma: Before I founded Alibaba, I invited 24 friends to my house to discuss the business opportunity. After discussing for a full two hours, they were still confused — I have to say that I may not have put myself across in a clear manner manner then. The verdict: 23 out of the 24 people in the room told me to drop the idea, for a multitude of reasons, such as: ‘you do not know anything about the internet, and more prominently, you do not have the start-up capital for this’ etc.
There was only one friend (who was working in a bank then) who told me, “If you want to do it, just try it. If things don’t work out the way you expected it to, you can always revert back to what you were doing before.” I pondered upon this for one night, and by the next morning, I decided I would do it anyway, even if all of the 24 people opposed the idea.

When I first started Alibaba, I was immediately met with strong opposition from family and friends. Looking back, I realised that the biggest driving force for me then was not my confidence in the Internet and the potential it held, but more of this: “No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.” You have got to keep trying, and if it doesn’t work, you always can revert back to what you were doing before.
As with this quote by T.E. Lawrence – “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream in the dark recesses of the night awake in the day to find all was vanity. But the dreamers of day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible.”

Jack Ma: People lose out in life because of these 4 reasons:
Being myopic to opportunity
Looking down on opportunities
Lacking understanding
Failing to act quickly enough
You are poor, because you have no ambition.
Ambition is living a life of great ideals; a magnificent goal in life that must be realised.
In this world, there are things that are deemed unfathomable, but there is nothing in this world that cannot be done. The depth of one’s ambition determines the potential of one’ future.
By way of example:
The Story of Juliet Wu Shihong – one of China’s first-generation professional managers, who gained success by working her way up the ranks from a cleaner, a nurse, a marketing executive, through self-education and learning on the job.
Juliet Wu Shihong
She had been the general manager for the world’s most famous multinational IT groups’ Chinese branches (Microsoft 1985-1998; IBM 1998-1999). She is also China’s first successful international corporate executive to join the executive team of a domestic private firm. Wu was seen as a symbol of the new generation of business executives that China has produced in its economic reform and opening-up.
When Wu started off in a big company working from the lowest ranks, her daily job was to pour tea and sweep floors. Once, because she forgot her staff pass, the company’s guard stopped her at the door and denied her entry. She explained to the guard that she was indeed one of the company’s employees, and that she had merely left the building for a short while to purchase office supplies.
Despite her pleas, the guard still did not allow to enter. As she stood at the gate, she watched as those of similar age to her, but smartly dressed in business attire walking through without having to show their passes.
She asked the guard, “Why are these people allowed through without producing a pass?” The guard dismissed her coldly nonetheless.
That was the turning point for Wu – she felt great shame, her self-esteem trampled on.
She looked at herself, dressed in shabby clothes and pushing a dirty push cart. Looking back at those dressed in smart attire, her heart felt a deep ache from the sudden realization of the sorrow and grief from being discriminated. From that moment, she vowed never to allow herself to be shamed like this again, and to become world-famous.
Since then, she used every opportunity to enrich herself. Every day, she was the first to arrive at work, and the last one to leave. She made every second count, spending her time learning the ropes. Her efforts soon paid off; she was made a sales representative, and quickly progressed to being the regional general manager of this multinational company in China. Wu did not possess strong academic qualifications, and was revered as the ‘Queen of Part-timers’. Subsequently, she assumed the position of GM of IBM China. This is the Wu Shihong, the heroine in China’s business circle.

If not for the incident, Wu Shihong would not have had the ambition to become rich, and her life would have taken a very different path then.
Lessons...
You are poor because you do not have the desire to become successful.
You are poor because you lack foresight.
You are poor because you cannot overcome your cowardice.
You are poor because you lack the courage and determination.
With ambition you can overcome all inferiority and maximise your potential!
With ambition you can persevere, continuously learn new things and strive for perfection.
With ambition you can defy all odds, and create miracles when others daren’t.
No matter how poor your family is, do not doubt your own abilities and lose sight of your ambition.
When your family deems you worthless, no one will pity you.
When your parents do not have money to pay the medical bills, no one will pity you.
When you are beaten by your competitors, no one will pity you.
When your loved ones abandon you, no one will pity you.
When you have not accomplished anything by the time you are 35, no one will pity you.
Go big, or go home. Otherwise, you’re wasting your youth.
