Alibaba is the largest e-commerce platform in China, with a market share of over 60%, far exceeding that of JD.COM. 65,438+06% of COM, its owner Ma Yun is a real super-rich. However, these are all achieved through Ma Yun's efforts. Today, Ma Yun is in his fifties. I'm thirty years old, and I'm still an entrepreneur. Sometimes I don't even have enough to eat. It is such a humble person who succeeded. I have to say that he is a model of entrepreneurship.
Ma Yun was born in the 1960s, which happened to be a few years of sluggish domestic development and three years of famine. Most people in China did not have enough to eat. After that, especially after the reform and opening up, the domestic market gradually improved. During this period, Ma Yun spent his childhood and adolescence. It can be said that Ma Yun is a generation who has experienced poverty and pain and witnessed the development of China.
The clothes he wore when he was young were very rough. As can be seen from the above picture, although he is poor, he shows infinite childlike innocence, which has become a very precious memory of Ma Yun.
It can be said that Ma Yun's academic performance was not good when he was young. He took part in two senior high school entrance examinations and three college entrance examinations. If he is not interested in English, it may be difficult to get into school. He almost failed in math. After failing in the college entrance examination, Ma Yun didn't intend to repeat, so he looked for a job everywhere. Once, he went to KFC for an interview, and the manager turned him down because of Ma Yun's bad looks, which gave Ma Yun a great blow and encouraged him to study hard. Finally, I took three college entrance examinations and was admitted to Hangzhou Normal University.
Of course, Ma Yun's success is inseparable from his unique personal charm. After graduating from college, he married the beauty queen, and then worked as an English teacher for several years, accumulating a lot of speech experience. After that, Ma Yun was able to contact the Internet and actively participate in the entrepreneurial army, which was also inseparable from his good English ability. In addition, before the founding of Alibaba, Ma Yun had tried to start a business for more than 30 times, with rich entrepreneurial experience, and most of the pits had passed.
Therefore, no one can succeed casually. Before Ma Yun succeeded, he had many tragic experiences. For example, he was disappointed in Beijing for two or three years and returned to Hangzhou. Ma Yun and his team members took a group photo at the Great Wall, which was very sad.
User comments: Ma Yun's success now is inseparable from his early accumulation. He desperately needs opportunities and abilities. Looking at his early energy, he will feel distressed. Such a big brother has been through so much. No wonder he succeeded.
When I saw Ma Yun, I thought of myself. I remember when I was a child, I often danced happily because I had a candy. I cherished that I had candy to eat. Although my parents didn't give me everything, I really don't lack anything in terms of food. At that time, I bought ice cream when I saw that I wanted to eat it! See sugar, want to eat, buy! See sausage, want to eat, buy! It gives me a sense of security and I can be happy.
Later, because of buying a house, the family was poor for a long time. I have to be careful about what I buy, so I naturally have less money. My most obvious thing is food. I was still ignorant at that time. Sometimes, I want to eat sugar, but it takes a long time to get there. My parents occasionally say that there is not much money at home, so you should save money. But I don't know anything. I argue here and there every day.
It was not until I grew up that I gradually realized that it was not easy at home. It is because my family is poor that I have the desire to make progress. I slowly began to cultivate my willingness to save money. I will save the pocket money my family gave me and put it in the piggy bank. I'm glad to count how much money is in it every month.
Then, I will start to scrimp and save, I won't think about asking for money every day, I won't clamor for this and that, I will help with housework and help my mother wash dishes. I still remember washing dishes for the first time. My mother praised me for being smart and capable, but I was happy and gave me delicious food. It felt really good at that time.
Because of the frugality of my family, before I went to high school, I always thought about my family and saved money whenever I had time. Before high school, I had saved 1000 yuan. Although it is not much, I am already very happy for me without income.
Poverty makes me progress. It taught me to be thrifty, and I also know that thrift is a virtue, which allows me to take out my money when I need it.
Originally, I thought that only the rich would make progress, but later I found that it was a minority. Many people experienced poverty first, knowing that it is not easy to make money, so they became rich later. Poverty makes people progress, but the stumbling block of self-indulgence is that they have never experienced the feeling of poverty. Only people who have experienced it know that only by making continuous progress and making themselves stronger will they have confidence and a better self. With the example of Ma Yun, I understand more that poverty is ok, but don't limit your imagination and stop moving forward. If you persevere and make progress, you will succeed.
