Jack Ma: If You're Poor At 35, You Deserve It
Submitted by Zach Ho via VulcanPost.com,
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 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.
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.

I like the little Mother Fucker. If your life sucks its your fault.
Right on bro!
You didn't get that poor on your own.
Where do I queue up to get my 0% loan from the FRB? I have balance sheet to account for the market-to-how-banks-mark value of my assets.
Gee, he didn't mention Tony Robbins once.
Something's wrong here. He also forgot to mention the Trillions the China CB flooded China.
He's correct but also over - simplifying.
If life were a game of golf, he'd argue that you need to try harder, swing harder - no matter what gear you have to play with it what Handicap was imposed on you.
there you effing go again, Kirk_WTF???, and bringing up a Scottish game after the poor sods lost their vote on independence (ignore all the election tampering, you sod!)!
Atta boy Jack! The winner of the Boston Marathon every year says something similar: "Hey if you are under 30, train all year, and still can't win, you're a loser."
What's so strange is they always say that AFTER the race. Hmmmmmm.....
This comment wins the thread.
Yeah but at the end of the Boston Marathon they sometimes have Chechen teenage "bombers" plus crisis actors and Xe/Blackwater/Academie mercs.
Dear Jack Ma-therfucker, your company produces only fake, counterfeited shit (including fake silver and gold bars) and it's just by you associating with the worst scumbags in history (Wall-street white shoe boyz gang) that you were allowed an IPO for a company that should have never been allowed an IPO if we were in real world economics and society, good day
I had everything at 38. and then real estate crashed. my fucking fault? I tried to cash out.
Whatever. I think you almost have to have "it" and lose "it" to really appreciate it.
I just haven't found the next fucking opportunity. My god how I have searched.
Try 3d printing, that is the next big thing for the new economy that will rise from the ashes of this decrepit mess.
I saw the 3D car- but you ain't printing that with a makerbot... pretty much just trinkets, a few cogs and crap. The made in China crowd probably won't like it.
Are you Thomas "three chins" Friedman's father-in-law?
It helps when the richest man in Japan (one of the richest in the world) backs your startup and owns 20% of stock. He opens doors and many other 1% super rich back your startup and take stock at .00001 per share and now sell it at 100000000% profit. Its all about who you know. Amzn, google, FB, Twitter msft....all blessed by the super rich who made trillions on the stock.
There tempo goes again, inserting real facts into this Oz like scenario!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we hearing the same exact shit about Enron back in the late 1990s, and didn't it turn out that it was all pure bullcrap, with then hiding all their debt in 300,000 offshore holding companies?
And wasn't it America's biggest crime organization, JPMorgan Chase, which hid several billions in loans to Enron as commodity trades?
And wasn't it OPIC which financed ALL of Enron's overseas ventures?
So what is the REAL DEAL with Ali Baba?
(FYI: And wasn't it our present SEC chief, Mary Jo White, who completely screwed up what should have been an easy takedown trial, because of those 300,000 offshore fraud entities? Just asking . . .)
Bre-X...Enron....Alibaba.
" Before I founded Alibaba, I invited 24 friends to my house to discuss the business opportunity."
It's called alibaba, douchetard!
Why couldn't you invite over 39 other friends?
Jack Ma: So I asked that waitress in the San Francisco coffee house her response to "alibaba"?
Other possible scenarios:
"The waitress screamed, then told me she wasn't going out with me and 39 other guys!"
"The waitress went to the phone and called 911 to report a possible terrorist!"
"The waitress only spoke Spanish and didn't know WTF I was rambling on about."
"The waitress thought I was requesting a blowjob, because I was known for doing so at that coffee house."
i DESERVE IT? FUK A YOU.
This bothers me. I need to let it go.
ALIBABA. Where do we begin with this company that all these new shareholders do not have a clue about.
Someone, before bidding on this should do some due diligence as to what they are actually buying a share in.
This may well become the new poster child Bre-X. Remember that?

Yeah, billionaires never lie.
Just like he said at the IPO, we need to "trust" them.
Trust them to steal us blind, trust them to exploit us, trust them to slave drive us into suicide jumps, trust them, trust them.

Translation: if you're not a psychopathic kleptocrat by the time you're 35, you'll be financially raped by people like me for the rest of your life.
Maybe someone will give him the TATA treatment.....

i just finished the biography of Andrew Carnegie. He gave everything away when he sold Carnegie Steel to Morgan who created US Steel from its sale of 480,000,000.....over a hundred years ago. You think this arrogant schmuck or any of these "Titans of Business" will be so benevolent? Nope. Just ad hominem attacks against the very people who will foment his success...only to be used and discarded when need be. All is fair in Love, War and Business. I stack to pass to my children.
Oh, holy fuck, IridiumRebel, Carnegie was queer and didn't have any boyfriends left to give it to, you douchey!
Even so, the various Carnegie foundations have befouled the world, so there, douchey!
Plus, you probably still are ignorant of how Carnegie came by his fortune: his boyfriend, Thomas Scott ---- the inventor of the financial fiction known as the holding company ---- appointed Carnegie to the position of Superintendent of Military Railways and Telegraphs during the Civil War, and death merchant Carnegie parlayed all that insider information into a fortune, which he then grew by getting sweetheart contracts from the government for steel and metals in the rebuilding after the Civil War.
Textbook sociopath.
I can tell by the down arrows that there must be some psychopathic, kleptocratic, sociopaths in the room...maybe Jack stopped by?
I think the psychos you speak of are the ones who want to take the wealth and assets from sucessful people and give it to their friends! That is sociopathic!
Tell that to the people in Iraq.
It should be!
Gotta luv this dude! Great message for China while we wring our tender hands over climate change & wealth distribution! Go Jackie Boy Go!
Yo yo, you mafo, I tried to interest the banksters in all my brilliant ideas, but they kept telling me:
You so smart, mafo, how come all your jobs get offshored to China, sucker!
I am not as rich as he is but i sure am better looking.
That's worth something.
Tell that to the babes!
The babes don't care about that stuff. Does size matter? Only thing that matters is the size of your bank account.
Nope
Just to keep all you "shorts" worried for the rest of the night, its the size of your shlong- thats the only thing that matters and the only thing you cant change. LOL
that's what I tell them:
"Me Godzilla, pretty soon you be screaming Jane!"
Unless you're a broad, looks don't mean shit. The babes only care about the $$$, so I assure you that guy can pull way more ass than you can, insectizoid looks and all.
Jackie Boy is swimmin' in A+ trim!
Is Jack even interested?
Probably not!
If I had to guess, I'd guess body-hairless boys.
It's true, this world could (and should) have 7 billion billionaires. If you're not flipping 7 billion burgers an hour, you're not flipping fast enough. And that's why you're poor.
...and if you lose your fucking head at 50, you deserve it. Look ma, such "let them eat cake" monetary policies have been tried before, they always end the same way. The oligarchs who survive are the ones who know how to STFU!
same as it ever was...
Apparently, Jackie boy thinks he has already screwed enough people to make him a peer of Jamie and Lloyd. I would advise him to steer clear of nail guns.
Certain personallity traits just never combine well, in this case, it's OCD, greed, and arrogance...
nice job ma, now just STFU and enjoy the ride...
What time is it?
Time to liquidate the ruling class . . .
Not everyone has Wall Street sponsors like MA and Zuckerburg.
i would rather be poor than be an asshole.
The trick is not bein' both!
word up
Little Chink Bastard. What I wouldn't give to be in a room alone with for five minutes. Hey Jack off, Karma's a bitch be best to watch you six Douche Bag.
The people who say things like this seem to have a very similar value system--with currency at the top of the list. What do these people think of those who value health, family, and knowledge above currency? I look at people like this and I wouldn't trade my life with theirs even though they have more "wealth" than me.
Those are the people that will loose at the end filled with remorse why the didn't enjoyed life.
I will show this guy ten other people, with better qualifications than him in their fields, who started just like this and failed miserably. He was successful because of his determination, I will give him that but at the same time he was fortunate that his idea actually found acceptance in the market place. There are many good ideas out there that have failed in the market despite the efforts and ability of their creators. This guy cannot assign the proper importance to personal effort and the contribution of the surrounding environment and sheer luck required for success. He is arrogant and this is a recipe for disaster.
In part because of his determination.
Also, he wasn't unlucky: He didn't get aborted
He has a brother and sister. 3 kids in "one child policy" China. In childhood photos, his brother is taller, so it's not unreasonable to assume that he's older. If the "one child policy" were strictly enforced, Jack and his sister would not be here.
dart:
Great point.
It tells me that Jack's family had connections to get exemptions - nothing to do with enforcement.
But of course, those connections had nothing to do with his climb up the ladder . . . for example, if this dude had no money going into this idea, what was a banker - among others with money - doing at his presentation?
What a line of poop.
-30-
it means they had a lot of money to pay the fines, definitely. it might have meant they might have had useful connections, but there were 10mm people in china who had connections around that era.
no matter what comparison group you put him against, he did rise to the top of the cohort in net wealth. perhaps not ethics, based on his internet bio and comments like these.
point!
When the time is not ripe for an idea one indeed can miserably fail - all because you were several steps ahead of the crowd.
Exactly, if that first waitress he asked about "Ali Baba" had replied,
"I'm going to call the police, you insectoid-looking pervert!"
Things would have turned out completely different!
Suck Ma dick, Jack!
His penis is most likely VERY small
Meat Hammer's or Jack's ??? Come on man, be specific !!!
Jack's. MeatHammer has said nothing to make me think he suffers the penis envy of short asian man who's dick is more like a clit. Which in this case is doubly accurate because Jack is a cunt :-)
Survival of Asianest.
Just think if everyone followed his advice, everyone would be rich - everyone would be the same - oh, wait, who would do the menial work though? Oh, of course, robots. But what is the point of being rich if everyone else is too? In such a fantasy, being poor would be the new rich.
Time rich is all I care about.
I say something similar all the time: failures like me are crucial; without us, how would the winners know they won?
Fuck it, that's exactly what I say?????
...everyone would be rich, everyone would be the same...
Technology should have destroyed any meanigful class divides generations ago. The diffrence between the richest and the poorest could be nothing more than some toys and beachfront property. Monetary inflation has the sole purpose of maintaing and expanding the class divide. Free market foeces would bring all but the most luxurious (and un-needed) items into everyone's reach. But the wealthy have to feel special so we have what we have...
Wtf ever. Right place, right time luckboxes looking down on everyone else for not having a shamrock stuck up their ass. Working your ass off, making all the right decisions, and being focused like a laser still don't guarantee success. You need tremendous luck and timing, that's the bottom line.
Fuck both of these pricks. Instead of taking time out of their precious day crushing other people, maybe they should spend some time figuring out how to take all that fiat with them when they go room temperature.
gotta 'get in with the right kind of fellows'... 'takin' care of business'
Typical evil progtard. Dude would send you to the labor camp and starve your family in a heartbeat.
Does Alibaba have anything to do with all that illegal and amoral Chinese forced organ harvesting?
And one of those outcomes, their Bodies Exhibition?
This is the success essense of capitalism, the YIN. They could have failed or given up but didn't. Failure is an essense of capitalism also, the YANG. Ma is breaching self empowerment for better or worse. Pretty simple Libertarian message. Those of you that are envious are socialist G7ers.
He's a kleptocrat who made his fortune with the backing of communist China whose entire economy is built on the backs of slave labor. And you're giving him libertarian accolades? Way to go with the cognitive dissonance fucknut...
And because posts like this remind me to... Fuck Ayn Rand.
I would not have traded my 20 year long vacation for all the wealth in China; if it meant I had to work like a demonic maniac.
I like the Alibaba and that is important for many people. He did good.
he must have listened to the Toni Robbins series, personal power
Someone should send this video to Jack just so his head will explode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRwdT5pYJXo
It's a video about useless lazy gypsies trying to fuck the UK
That first family profiled in your video would be better off trying th fuck the UK, vs what their doing now - fucking each other and breeding like rabbits - with zero income and no food. Really. Cry me a river.
Either that, or a Jack Ma-off kit!
he must have listened to the Toni Robbins series, personal power
Remember that chintzy James Bond film with that gayish Pierce Brosnan turd where the villian is a North Korean dood who undergoes plastic surgery and looks like some upper-crusty British turd?
Maybe Jack Ma is really Toni Robbins????
Jack Ma has just replaced Mick Jagger as the ulgiest guy getting laid by models now....
This guy is an asshole, but that does not mean there is not something to learn from what he is saying. If you want to do it your way, don't pay to much attention to what everyone else thinks.
Of course, these newly minted Chinese billionaires are not particularly spiritual in their outlook and they are going to hit a very big brick wall when they eventually realise: you can't take it with you...
They will hit a brick wall when they realize that what the Party giveth the Party taketh away. If this is the mentality of Chinese billionaires, I expect things to go down the drain for them very very fast.
Money and power don't necessarily translate to happiness, but I'm surprised at the negativity towards his comments here. Setting aside the structural impediments that the current system puts in our way, I tend to agree with what he has to say.
Sadly this was the EXACT message that BUILT Amerika to greatness decades ago before the liberal socialist masterminds took over! All we do now is hate others who are better off than us! Rich = Bad!
well that settles it...
im selling all my REAL MONEY and goin all in on Ali WaWa...
im rich - bitch!
Let them eat cake.
Let me guess, the next big seller on AliBaaBaaaa will be a self-help book series on, “How To Become A Billionaire” by Jack Ma, available now for only $29.95 each, $28.49 each for orders of 10,000 or more.
Act now and you’ll also receive a free wooden club to beat yourself with if you don’t succeed, but only while supplies last.
these are the horatio alger stories.
the old rich and actual wealthy gangsters know that vast fortunes of wealth is all bought politically ( what we used to call criminal self dealing corruption) . during good times, hard work gets you rich slowly not fast, and not massive fortunes, but medium sized.
quick wealth and vast fortunes are always gotten by self dealing with government authority or private authority----two different types of crime , the former vastly more protected and vastly more profiteable.
horatio alger cases like alibaba wu, are trotted out in front of the masses to help quiet them down. in the 1930's there was a reputed plot on roosevelts life public outed by smedley butler. why was the 'business men plot' hatched int he first place?
the cartels fear the masses. should government fail to protect their raquets, they choose to install new government...
True dat. My former professor always said those Horatio Alger stories, religion, Cinderella myths, etc are fed to the people like opiates ... to keep the filthy hoi poloi at bay. China needs themnbadly since they have billions of unwashed anxious peasants who all want to be a Jack Ma.
Honestly, I've met Jackie Chan once and personally think he is a better role model that Jackie Boy here. He is a super famous actor yet extremely pleasant and humble when he meets you. I like Jackie.
And lest anyone forget, the actual author, Horatio Alger was a pedophile!
Do they interview all the people who tried, who tried hard, but failed ? It's easy to handpick one or two success stories, but even if they look wonderful, they are not big enough to hide all the people who tried and failed. Cause not everybody can create Alibaba or Apple. Are those people smarter ? Maybe, but I think luck also plays a big role in such success. And what they don't realize is some people don't give actually a damn about "being successful" they way they define success, by "arriving first and leaving last the company". How their family life looks like ? I have an idea...
Most. Success is from right time right place right choice.....Jack ma can go make. Fortune cookies
How did he have 24 friends?
They didn't know him that well?
He found them on the internet?
They came with the house?
He met them the night before in a party where everyone was drunk out of their mind?
Because in these stories, the fookers always have 24 friends.
Didn't you ever see that movie, The Usual Suspects?
Never heard of Keyser Sose?
Donald Trump was short of money years ago and he sold some sperm. Ja Ma is the first son we know off. Look for more squirrel hair.
Arrogance precedes the fall
Arrogance precedes the fall
PRIDE precedes..............as in gay!
I thought there was some business shenanigans with Yahoo. Something about him selling part of the company to himself or something like that.
Good point!
And then, before that, Jerry Yang helped the Chinese fooking government capture pro-democracy activists.
Wonder if Alibaba dood is doing that also?
So, ISIL is destabilizing the rigged oil markets, and the price of oil is plummeting, while the CDSes taken out against certain oil companies and certain bonds related to certain oil companies/deals is skyrocketing.
Wonder if there's any connection to . . . .
When getting that $2.00 BJ, just close your eyes. I bet you can fool yourself into thinking she’s an All-Star…. Go ahead, give it a try.
Alibaba in very good hands under the guidance of this Steve Jobs clone!
And Jesus would be?
Is this really Jack Ma???
Or is Tom Vu back?????!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YA!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfXPxo8S-lo
You're friends are all losers!!!! LMFAO!!!!
From now on, write about him all you want, but lose the pictures. Geez.
Some things are better left unseen.
I think Ma has done a good job..I just dont think his company is worth what it just sold for...that was all hype by Wallstreet....time will tell....
Obama says you didn't build that web site Jack.
And when you see shit like this from an idiot that has no clue and is paid $15.00 an hour to write for MarketWatch......Well, you know we are close to a bottom.
Gold crashes and is now tarnished for good
"there is nothing in this world that cannot be done". Spoken like someone who has never tried to do anything.
The only thing that article got right is that China demand is down. At least the official demand.
Hard to argue with him, especially when it comes to some harsh realities that most people do not want to hear. That being said, one often believes they are much smarter than what they really are after accumulating great wealth whether it be from hard work, good fortune, luck, inheritiance etc... Those around you will also treat you as if your wealth is a measure of your intelligence.
At some point, hopefully, some of his hubris will be replaced with some humility. Unfortunately most gain humility only after losing or squandering the wealth they've accumulated.
Get cocky enough life can find ways of conspiring against you and make you regret some of those words or actions spoken while being drunk with oneself. But for now he pretty much can say what he wants as to the victor goes the spoils.
chink
Dude is confusing luck with talent.
...
You are poor because you are a muppet
Fuck you Ma! Alot of people are ambitious and work hard, but do not become billionaires...you got lucky bitch. I'm happy for you, but stop your preaching.
This stupid little arrogant fuck could drop dead next year and be standing in front of God, flat busted broke and with a bad attitude.
God will get these pensioners collecting ill-gotten pensions form companies or cities they helped bankrupt too.
LOL
"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."
Let us now consider the likely outcome of the same person behaving the same way in Bolivia, or Algeria, or Hungary. Quickly progressing to regional general manager also depends on the need for a regional general manager. It is just not as simple as, "Work hard, and you'll do well."
Nice saying Jack Ma! I think he should make a movie about the 24 lames who clearly blew it!!! lolol
Lots of negativity on this thread. What exactly did he do wrong, aside from ruffling some feathers here...
Just curious....
To me he sounds a lot like DR. Ben Carson, who worked his ass off to get where he did in life.
Ben Carson for president, he is the only one who can beat Obama in 2016.
-Signed, your trustworthy neighborhood GOP
Life at the top is lonely; but you eat better. Pick any enterprise you wish, without the personal attributes he talks about he wouldn't be where he is. Of course, let him hang around the US a while and go out on tour with everybody's ex-wife Hillary, and he'll turn into a complete shill for the New World Order and 10 years from now won't be anything like what got him his success.

Pricks like this never seem to miss an opportunity to school the rest of us on what we're doing wrong.
Fuck Ma, Gates, Bezos, Ellison, Fuckerberg and the rest of them.
