1
I did not have a rich father.
2
I tried three times for university.
3
All failed.
4
I applied for Harvard for ten times.
5
All failed.
6
They don't even want to see me.
7
For the last time, I went to the Teachers College, which was considered the third or fourth class of my city.
8
So I applied jobs for 30 times, got rejected.
9
I was so frustrated because I taught in the university.
10
My pay was $10 a month because I could not find a good job.
11
In 1994, the Scott said, "I'm going to do something called Internet." And 23 of them against it.
12
They said, "This is a stupid idea.
13
We have never heard about Internet.
14
And you know nothing about computers." And I never thought I was smart.
15
They think it crazy, you know, they think about something that never worked.
16
I tried to borrow 3 ,000 US dollars from the banks.
17
It took me three months, but I still cannot get it.
18
We talked to over 30 or 40 venture capitalists.
19
Everybody said no, forget it.
20
A lot of people said Alibaba is a terrible model.
21
As I said, I believe it.
22
I think this thing could be big if we keep on working.
23
today.
24
I believe that something something is waiting for me there and I have to work hard to prove myself.
25
That was the tough experience.
26
So we gather 50 ,000 US dollars from 18 funders.
27
We started.
28
For the first three years we did not have even one dollar revenue from our business.
29
It was not easy.
30
and yet you make nothing.
31
That's internet.
32
Yes, but what's the point?
33
Are you a millionaire?
34
No. Do you want to be?
35
Well, I hope.
36
But why it keeps on going ahead, going forward?
37
Because I received lots of email of thanks from the customer.
38
They say, this is such a great thing.
39
We cannot pay you, but this thing helped us.
40
If you keep on helping us, one day you will be successful.
41
And I believe this.
42
We have an Alibaba group, we have a T -Mor group, we have a Taobao group, we have Alipay.
43
And people said, you are so smart.
44
How could you make a company like that?
45
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jack Welch, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg.
46
The difference between those people and other people, they are always optimistic for the future.
47
They always try to solve the problems of the others.
48
When you're optimistic, it's always opportunity.
49
People seem here today, "Jack, where's the opportunity?
50
I don't have a job.
51
I don't have this, I don't have that." The best assets you have is that you are young.
52
Don't complain.
53
Let the other people complain.
54
The opportunity always lies where people complain.
55
And then when you think about this, start to do it.
56
I saw a lot of people, young people, have fantastic ideas every evening.
57
But in the morning they go to the office again, if you really want to be an entrepreneur.
58
You have to do the things before the other people do.
59
You have to wake up before the other people wake up.
60
You have to be more brave than the others.
61
When I was young, I went to Hangzhou, Wester Lake.
62
There's a hotel, many foreign visitors visit there.
63
there every morning five o 'clock to practice my English.
64
The foreign visitors come, I practice my English.
65
I don't know why at that time,
66
but I found everything the foreign visitors told me are so different from the things my parents told me,
67
my teacher told me, and the newspaper ran.
68
So since then I think everything use my own brain, use your own brain to think to everybody,
69
to any person, Tomorrow is new
70
Make the move make action
71
Whether investors believe in this or not whether your friends believe it or not whether your parents believe it or not?

76
be happy don't worry about the money money follow the people people should follow the dreams

Il contesto: una storia di resilienza da imparare

Nel video, Jack Ma racconta la sua straordinaria battaglia contro il fallimento: tre tentativi per entrare all'università, dieci rifiuti da Harvard, 30 lavori negati e un'idea di internet vista come "stupida" da tutti. È una conversazione ricca di emozione e lezioni di vita, perfetta per esercitarti a capire l'italiano colloquiale e a migliorare la tua pronuncia con la tecnica del shadowing.

Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare

  • "Got rejected": "Ricevere un rifiuto". Es. "Ho applicato per 30 lavori e tutti mi hanno got rejected".
  • "Keep on working": "Continuare a lavorare". Es. "Anche se è difficile, devo keep on working per raggiungere il mio obiettivo".
  • "Solve the problems of the others": "Risolvere i problemi degli altri". È una frase chiave per capire l'approccio di Jack Ma: i grandi successi nascono da questo.
  • "Optimistic for the future": "Ottimista per il futuro". Una qualità fondamentale per superare le difficoltà.

La tua sfida: shadowing in inglese oggi stesso!

Ora è il momento di mettere in pratica il shadowing, una tecnica che ti aiuta a migliorare pronuncia, intonazione e fluidità. Ecco come fare: riproduci un frammento del video (20-30 secondi), ascoltalo attentamente, poi ripetilo immediatamente dopo, imitando la voce di Jack Ma, la sua velocità e le pause. Usa un shadowing site se vuoi registrare te stesso e confrontarti. Ricorda: il shadowspeaks non è solo ripetere, ma sentire il messaggio. Ripeti il esercizio 5 volte con lo stesso frammento: noterai che la seconda volta sarai più sicuro, la quinta perfetto! Non ti preoccupare se sbagli: i fallimenti, come dice Jack Ma, sono passaggi per il successo. Iniziamo ora – la tua miglior versione in inglese è a un clic di distanza!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
