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?

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
