On the road of life, there is life because of parents; on the road to success, there is direction because of teachers. Only excellent parents can raise excellent children. Only excellent teachers can bring out excellent students.

Alibaba’s Jack Ma said that the first step to success is to find a mentor in life. That is to say, on the road to success, you must first find a successful mentor before you can succeed. Many people have parents on the road to life, but they are orphans on the road to success, with no one to guide them. Making their own decisions, following the crowd, following hearsay, following what others say, and having no direction are the ways many people go astray when starting a business. ?

1. Jack Ma: My most regrettable mistake

In 2001, I made a mistake. I told my 18 fellow entrepreneurs that they could only work in small groups. managers, and all vice presidents had to be hired from outside. Now ten years later, all the talented people I hired from outside are gone, and the people whose abilities I had doubted have become vice presidents or directors. I believe in two creeds: attitude is more important than ability, and choice is also more important than ability!

2. Jack Ma: You cannot unify people’s thoughts, but you can unify people’s goals

Never believe that you can unify people’s thoughts, that is impossible. 30% of people will never believe you. Don't let your colleagues work for you, but let them work for our same goal. Uniting under a common goal is better than uniting under a common goal. It’s much easier to be around people.

3. Jack Ma: People who are good at details generally have poor structure

2. When running a business, success lies in the details and failure lies in the pattern.

3. Pattern. "Gate" is personality, "Bureau" is mind. People who are good at details generally have poor pattern. People with good pattern never pay attention to details. If you do both well, that is called too much. Talented!

4. Jack Ma: What do leaders have more than employees?

Leaders should never compare their skills with their subordinates. The subordinates are definitely better than you; if they are not better than you, it means you hired the wrong person.

1. Compared with vision: see further than him;

2. Be more open-minded: A leader’s open-mindedness is one that can only tolerate grievances, and must be able to tolerate others’ intolerance;

3. Compared with strength: the ability to resist failure is stronger than him; the qualities of an excellent leader are vision, mind and strength.

3. What are your responsibilities? It is your duty to be more diligent, work harder, and have more ideals than others.

4. A fool speaks with his mouth, a wise man speaks with his head, and a wise man speaks with his heart.

6. Jack Ma: Life is about being a human being, not doing things

I tell myself that we are not here to work, we are here to enjoy life, and we are here to be human beings Not doing things. If you work all your life and forget to be a human being, you will definitely regret it in the future. No matter how successful, great, or amazing your career is, remember that we are in this world to enjoy the experience of going through this life. If you are busy doing things, you will definitely regret it.

It means: 1. No stable income; 2. No right to ask for leave; 3. No success. Red envelope opportunity.

However, it means more: income is no longer limited, time is used more effectively, and you don’t ask for help with your palms down. If the thoughts are different, the results will be different; if the choices are different, life will be different.

12. Jack Ma: Talk about opportunities

If 90% of people say "yes" to a plan, I must throw it into the trash can. Because there are so many people talking about the good plan, many people must be working on it, and the opportunity will definitely not be ours.
