Fifty years ago, a boy was born to a family of traditional musician-storytellers in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province of China. In 1972, when US President Richard Nixon visited China, this boy was merely eight years old. But little did anyone know that this visit will sow the seed in the mind of this eight-year-old to dream big.
The US President’s visit left the boy with a desire to learn English and he started to guide foreign tourists in his hometown in exchange for learning English from them. One of the tourists gave him the name ‘Jack’. The name stuck, and Jack went on to become a celebrity in China by creating the largest e-commerce company of the world. But more importantly, his success taught the ordinary people to dream of doing extraordinary things.
Jack Ma proved that in a Communist society, an entrepreneur can succeed. He’s inspiring, visionary and unique. Be it the mass wedding, which he organizes for his employees, or the transparency about his plans, Jack’s inimitable approach to things make him stand out. His humility to accept mistakes and learn from others is a big lesson to all aspiring entrepreneurs in the world.
Jack wants to write two books about his experiences of two decades in Internet and e-commerce, one ‘Alibaba 1001 Mistakes’ and the other ‘How to make your company smaller’. This speaks a lot about the modesty of the richest man of China whose personal wealth amounts to a whopping (approx) $24 B.
