Here are 21 best quotes from Jack Ma’s Biography by R.G. Knights
1. “Your success in life might depend on your intellectual abilities to an extent, but the most important factor that would decide your success or your failure is your desperation to succeed.”
2. “Once in your lifetime, try something. Work hard at something. Try to challenge the status quo. Nothing bad can happen, but you must be willing to try.”
3. “If you don’t do it, nothing is possible. If you do it, at least you have hope that there is a chance.”
4. “When you run away from your problems, you start running a race you will never finish because no matter how long you run, your problems will always keep chasing you.”
5. “Fear is an innate feeling, and it is okay to be afraid. But giving in to Fear and turning your back to the raging fire threatening to consume you is unacceptable. We must face our fears.”
6. “Stop running away from your problems. Face them head-on. Never give up, even in the face of the most threatening situations. Be ready to go ALL IN and give your ambitions all you have. Lastly, always do everything you can to protect your dreams.”
7. “In Life, people would always talk about you and what you do. Some would applaud you for doing what you love, but many more would mock you. You need to develop a thick skin.”
8. “To become successful, you must learn to use even the most mundane or insignificant opportunities to your advantage.”
9. “To taste success, you need to be a visionary. You must look beyond the present circumstances and project yourself into the future.”
10. “To succeed in Life, you need to realize that there would be circumstances you would have no control. In such situations, all you can do is summon the strength and power from inside daily to keep going despite all the challenges thrown at you.”
11. “Going anywhere, doing business takes time. No market welcomes gamblers. You go there, create value for local people, and take your time; then you will have a chance.”
12. “Failure does not define you; what you do immediately after failing determines whether you’d win or lose. If you choose to give up on yourself, you have allowed Failure to win. You have not failed in Life until you’ve accepted defeat.“
13. “Learn to be disciplined and time conscious. Today is the oldest you have ever been, but the youngest you are for now. Make every minute count.”
14. “Whatever you do, you must realize that people will talk. People will complain. People will pass negative comments and criticize like anything. You can’t afford to allow these people to rule your mind.”
15. “It is okay to start small. Small beginnings are okay, but not starting at all, sitting there, waiting for some magic to happen is inexcusable.”
16. “The best time to start whatever you have in mind is now. If you start now instead of tomorrow, you will gain an extra day of experience, which might make a lot of difference in the long run. Stop waiting for that big break and get on with it already.”
17. “The things you do not have will probably not prevent you from achieving what you want. It will force you to be more creative and think out of the box.”
18. “You need to swallow your pride and shift your mindset from sub-consciously paying heed to the small talk around you. Remember that great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.”
19. “Life may sometimes be unfair, but Life is not completely cruel. Life equips you with the necessary skills to survive and stand out.“
20. “I use Tai Chi philosophy in business: Calm down, there’s always a way out, and keep yourself balanced, and meanwhile, don’t try to kill your competitors.”
21. “Often, people form terrible opinions about people they haven’t met based solely on the information they obtain from others. Learn to have your own opinions about people, issues, ideas, and organizations. Your opinions may and may not tally with the opinions of the majority, and it’s okay.”
