Jack Ma – Change Yourself

Transcript:

“I had tons of failure. I failed for, funny things that I failed in, a key grade school test for 2 times. I failed 3 times for the center schools. You recognize for 3 years I attempted, failed within the universities. So I applied jobs for thirty times, got rejected. I went for the police, they said, “No you’re not good.” I visited even the KFC, when KFC came to China, came to our city, people went for the work. Twenty-three people accepted. i used to be the sole one who got rejected.

“We went for police, five people, four of them accepted. I used to be the sole guy they didn't proceed with. So to me, being turned down, rejected — oh by the way, I told you that I applied for Harvard, ten times, rejected. I knew I’d be rejected, I just wanted to ascertain.

“I think we've to urge wont to it. We’re not that good. Even today we still have tons of individuals reject us. I don’t think during this world there are tons people being rejected quite thirty times. If we, the sole thing, we never hand over. The sole thing, we’re like Forrest Gump, we keep it up fighting. We keep it up changing ourselves. We don’t complain. Whether you're successful or not successful I found that when people, once they finish the work, if they create the error or they fail, if they always complain about the others, this guy will never come. If the guy only check himself, yeah, something wrong with me here, something wrong with me there. This guy has hope.”
