Jack Ma is the founder and the chairman of Alibaba Group. He is now the richest man in Asia and one of the most influential businessmen in the world. He was born in China’s southeastern city, Hangzhou, in 1964. Before he started his own business, Jack Ma was an English teacher in the local university. At that time he earned less than 1000 yuan a month. Now almost every Chinese has shopped on his website Taobao. I like his famous saying: “Today is difficult, tomorrow is more difficult, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful. So we have to work very hard in order to survive the long journey.”
