“There will be light in your eyes only if there are dreams in your heart.”
― Liu Shiying, alibaba: The Inside Story Behind Jack Ma and the Creation of the World's Biggest Online Marketplace

“One factor in his decision was a sense of giving it a try. Ma has always felt that one does not measure success just by the results; instead, he feels that the experience of doing something is in itself a kind of success. “You go out and charge around…if it doesn’t work, you can always bow out. But if you just think over thousands of things at night and in the morning keep on walking the same old path, you never get anywhere. You don’t grow. You might as well try.” Ma has often commented on the fact that he is praised less for his acumen than for his courage.”
