Wisdom of Jack Ma

• Boss is the teacher of employees and the one who sets rules for them.  
• Suspect the people who employ and employ the people that you suspect, or it means you aren’t confident.   
• We must distinguish between the character and moral quality. Do not suspect others moral quality due to different characters, learn to be tolerant. Everyone has its own characters and this makes up a perfect team. If all the staff talks about dreams everyday as I do then the company will go nowhere.   
• The world does not need one more internet company nor does it need one more company that makes money. What the world needs is a more open and transparent, more sharing, and more responsible, more global company. The world needs a company that comes from society, serves the society and dares to take responsibility for future society. The world needs a kind of spirit, a belief, kind of undertaking. Only with these, can we go further, better and more comfortable in the hard entrepreneurship (21/2/2011).   
• The so called synergy is for you to change yourselves to adapt to others, if it not good, no problem. The problem is you think it is very good. All strategies are gambling but not all gambling are strategies.      
• Steps to pass a system: 1.     Enlighten them with reason; 2.     Motivate them with emotion; 3.     Convince them with courtesy; 4.     Bring them to justice if not obeyed.
•   “Work happily and live seriously.”  Bring a smile back home after work every day and bring happiness and wisdom of life back to work the next day…….. a person who doesn’t work hard is unlikely to have a better life, but a person who doesn’t understand the meaning of life can’t work well either!
