Have you heard of Jack Ma, Alibaba founder’s little corks? Well, let me give you a briefing of the story that always motivates me in a million different ways. He failed three (3) times in college. He applied thirty (30) times to get a job but was rejected. When KFC came to China, they had 24 job applicants; Jack Ma was the only one that got turned down. He tried the police force and 5 postulants; he was the only one that was not accepted. Finally, he said to himself, let me go back to school then, maybe that way I will find greater opportunities after graduation. But guess what, he applied ten (10) times to Harvard and got rejected ten times. Now let’s count the little corks – 3 college trials + 30 job refusals + 1 KFC failed employment + 1 police force rejection + 5 postulants failures + 10 Harvard denials = 50 little corks. His dreams had to push over fifty times just to regain its freedom, and we all know how tightly screwed a cork usually stays in a bottle; so it definitely wasn’t an easy task. Now, Jack Ma Yun is a Chinese business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He is the co-founder and executive chairman of the Alibaba Group, a multinational technology conglomerate. As of January 2019, he is one of China's richest men with a net worth of US$36.2 billion, as well as one of the wealthiest people in the world.[1] Ma's primary ideology was for an open and market driven economy. Are your dreams screaming as well? How many corks have been screwed in? Make hay before the bottle breaks!
