1. Jack Ma
Jack Ma has an angular, strangely thin face, a wild and uninhibited style of doing things, and a man who thinks nothing of reward. The ancient road is warm; the company conference room is named after "Guangmingding", which has close contacts with Jin Yong and gathers Internet heroes for "West Lake Discussion of Swords". Ma Yun's words and deeds are quite like a hero who spans the world of business.
A big reason why Jack Ma is admired by countless grassroots entrepreneurs today is that Jack Ma was once just like us, an extremely ordinary person. He failed and failed repeatedly in the college entrance examination.
The first college entrance examination was a failure. Although Ma Yun's English is surprisingly good among his peers, his math is so poor that he only scored 1 point and was completely defeated. After that, he worked as a secretary, porter, and later helped people deliver books on a tricycle. Once, when he was delivering books to a cultural unit, he picked up a novel called "Life". That is the masterpiece of the famous writer Lu Yao.
From the story, Jack Ma deeply understood that although the road in life is long, the key points are often only a few steps. On the road of life, no one's road is straight and without forks. This just confirms the saying: "Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory." Since the road of life is so tortuous and complicated, people should be calm to face.
So, Ma Yun made up his mind to take the second college entrance examination. That summer, Ma Yun enrolled in a college entrance examination review class and rode his bicycle every day, traveling between home and cram school.
Unexpectedly, I still failed the college entrance examination for the second time. This time, Ma Yun scored 19 points in the math test, which was 140 points away from the admission threshold. Moreover, this time's results made his parents who originally had a glimmer of hope for Ma Yun to go to college feel that he did not need to take the test again.
At that time, the TV series "Volleyball Girls" was popular all over the country and became a household name. In that young but pure era, Junko Xiaolu’s smile inspired an entire generation, including Jack Ma at the time.
Not only because of her sweet smile, but also because of her never-say-die spirit. This spirit will have a profound influence on Jack Ma in the future. "Never give up" has become a spiritual symbol of Jack Ma and has influenced every Alibaba employee.
The fighting spirit of Junko Xiaolu greatly inspired Ma Yun. Despite the strong opposition of his family, he resolutely began to review and prepare for the third college entrance examination. Unable to convince his family, Ma Yun had to work during the day and attend night school at night. On Sunday, in order to motivate myself to study hard, I got up early and drove for an hour to study in the library of Zhejiang University.
Just three days before the third college entrance examination, Teacher Yu, who had always been disappointed with Ma Yun's math scores, said to Ma Yun: "Ma Yun, your math is a mess. If you can pass the exam, I will "Yu" is written backwards. "
On the morning of the math test, Ma Yun had been memorizing 10 basic mathematical formulas. During the exam, Jack Ma used these 10 formulas one by one. After coming out of the examination room and checking his answers with his classmates, Ma Yun knew that he must have passed. As a result, Jack Ma scored 79 points in that math test. After all the hardships, Jack Ma finally got into college.
