Jack Ma

Crocodile of the Yangtze

You ask

“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”

If everyone thinks your idea is safe, you are already too late. I was rejected by Harvard ten times and even KFC said no, and my only capital was eighteen friends in an apartment. Bet on it, but bet small first, fail early and cheap. Today is hard, tomorrow harder, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful.

Just survive to see it.

Helping small businesses is not charity, it is the whole point of Alibaba.
