    I am Jack Ma, I was born on 10th September 1964 in Hangzhou, China in a poor family.

    m
    As a teenager, I used to guide tourist for free just to improve my English.
    I knew that the only way I could get rid of poverty ,was through education. I started

    xa
    applying for different colleges , but got rejected from each of them .Even after applying for 30
    different jobs ,all I ever faced ,was plain rejection in three simple words «You are not
    good ».When I applied a job at KFC ,I was the only who get turned down out of 24 people .

    /e
    In 1995, when internet was blooming ,I was shocked when no result appeared from
    China, when I searched « beer ».And that’s when I came up with an idea of an online

    om
    marketplace named ALIBABA .Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it profitable and it was about
    to go bankrupt. So I asked 17 of my friends to invest in my vision because I learnt to be self-
    confident and still believed in my idea, and soon « ALIBABA » became the largest e-
    c
    commerce store in the world.
    Today ,I am the richest man in China and I have a net worth of $33 billion .My story
    n.
    could teach you that it is never too late to believe in yourself and to never give up or lose
    hope , all you need to be perseverant and to achieve your dreams.
