Wisdom of Jack Ma

• Trust has two meanings: trust people and employ them.
• Experts and scholars are two different things; the latter can be acquired by learning and the former only by doing
• If today we don’t have the courage to face reality, to bear the consequence and to bite the bullet; adhering to the dream and vision………. Would be empty talk and a joke.
• There is no desperate situation, only the desperate man to the situation.
• Money and wealth are two different concepts. Having money is not the same as having wealth. Wealth is an undergoing, an experience. If you can’t turn money into experience to improve your sense of happiness as well as others, what you have is probably just a lot of symbols and a pile of colorful paper. Money is used to serve our problems, to serve us, to create more joy and happiness and opportunities for people. Many of the people from ordinary households have far more sense of happiness than many rich people, reasons being happy people have a pursuit outside wealth, and only people with money who spend it wisely can hopefully create more money, more wealth and more happiness.
• Today there are many negative blundering moods in society. Many people doubt everything, attack everything, deny everything and always want to impose their one – sided view to others. Many media excessively use “punishing the evil” as a means rather than “supporting the good and removing the evil”, which damages people’s belief that someone in the world would want to do good things and want to do good work.
• To live better, move more; to live long, move less; to live longer and better, move slowly – Tiaji.    
• A deaf heard a mute say a blind saw a ghost.    
• Faith is being grateful and reverent. Lacking faith will affect our mentality. If our mentality is changed our form is changed and in turn our ecological nature will be changed too.  
• Not all our anger came from evil doings. We’re angry because people are indifferent to bad behaviors.   
• Our life doesn’t belong to us; our life is closely linked with all the lives throughout the world.
