The story of celebrities trying to dream of success

Dreams are hard work. If you want to realize your dreams, you must make unremitting efforts, because dreams are the cornerstone of helping others succeed. The following is a story I shared about celebrities trying to dream of success. Come and have a look with me.

The story of celebrities trying to dream of success (1) Alibaba Group went public, and Ma Yun became the richest man in China. As the saying goes, ten minutes on stage, ten years off stage. What is Ma Yun's counterattack from Diaosi? Aliens? Who knows the pain? In other words, you are richer than Fu Mayun, but not necessarily better than it. In this respect, the world is fair.

First of all, at least two job applications were rejected because of their appearance.

Ma Yun looks like an alien ET. Now anyone, including Ma Yun, can make fun of his appearance. But back more than 20 years ago, Ma Yun was not less worried about his appearance. After failing the college entrance examination for the first time, his dream is to be a hotel waiter and a policeman. It's all because of looks. To put it bluntly, they are ugly!

The question is, what will it look like? Ma Yun can't decide. The world is like this: at least he has lost his dream of entering the hotel industry forever.

By the way, he later found a part-time job, riding a tricycle to deliver magazines.

Second, translation agency is subsidized by selling socks.

Haibo translation agency was Ma Yun's initial venture, and the first translation agency in Hangzhou faced difficulties from the beginning. The first month's income was in 700 yuan, and the rent was 2400 yuan. In order to keep his career going, Ma Yun can only rent out half the stores in translation agency to others. Start your second part-time job, carrying sacks to Yiwu to wholesale flowers, flashlights, underwear, socks and handicrafts to sell? This looks like a boss. But later he had to sell the goods to hospitals and barefoot doctors. Students in English class also helped him distribute leaflets, pull banners and make publicity at the gate of department stores. Suffering from the eyes of passers-by, there is no tall translation company at all.

At best, Ma Yun may have learned about the hardships of small vendors and sales very early through this process, and prepared experience for establishing an e-commerce platform in the future. But objectively speaking, entrepreneurship is really not suitable for blx people.

By the way, Ma Yun was one of the teachers with the most courses in Hangzhou Institute of Electronic Technology at that time, and all of them were part-time.

Third, how to prove the internet that others have never seen? Talk, do.

? China Yellow Pages? Our business is to put the information of domestic units on the internet so that foreigners can find him. But at that time, there was no Internet in China, and no one could see or touch it. If you believe it, you have it. No, you do. The category of. After the startup team receives the customer information, it translates it into English, and then delivers it to the American partner to make a web page? If you are willing to pay for what you can't see, no boss will believe you. Therefore, Ma Yun's team should not only prove that customer information is online, but also prove that there is such a thing as the Internet in the world.

Ma Yun doesn't know technology. All he can do is keep saying that he goes out every day to tell people about the magic of the Internet. The boss doesn't believe it. In addition to printing web pages, he also asked his boss to make overseas calls for free, ask relatives and friends in the United States, and let Americans check online. 1995 Shanghai finally opened the Internet. China Yellow Pages? Does the team provide additional services? After a long-distance trip to Shanghai, I spent three and a half hours looking at photos online. Jack Ma, anxious as a cat on hot bricks, was ecstatic, and his wronged tears fell down.

In many cities without internet, Ma Yun is always called? Liar? . Is this one too? Ma Yun is a liar? Original source.

Fourth,? You should make an appointment for this first?

Ma Yun is now the chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba Group, but he was just a? Salesman? . In the CCTV documentary "Scholar Ma Yun", thin Ma Yun combs his hair into eight petals, carries a black shoulder bag, knocks on the door to find someone and tells everyone. I'm here to promote the Chinese Yellow Pages. ? A confused and impatient person put him? Please. Get out. A director simply told reporters that this person is not like a good person!

1996, ma yun went to a state commission office in Beijing to promote sales, saying? China Yellow Pages is to let a national committee publicize on Information expressway, input all of China into computers, and let the world know about China? The answer is very impatient: You need to make an appointment for this matter. If not, it is difficult for me to give you a satisfactory answer. ?

Ma Yun looks exactly like any salesman on the street, but the fact that he was rejected and looked down upon on the Internet has not changed his belief in the Internet, but has become the spiritual driving force for Alibaba's career development, which may be the biggest difference.

Even after Alibaba was founded, it was common for employees to go to enterprises to sell business, be chased by dogs and be chased by security guards.

Fifth, I cried four times in a row before returning to the south.

Alibaba's team was working on a government project in Beijing, and finally Ma Yun decided to go south to Hangzhou to start a business again. During his 14 months in Beijing, Ma Yun never played with his team. On the last day, they decided to go to the Great Wall. In the evening, in an unknown small restaurant, it snowed heavily. Everyone drank in a big bowl, ate large pieces of meat and cried together. Finally, they sang "True Hero", and after that, they sang old songs, one after another. All these vagrants have avoided it? Parting? This word is too heavy for them.

This also means that this is the fourth consecutive entrepreneurial failure since Ma Yun was 30 years old.

6. No one is optimistic. At least there's only 200 yuan in the bank.

In the words about Alibaba's investment circulated by the outside world, it is cleverly mentioned that Sun Zhengyi's $20 million and Yahoo's $654.38 billion were settled in six minutes. In fact, more pain is unknown.

There is no luxurious team configuration, and there is no American successful model for reference. Compared with its counterparts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Alibaba was once an ugly duckling in the Internet industry. The internet has always been known for burning money. After Alibaba was founded, it also faced financial pressure. At the most embarrassing time, there was only 200 yuan in the bank. Once Ma Yun went to Shanghai to meet an investor, and the other party made a harsh condition. Ma Yun was dissatisfied but hesitated, so he slipped out and asked a colleague in charge of finance, and got the news that there was no money in the account. After coming back, Ma Yun gritted his teeth and gave up his investment.

He didn't say, and no one knew how hard his heart was at that time.

On the IPO roadshow of the New York Stock Exchange after 15 years, Ma spoke of this dilemma in the form of a joke. I raised $2 million before 15. I came to new york and failed. I have never given up since 15. I just want to get more money back in new york this time. You ignored me at first, and now I make you unattainable?

Seven, the company almost because? Sars? breakdown

Although Alibaba often says that SARS has made people really pay attention to e-commerce that doesn't need to go out. But SARS almost closed Alibaba down.

As employees went to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair and were infected with SARS, the whole city of Hangzhou was in danger, and the largest-scale isolation was implemented: more than 500 people were isolated, and the mayor of Hangzhou had just been here the day before, and as a result, the mayor and his party were also isolated. At that time, Ali employees took to the streets and dared not say that they were working in Alibaba.

In the meantime, all employees will go home, and some other companies may be dissolved. But Ali's work did not stop. Employees transfer their work calls to their homes, and even the elderly at home have developed the habit of answering the phone. Hello, Alibaba. ?

Also affected was Taobao, which was still in the confidentiality period. On may 10, Taobao was successfully launched, but the scene was extremely shabby or even bleak because of the isolation of SARS. No flowers, no big meals, no spotlights, no cheerful music, no surging crowds. ? In the slightly silent bedroom, Ma Yun, lying on the bed, faced the ceiling, slowly raised his glass and silently recited piously: Wish Taobao a pleasant journey. However, Ma Yun is by no means alone, because he knows that at that moment, the same ceremony will be held simultaneously in more than a dozen residential buildings scattered in Hangzhou. ?

So May 10 was designated by Alibaba as? Aris? Looking back on the suffering of SARS, I thank the employees' families for their participation. Ma Yun never forgets to remind everyone in the annual Spring Festival email to employees. On New Year's Eve, at eight o'clock, we are used to toasting from a distance to express our thanks and blessings. ?

Eight, completely banned by elephants

At the beginning of Taobao's establishment, the domestic c2c market has been dominated by Yi Bei. In 2003, the market share of Yi Bei and Yi Bei (combined into one) reached over 90%. Whether it is technology, capital, talents, occupancy rate or brand, Yi Bei and Yi Bei are completely dominant. And let it out: Taobao can only survive 18 months!

Taobao was completely blocked by Yi Bei. About how much does eBay buy a search engine? Taobao? After that, Yi Bei signed a one-year exclusive advertising contract with major websites. Even across from Taobao's office, a billboard on eBay Yi Bei was erected. Taobao can only invest in small and medium-sized websites. More interestingly, as long as it puts an advertisement on a website for a few days, Yi Bei Yi Bei will buy out all the advertisements traded online exclusively at a price of two or three times.

Going? Actor? Taobao, which has no choice, has to put advertisements on buses, elevators and subway trains.

Now, Taobao is already the most visited e-commerce website in the world.

9. Wenchuan donated 47.447 million yuan, only 1 yuan.

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, many enterprises announced donations to the disaster areas. At this time, an article entitled "Ma Yun donated money to Wenchuan 1 yuan, which made people's backs chill" spread in Tianya and Netease forums, and was distributed in large quantities through QQ groups. The article says,? Ma Yun only donated one yuan? A dollar is enough to express your attitude? Evade responsibility? What is the difference between putting people's lives in disaster areas in despair and indirect violence?

Announced during the national mourning? Only donate 1 yuan, is it reasonable not to donate? It quickly aroused the indignation of netizens, and the forum was full of? Ma Yun, get out? 、? Never go to Taobao again? Words like that.

And all this turned out to be a complete rumor. At that time, Ma Yun was abroad. He immediately donated 6,543,800 yuan after hearing the news. Then the whole company, employees and users acted together and finally remitted 47.447 million yuan. Contaminated at this time? Only donate 1 yuan? , reverse black and white, make the intentional competitors angry? Disaster money? .

In addition to direct donations, Alibaba also helped build the Qingchuan disaster area and used the advantages of e-commerce platform to build a platform for Qingchuan people.

Now there are two public welfare funds closely related to Ali Group. One is the community welfare fund, with an initial capital of 50 million yuan, which is supplemented and expanded by 0.3% of annual income every year. It is the first environmental protection fund of domestic Internet companies. Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin jointly donated some shares to set up a personal special charity fund, accounting for about 2% of Alibaba Group's market value, estimated to be between 2 billion and 4 billion US dollars. It is also the largest individual charitable fund in China.

Ten,? Stealing AliPay? farce

20 1 1 year, the incident of Ma Yun stealing Alipay caused quite an uproar. Yahoo revealed that Alipay, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, has been split, which has attracted attention from all walks of life. Many comments accuse Ma Yun of forcibly transferring Alipay to his own name for personal gain, while famous financial publishers think that Ma Yun? Steal the day? Did not abide by the contract? Illegal business principles? The mistake is that it violates the contract principle that supports the market economy, and the consequences cannot be underestimated? May directly affect the trust of overseas investors in China companies, forming a large scale? Alipay discount? . ? Others are angry that the VIE architecture widely existing in the Internet industry has been exposed to the world, and even the collapse of China Stock Exchange due to fraud is counted on Ma Yun.

With the gradual clarification of the incident, people found the so-called? Steal? This is not true. The management has discussed the transfer many times in the board of directors, and all parties understand it. Secondly, the reason for the transfer is to meet the requirements of the central bank and support the development of Taobao and other businesses. Even after the transfer, shareholders have been conducting transparent consultations on compensation. In the end, Yahoo, Softbank and Ali Group reached a complete agreement, which was praised by Yahoo and Softbank. Will it maintain the value of Taobao, let all parties share the profits of Alipay, and ensure that Alibaba Group can get value when Alipay goes public? 、? It is based on the long-term and profound cooperative relationship and mutual trust among Alibaba Group, Softbank and Yahoo. ?

Ma Yun's share in Alipay is less than 8% in Alibaba Group. Smashed the rumor that Ma Yun robbed Alipay.

? Is a man's mind very wronged? Ma Yun himself said so. When we see the achievements of Alibaba and Ma Yun, we should know that achievements are also based on suffering.

Stories of celebrities trying to dream of success (2) A British teacher named Brody, while sorting out old things in the attic, found a stack of exercise books, which were spring compositions of 365,438+0 children in Class B(2) of Pitkin Kindergarten. The topic is: I will be in the future.

He thought these things were blown up in the school when Germany attacked London, but he didn't expect them to lie in his house for fifty years.

Brody flipped through a few books and was soon fascinated by the children's strange self-design.

For example, a little guy named Peter said that he would be a navy minister in the future, because once he swam in the sea and drank three liters of seawater without drowning; Another said that he must be the president of France in the future, because he can recite the names of 25 French cities. Other students in the same class can only recite seven at most.

The most amazing thing is a blind boy named David, who thinks he must be a British cabinet minister in the future. Because no blind person in Britain has been in the cabinet.

In short, thirty-one children all described their future in their compositions, some of them were dog trainer; Some are navigators; There are all kinds of princesses.

Brody read these compositions and suddenly had an impulse. Why not send these notebooks back to his classmates and let them see if they have realized their dream for 50 years now?

A local newspaper learned the idea and sent him a thank-you letter. A few days later, Brody received several letters. Among them are businessmen, scholars and government officials, and more of them are people without identity.

They all said they wanted to know their childhood dreams and get their composition books. Brody sent them one by one by address.

A year later, there was only one composition book left around, and no one wanted it. He thinks that this man named David may be dead. After all, it is fifty years. Everything will happen in fifty years.

Just as Brody was about to give this book to a private collection, he received a letter from Blunkett, Minister of Education of the Cabinet, in which he said that David was me and thanked you for saving our childhood dream. But I don't need that book anymore, because my dream has been in my mind ever since. I have never given up a day. Fifty years later, I can say that I have realized that dream. Today, I want to tell my other 30 classmates through this letter: As long as I don't let the dreams of my youth drift away with the passage of time, success will appear in front of you one day.

Blankett's letter was later published in The Sun, because as the first blind minister in Britain, he proved a truth with his own actions: if anyone can keep his wish to be president at the age of three for 50 years, he must be president now.

Stories of celebrities trying to dream of success (3) More than 100 years ago, a poor shepherd and his two young sons herded sheep for others to make a living.

One day, they drove the sheep to a hillside, and a group of geese flew over their heads singing and soon disappeared in the distance. The shepherd's youngest son asked his father, Where is the goose going? The shepherd said that they would go to a warm place and settle down there to spend the cold winter. ? The eldest son blinked and said enviously. If only I could fly like a wild goose. ? The youngest son also said:? If only I could be a flying geese! ?

The shepherd was silent for a while, and then said to his two sons. You can fly if you want. ?

The two sons tried, but neither could fly. They looked at their father suspiciously, and the shepherd said, let me show you. ? So he opened his arms, but he couldn't fly. However, the shepherd said firmly, I can't fly because I am old and you are young. As long as you keep working hard, you will fly and go where you want to go in the future. ?

The two sons firmly remember their father's words and work hard until they grow up? When my brother is 36 and my brother is 32? They really can fly, because they invented the plane. These two men are the Wright brothers in America.
