About Jack Ma
Jack Ma, founder of the Jack Ma Foundation, has been delivering a series of speeches and motivational messages on topics ranging from global economics and geopolitics to personal development and language learning. In recent addresses, Ma has commented on the shifting global order, stating that "the next 10 years will not belong to the strongest country" but to "the most adaptable one." He has discussed the rise of BRICS and digital currencies, arguing that the U.S. dollar is losing its grip "not because of hate but because of necessity," and has described Singapore's economic strategy as a "weapon" built on "discipline, clarity, consistency, and long-term ambition." Ma has also offered advice on career stages, suggesting that people in their 20s should "follow a good boss" and that those in their 40s should "do things that you are good at." Ma has also focused on motivational and educational content, sharing methods for learning English without a teacher and emphasizing the value of consistency, discipline, and learning from failure. He has stated that "failure is simply feedback from life" and that "the only people who never fail are the ones who never try." In a speech about time management, Ma said that "the difference is not in the hours, but in how you use them." He has also reflected on his own career, noting that he was rejected by KFC and failed his university entrance exam three times, and has advised entrepreneurs to "learn from the mistakes" rather than studying successful stories.
