How to be Successful by Jack Ma

I remember watching this talk by Jack Ma a few years ago.

To this day it still resonates.

Here’s his piece of advice for 20 year olds:

Before you turn 30 years old, follow somebody.

Go to a small company. Normally, in a big company, it is good to learn processing; you are part of a big machine. But when you go to a small company, you learn the passion, you learn the dreams. You learn to do a lot of things at one time. So before 30 years old, it’s not which company you go to, it’s which boss you follow. A good boss teaches you differently.
