I copy pasted this from a post of Fortune Guerrero...
Jack Ma's presence was awe-inspiring. Though he talked about dreams, business and success, his message was centered on life's meaning, purpose, happiness and significance behind [and in] your success
��Top 20 insights:��
1) It's not technology that changes the world, it's the dreams behind the technology.
2) Continue to believe in something that you are so passionate about.
3) Small businesses should have bigger dreams, big businesses should do small steps to empower the smaller ones.
4) Don't be scared of the future or you will not have a future yourself.
5) Dreams have costs that we must pay. What are you willing to sacrifice?
6) Success should be inclusive, and dreams collective.
7) IQ makes you not do stupid things. EQ makes you work well with people. But if you want to be respected, you need to have a good LQ.
8)20s - 30s : Find a good boss and learn
30s - 40s : Find something that you can do yourself.
50s - 60s : Help others and mentor
60s - Up : Enjoy your grandchildren.
9) If there is a problem, there is a (business) opportunity.
10) Business is friendship building. Friendship is trust building.
11) Don't invite your best friends to form or join your company [While there are those who succeeded, most have failed]. Make friends with those who are in your company.
12) A cashless society can lessen, if not eliminate corruption.
13) In this digital age, internet connectivity is a powerful way to address or solve poverty.
14) Bricks and mortar (old economy) should not fear, but they must change to adapt.
15) You are most likely to encounter the same problems that others had. Learn from others not to avoid the challenges but in order to handle them better.
16) Service industry is the industry of the century.
17) The reality: Many people will not help you succeed [This is common]. Few people will [ This is rare]. Find the few!
18) It's not enough that you have a crazy idea. Everybody around you has to be crazy about it too. And if you have a crazy idea, don't talk to your grandpa about it (lol).
19) To be in business is to embrace your responsibility to affect change in the world.
20) At the end of your quest for success, you will find yourself looking not for money, but for meaning and happiness.
