Hello, dear Steemians! The person known as Jack Ma in the western world was born under the name of Ma Yun in the year 1964 and in the Zhejiang province of China. Ma had a difficult and unstable childhood because of his parents’ political activities. If we decide to summarize his life story with only three words, ‘rejection’, ‘perseverance’, and ‘success’ would be the winning nominees, but his inspiring actions move beyond the boundaries of simple abstract concepts such as these. This is the story of how Jack Ma became one of the richest people in the world. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSEf68L13jokNAhE3uN3DSiy32dSWakWXjshwwL62YQ7v/image3.jpg) img src

In primary school, Jack Ma often failed his primary tests which made the whole process of education a burden to go through. He also stated in an interview that he failed three times for middle school and had a difficult time attending it. After that, he tried to continue his education in universities, but got rejected because he did not qualify. He took the entrance exam four times before being able to proceed with his education. He then tried to enter the world of business and have a career of his own, but he got rejected 30 times. Jack Ma went to the police, but they told him that he wasn’t good enough for the force. He also went to KFC, which had just arrived at China. 24 people had applied for the job. 23 people got accepted. Jack Ma did not make the cut. Now, you may have already started laughing at this absurd story, but the journey of Jack Ma and his rejections does not end here. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYsoHjLdJpG9YCuQnCPwH7Jmw527F2RbUcMVAEQaS9fD8/image1.jpg) img src

Ma tried to apply for the Harvard University but got rejected 10 times before letting it go. In the early 1995, Jack Ma became interested in the phenomenon of internet. He tried to search for entries about China and its economical infrastructure, but was surprised when he found none. China did not have a prominent presence in the internet and it was then that Jack Ma first got an idea for a company of his own. He and his friends created an ‘ugly’ website related to China and Chinese products and soon got the attention of several investors. Jack Ma eventually went on to create many websites for Chinese companies and proved to them that the internet existed! ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQJp2D3uorSgsX16rebffXyEDgCnxhHFCDnwr5jQR1fYP/image2.jpg) img src

He eventually founded the Alibaba Group which is now an international conglomerate specializing in ecommerce and technology. Jack Ma has a famous saying attributed to him. ‘How can you be sure there is no chance for success when you are not willing to try?’ Friends, ask yourself this: What sort of spirit or mindset compels a person to accept rejection for so many times and still have hope for success? Would we also do the same? How many rejections would it take before we finally gave in? Three? Four? When people see failure or rejection, they come to conclusion that something must be wrong with them. Imagine how Jack Ma must have felt. But he went on. He persevered. ![image4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXuRFwewhvLuM8zuvVmzFFAPS2em8p6eNcFVxNKFpqPn3/image4.jpg) img src

With a net worth of almost $36 billion, Jack Ma is now known as one of the most successful entrepreneur and businessmen of the modern economic landscape, and is often ranked as one of the wealthiest people in the world. He might have been a police officer now, or a scientist alumnus of Harvard University, but he must be proud of all the rejections that he has gone through for his current situation. Embrace rejection and failure. It will do nothing but help you find the success that you have always wanted! A BIG HUG! @chbartist ================== Important Note!
