馬雲智慧語錄
馬雲 ( 1964~ )

一、領導比員工多什麼？
領導永遠不要跟下屬比技能，下屬肯定比你強；
如果不比你強，說明你請錯人了。
1. 要比眼光：比他看得遠。
2. 要比胸懷：領導的胸懷是委屈撐大的，要能容
    人所不容。
3. 要比實力：抵抗失敗的能力比他強。
    一個優秀領導人的素質，就是眼光、胸懷和實力。

二、年輕人必須思考的四大問題
1. 什麼是失敗？放棄就是最大的失敗。
2. 什麼叫堅強？經歷許多磨難、委屈、挫折，
    你才知道什麼叫堅強。
3. 你的職責是什麼？比別人多一點勤奮、多一點
    努力、多一點理想，這就是你的職責。
4. 聰明是智慧者的天敵，傻瓜用嘴講話，聰明人
    用腦袋講話，智者用心講話。

三、別把抱怨當習慣
1. 人是退化最嚴重的動物。跟獸比人很「弱肢」，
    和狗比人很「聞盲」，但人類「進化」了抱怨。
2. 我感謝這個變化的時代，我感謝無數人的抱怨，
因為在別人抱怨的時候，才是你的機會，只有變換的
    時代，才是每一個人看清自己有什麼要什麼該放棄
    什麼的時候。
3. 偶爾為之無大礙，但當抱怨成習慣，就如喝海水
    喝的越多渴得越厲害。
4. 最後發現，走在成功路上的，都是些不抱怨的
    「傻子們」。
5. 世界不會記得你說了什麼，但一定不會忘記你做了
    什麼！

四、談創業
1. 一個好的東西往往是說不清楚的，說得清楚的往往
    不是好東西！
2. 創業要找最合適的人，不一定要找最成功的人
3. 這世界最不可靠的東西就是關係。
4. 免費是世界上最昂貴的東西。
5. 今天很殘酷，明天更殘酷，後天很美好。但是絕大
    部分人死在明天晚上，只有那些真正的英雄才能見
    到後天的太陽。

Advice from Jack Ma
Jack Ma (1964 - )
English translation: Miao Guang and Zhi Yue

I. WHAT SHOULD EMPLOYERS HAVE MORE
THAN THEIR EMPLOYEES?

Employers must never compare themselves with their employees
in terms of skill. If they don’t have better skills than you, then
you have hired the wrong people.

1. Perspective:
Look farther than them.

2. Capacity:
A leader’s capacity is deepened through experiencing being
at a disadvantage, and being able to tolerate the intolerable.

3. Strength:
Possess greater strength to resist failure. A good leader is
one who has perspective, capacity, and strength.

II. FOUR THINGS YOUTHS MUST CONSIDER:

1. What is failure?
Quitting is the biggest failure.

2. What is strength?
You will find out once you experience challenges, injustice,
and resentment.

3. What is your responsibility?
To be more diligent than others, to work harder than others,
to be more ambitious than others. This is your responsibility.

4. Fools speak with their mouths, the intelligent with their heads,
and the wise their hearts.

III. DON'T LET COMPLAINING BECOME A HABIT:

1.Human beings are the most degenerate animals. Compared to
    beasts, humans are physically weak. Compared to dogs,
    humans are olfactorily weak. Yet humans are extremely
    advanced when it comes to complaining.
2.I am grateful to this era of change, and also to the countless
    people who complain, because the times they use to complain
    become your opportunities. Only in a time of change do
    individuals become aware of what they should want and what
    they should give up.
3.It is harmless to complain occasionally, but when it becomes
    a habit, it is like drinking from the sea: the more you drink, the
    thirstier you get.
4.In the end, you will realize that successful people are all
    “fools” who chose not to complain.
5.The world will not remember what you said, but will
    definitely remember what you did!

IV. ON STARTING A BUSINESS:

1.It is difficult to offer a clear explanation of a good idea. What
    can be clearly explained is usually not a good idea!
2.To start a business, find the right people, not necessarily those
    who are the most successful.
3.The most unreliable things in this world are connections.
4.“Freebies” are the most expensive things in the world.
5.Today is very cruel. Tomorrow is even crueler, but the day after
    tomorrow will be beautiful. Yet most people die on tomorrow
    night; only the true heros can see the sunrise on the day after
    tomorrow.
