Grab every opportunity. This is a famous saying that is known to everyone.

It says that
every time we say an opportunity, go ahead and try. Because if we won’t try, then how can we know
if we will succeed or not? This is the lesson that I learned from Jack Ma’s life.

Jack Ma is famous for creating Alibaba.com, a website whose aim is to support small
businesses and make China’s products known all over the world. But before he attained being one
of the biggest company, he had to face giants in the past. He talked to the government officials of
China to support his project but he was rejected on 1995 maybe because China is not yet ready for
the internet at that time. He did not gave up his dream, but rather delayed his plan for China. After a
couple of years, he decided to let other countries know China through internet. He created
Alibaba.com and faced eBay, which was one of the largest company in America. At first, he was not
making any revenue and losing money, however, he and his team did not gave up and created a plan
to overcome the problem. In the end, they succeeded in beating eBay, who tried to enter China’s
marketplace, and won against that giant.

What I learned on this video is that failing to achieve your dream is not the end of the world.
Maybe, like what Jack Ma did, delaying your dream will also work and if not, look for another
opportunity that you can pursue. Strategizing is one way of preparing. This is really applicable in
today’s time because the pandemic is limiting our opportunities so if we find one, don’t hesitate to
try.
