What should our working life look like in our 20s to 60s?
Jack Ma, founder
Many people know Alibaba and the Chinese entrepreneur. He encourages young people and teaches them many things. In a speech in 2015, he speaks to the youth of South Korea and tells them how to be successful in life.
In this program, Jack Ma presents his proposed life path from 20 to 60 years old. Of course, this path is a general path and there are certainly other exceptional and successful cases. In the end, he talks about his regrets throughout life.
Before the age of 20
Be a good student. Wait to become an entrepreneur and have only a few small experiences.
Between 20 and 30 years old
Follow influencers. Go to a small company. Usually, in big companies, you learn the processes well and you will be a member of a big machine; But when you go to a small company, you learn to be passionate and dream. You also learn to multitask.
Therefore, before the age of 30, it does not matter what company you will go to; Your boss is important. It is important who you follow. A good boss will teach you in a different way.
At this age, make as many mistakes as you can. Don’t worry if you fail; You fall down and get up again. Learn from these failures and enjoy them. The most important income you will earn in the future is learning from these failures at a young age.
Between 30 and 40 years old
You should think carefully about whether you want to work for yourself or not. Do you really want to be an entrepreneur?
Between 40 and 50 years old
You should do what you are good at. Don’t try to jump from one branch to another and change your work; Because it is too late.
You may succeed with this change, but your chances of failure are high. So, from 40 to 50 years old, focus on the things you are good at.
Between 50 and 60 years old
Work for the youth; Because younger people do better than you and you can trust them. Invest in young people and make sure they do well and learn well.
60 years old and later
Take time for yourself. Go to the beach and sunbathe! It is too late to change now
The regrets of Jack Ma’s life
“I spent a lot of time working hard and very little time with my family,” he says. If I had a different life, I would never repeat these things. Of course, life is short.
Different experiences should be gained at all stages of life. People have different views. Some people think you are rich, successful, but in reality you are neither! Some people say that this person has no money, he is an awful person; But this may also be wrong. Everyone is responsible for his own life.
But now it is too late to regret. Forget about regrets. Think about what you will be doing in the next 10 or 20 years.
