Ma Yun is in his words
There are always many young people who want to learn something from me． In fact， I'm not as lucky as most of you． I tried 3 times for colleges but all failed． For the fourth time， I tried for the teachers' college and they accepted me． I applied（申请） for jobs for 30 times． You can guess the results． It was so difficult at that time． I was down but I didn't give up and fought on． So you can see a new Ma Yun now．
You are lucky enough． You are at the best time of this century． The best wealth you have is that you are young．
Among all the challenges， I think the biggest one is education． Something we teach our kids is too old． So we have to research what is the best way and what are the best things to teach our kids．
The future you face is not a competition for knowledge but a competition for creativity and imagination．
When people have problems， the chance will come． If you can solve them， then the chance will belong to you．
