In my original understanding, Jack Ma is the most conscientious entrepreneur. His Yu'e Bao, Huabei, and Ant Forest all make me feel that they are beneficial and sincere. I am willing to believe his words. But since he said "996 Blessings", I no longer believe in his words. A businessman is just a businessman after all. He is indeed very successful, but he is not a saint. As for his "Now is the best time to start a business", I You won't be gullible. 01. What successful people say is not the truth

We are accustomed to reading quotes from famous people and regard their words as the truth path to success, or as our own motto in life. Especially for a successful entrepreneur like Jack Ma, many people regard him as the God of Wealth. They believe whatever he says.

In fact, this kind of thinking is very wrong. What successful people say is not golden words. Their words just have greater reference value and require our attention, rather than our blind belief.

If you think about it carefully, Jack Ma has also said before: "House prices will be the same as onions", "996 is a blessing", "I am not interested in money", are these words credible?

Just saying "996 is a blessing" reveals the ruthless exploitation of ordinary people as a capital holder. He saw that this measure could bring him success, but he did not Pay attention to the victims of this measure. Countless ordinary employees enjoy the "blessings" of 996, but as a result, their hairlines rise rapidly and their physical fitness declines rapidly. Many people are transferred from work chairs to ICU beds. Some even die suddenly and bid farewell to the world forever.

I am very glad that I, a programmer, did not enjoy this blessing. At the same time, I also saw clearly that he is still a businessman who puts profits first. 02. Starting a business depends not only on timing, but also on comprehensive risk assessment

What Jack Ma said: "Now is the best time to start a business" means that there are few smart people in traditional industries and are suitable for changes and changes in traditional industries. Innovation requires the use of new technologies and Internet technologies in the future to subvert traditional industries and benefit from digitalization. Those industries that have not been transformed by new technologies have great opportunities.

Objectively speaking, from his professional business perspective, there is nothing wrong with these words. The reality is that smart people are all engaged in the Internet, and traditional industries have a lot of room for development, which is quite suitable for them. Start a business in this area.

However, "now" is not the best time to start a business, because no one can predict the future, and no one knows what the market will look like at the next moment. Even Jack Ma cannot do it on his own. Take control.

We can find the way forward from his words, but at the same time we must remain rational and sober, and weigh how much we have. Behind the high returns are high risks. Entrepreneurship is obviously not suitable for every ordinary person, or even for most people. Many people simply cannot bear the consequences of entrepreneurial failure.

We must remember that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is also like "one general's success and ten thousand bones withered". Behind Ma Yun's success are the failures of countless people, and his road to success cannot be replicated in large numbers.

Therefore, we cannot blindly believe in Jack Ma’s words. We must comprehensively assess the risks and then decide the next step. What people can really rely on is themselves.
