【題目】 All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd announced(宣布) that he decided to step down from leading the famous company he founded 20 years ago on Teachers’ Day.

“I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his leaving. "The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.”

The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his good-bye party dressed up like a rock star.

In fact, his rags-to-riches(白手起家的) story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, working really hard for years to develop his ideas. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought online shopping business to China.

Although his success has encouraged a number of Chinese tech businessmen. Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “It’s the dreams that keep us never afraid of difficulties,” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9.

Now the successful businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer?

“I’m not gonna teach English; I’m not gonna teach business. But I’m gonna teach young people how face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News. Skilled sailors(水手) were never made on calm waters. As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler, But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.”
