马云在联合国创变者演讲《机会在有人抱怨的地方》：
Small is beautiful，small is powerful.
梦想还是要有的，万一实现了呢！
Thank you very much! I am so humbled and honored to be here tonight. I never thought that I would have a chance in my life to be in the United Nations.
I learned my English by myself when I was 12 years old, for whatever reasons, I don't know. I just felt in love with this language. Every morning from 5 o'clock I rode a bicycle for 40 minutes, to the Hangzhou Hotel looking for foreign tourists to teach me English. I showed them around the city. They taught me English. Since then, I began to have a habit. You should use your own brain to think about it, just one more minute. When everything about it is yes, wait one minute. When everybody says no, wait for one minute. Think about it carefully. Cause if you look at the world from a different way, you may do it in a different way.
And tonight, I'm so honored to be inspired by all the game changer partners. By listening to their stories, I know there are so many things I should do. I can do better. There are so many things. And I think that here today I not only represent myself, but represent all the small guys, all the small business that I've been working with. In 1995 when I left my university, I told my president of university that 'I'm going to be an entrepreneur, do the internet.' He said, 'What is Internet?' I said, 'I don't know.' And he listened to me for two hours and said, 'Jack. I know you want to do something. I don't know what you do. But 10 years later, if you want to be back, please be back.' I said, 'Ok, ten years later, I will do that.'
I know as a teacher as I said, teachers always believe the future. You believe that knowledge can change people's lives. You believe and you hope that your studenets are better than you are. Students are the best products. Today, I am not a teacher, but I got 'CEO' in the 'chief education officer' of my school. I know that my colleagues don't like me because I talk a lot. But I say, I do the talk, you do the work. When I started my business, it's so difficult to be a small business owner in China. It took me five months to borrow 500 dollars. But I still failed. No chance. And I don't have any idea to run a business. And when I go to register a company, called the Internet. The register office told me, 'No, there is no such a word Internet in the dictionary. How can you register the 'Internet'?' You have to register another name. So he advised me to use 'Computer consulting firm'. But I had no idea about what is computer.
So my first company was Hangzhou Hope Computer Consulting Firm. It was tough without knowing anything about technology, without knowing anything about the computer. In the past fifteen years, I called myself a blind man riding on the back of a blind tiger. But those experts riding on the horses all failed. We survived. Because we worried about the future. We believed in the future. We chanegd ourselves. We never complained about others. And we believe one thing, I told the teacher in my apartment, 'We have to prove ourselves, because if we can be successful, 80% of the yong people can be successful. '
We don't have a rich father. We have no powerful uncle. We did not get one dollar from the government. We did not get one dollar from the back. We started from zero. So we have to work hard. It's not to prove ourselves, but to prove our generation, prove the Internet power. So this is what I want to share with young people. And the other thing I believe is small is beautiful. If nobody helps the small guys, we can use the Internet to help the small guys. Multi-national companies were taken good care of by the Wall Street. Only small businesses had nobody to help them. If we create value for them, then we will succeed.
Our philosophy is that if you can help others be successful, you will be successful. I'm a person who beleive the future, believe young people, believe innovation. And today I want to say one thing as the General Secretary said, the world is full of problems. Today, the world is full of complaints. I complained when I was 20 years old. There are Microsoft, IBM, CISCO. They are all big companies. We are helpless because they are too big. We complained. But now I never complain. I say I am a big guy too. I want to tell young people, where most people complain where the opportunity is. Some people complain and some people start to change themselves, changing tohers. Where the opportunities are is where the complaints are. Where the trouble, where the opportunities. I always believe it, and this is how we go through.
The last but very important, I'm going to give a a T-shirt. Another T-shirt, right? This is a special T-shirt of Alibaba IPO. It's all made by small guys. And this is a small guy. And small is beautiful, small is powerful. But in this T-shirt, very few people know that we have a secret code of Alibaba's success. Just like the open sesame, there's a secret for Alibaba. The secret code for everybody is 'Keep your dream alive. Because it might come true someday.' This is what the secret code is. Thank you very much.
