A rich young man decided that he would like to do some diving(潜水) in the sea, so he bought a diving suit and all the other things that he needed, and took some lessons at a diving school. Then one day he walked into the water by himself and began to explore（探索） the bottom（底部）of the sea. He saw a lot of beautiful fish and other things, and then, after half an hour, he suddenly saw a man waving（摇动）his arms and legs around wildly near the bottom of the sea. He was wearing only a bathing suit. The rich young man was very surprised to see him, so he took out a plastic notebook and a special pencil, which could write under water, and wrote, “What are you doing here?” He showed the notebook to the other man, who then took the pencil and wrote, “Drowning!”（溺水）

    I did not have a rich father. I tried 3 times for university, but all failed. I applied(申请)for Harvard for 10 times, but all failed. They didn't even want to see me. For the last time, I went to the teachers' college which was regarded as the third class of my city. I applied jobs for 30 times.

    A lot of people said Alibaba was a terrible model. As I said, "I believe it. I think this thing could be big. I never thought it would be so big like today. "I believe that something, something is waiting for me there, and I have to work hard to prove myself. That was the tough experience. So we gathered 50 thousand US dollars from 18 founders. Little by little, we built up our business. And now, after 16 years, we have a Alibaba group; We have a T-mall group; We have a Taobao group; We have Alipay.

    “You are so smart, how could you make a company like that? People asked. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, the Jack Welch, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, the difference between those people and other people, they are always optimistic(乐观的)for the future. They never complain. They always try to solve the problems of the others. When you are optimistic, it's always an opportunity (机会).“Jack, Where's the opportunity? I don't have a job. I don't have this. I don't have that.” We are at the best of time of this century. The best asset(财产)you have is that you are young. Don't complain. Let the other people complain. The opportunity lies, always lies where people complain. I saw a lot of people, especially young people have fantastic ideas every evening. But the next morning, they go to the office on time again.

    Tomorrow is new. Make the move. Make action. Whether investors(投资者)believe this or not, whether your friends believe it or not, whether your parents believe it or not, that's not important. You believe it. Your team believe it and work day and night on this. Everything happens. Make enough mistakes. You fall, and you stand up. Any mistake is an income and a wonderful revenue(收益). Don't worry about the money. Money follows the people. Young people should follow the dreams. If you have a dream, just to go ahead.

    Money makes the world go round. But money isn't anything when people don't know how to use it. And no one is better at using money than American investor(投资者)Warren Buffet. He is one of the richest men in the world.

    Buffet was born in Nebraska in the US in 1930. As a child, he loved making and saving money. He used to go door-to-door selling his own products(产品).

    After university, Buffet went on buying and selling shares(股票). Shares are small part of a company. He is good at predicting changes in companies. By 1962, he became a rich man. In 1990, he went one step further and became a billionaire(亿万富翁).

    In 2008, Warren Buffet became the richest man in the world. He has promised to give 99% of his wealth to charity(慈善) after he dies.

    Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. One day he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to the earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there? I'm too small and helpless." God answered, "I'll choose one of the angels for you and she will look after you". But the child said," But I'm happy here. I sing and smile every day. I don't want to leave."

    "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile at you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

    "And how can I understand what people say?" the child asked.

    "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.

    At that moment, the child knew he had to start on his trip very soon. He asked God one more question, "God, I am leaving now, so could you tell me my angel's name?"

    God smiled at the child and answered, "Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will call her Mother."
