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.

Once, there were two hard- working children, Che Yin and Sun Kang. They love reading, but their families were poor and couldn't buy lamp oil(灯油) for the children to study at night. How did they get over the difficulty? Here are their stories.

 Che Yin's story began on a hot summer night. He saw fireflies (萤火虫) flying and an idea came into his mind. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung it up (悬挂) as a light. He spent all of his summer nights reading like this.

 The other story happened in winter. Sun Kang woke up on a cold night. He saw the moon shine so brightly on the snow and it made the night brighter."I can read with the light!" he thought . So he took his books outside and read, even though it was very cold.

 Later, Che Yin and Sun Kang became successful. Their stories were turned into the Chinese words nangying yingxue. Difficulties can't stop young minds from learning. If there is a will, there is always light on the road to knowledge.

 Cats and dogs are some of the most popular pets. There is an old question-which one is better and why?

 If you ask me, I'm a cat person through and through. To me, there is nothing better than having a cat of your own. Every time I see a cat, I am filled with so much joy! Don't even get me started on all of the cute cat videos online. 

 Cats are very independent animals. They like to have their personal space. But this doesn't mean that they don't love their humans(人类). Cats may seem standoffish(冷淡的) at first, but they can quickly warm up to their owners and become their very best friends. 

 Cats can also be a lot of responsibility (责任) and hard work. For example, cats like to be clean. You usually don't need to give them baths, but you do need to keep their fur clean and clean their litter boxes every day. Not only this,    ▲    . Cats don't need to go outside for daily walks like dogs do, but it's important to give them a lot of exercise through playtime. 

 For me, cats are the perfect friends. There's nothing better than a cat sitting next to you after a long day of work. So why not choose cats as your pets?
