Jack Ma's Success Stories

马云

Jack Ma once said: "We don't have rich father, powerful uncle, we don't get one dollar from the bank nor a single cent from the government...Just work hard as a team." So how did Jack Ma did it?

He borrowed USD$2,000 from relatives and friends to start up his business. In 1999, Alibaba was born!  

One of Jack Ma's best advise to young people is to take any mistake as a 'revenue'. He also has this classic advices to different age groups:

- before 20s: be a good student

- before 30s: work in a small company and follow a good boss

- 30s: start thinking hard whether to own for yourself one day

- 40s: do things that you are good at and don't try new things because it's too late

- 50s: invest on young people to work for you

马云曾说过:“我们没有富裕的父亲,掌权的叔父,银行不借我们钱,政府没给我们一分钱。。。我们只有靠团队精神一起打拼。”

马云向亲戚朋友们借了美金两千块,并在1999年创办了阿里巴巴。

With a physique like a Renaissance sculpture and hipster beard, he looks better than most men much younger than him. So how exactly did he do it? Is it the food he eats or the exercise regime that he follows?

Wang Deshun first joined a local gym at the age of 50 and determined to set aside time each day to exercise in a bid to fight mental and physical stagnation. He exercises up to four hours a day, a fitness regime not all of us can follow.

Wang Deshun proves to the world that we don’t have to age with weaken body and mind. All of us have the same capacity to take in every moment available to us to live a positive and healthy lifestyle.

现年83岁的王德顺于2015年首次登上时尚走秀之后一炮而红,被誉为中国最帅的爷爷。

他的身型像文艺复兴时期的雕塑,留着时髦的胡须,大多数比他年轻的男人还不够他帅。那他到底是怎么做到的呢?是他吃的食物还是他遵循的运动方式?

王德顺50岁时首次加入当地一家健身房,并下定决心每天必须抽出时间来锻炼身体,以抗击身心停滞及老化。他每天锻炼大约四个小时,并非所有人都能遵循这样的健身方式。

王德顺以行动向世界证明,我们不必因衰弱的身心而衰老。我们每个人都有相同的能力来过个积极健康的生活。

Uncle Roger Clarifies His Position

Nigel Ng
Uncle Roger's favourite expression: "Haiyaa!"

Internet celebrity Uncle Roger recently got himself into trouble after his video featured another YouTube star who has been vocal in his criticism of the Chinese government. Uncle Roger subsequently remove the video from the internet.

Critics had accused Uncle Roger – he is a Malaysian comedian and his real name is Nigel Ng, of bowing down to pressure from China last week after a video he made with vlogger Mike Chen from the Strictly Dumpling channel was removed from his YouTube channel.

The video with Mike Chen that got Uncle Roger into trouble.

In a new video posted to YouTube on January 16, Uncle Roger clarified: "I hate drama ... I just want to make funny vigeos (he means videos).”

"I don't want to be involved in anything else - no politics, no drama. Uncle Roger love making people laugh. It's about entertaining people, no matter where they come from, and respecting everyone's culture.”

"For the record, Uncle Roger make zero dollars from Chinese social media so to see my nieces and nephews say I like RMB more than MSG really break Uncle Roger’s heart." RMB is an acronym for renminbi, China's currency - also called the yuan.

Uncle Roger also addressed his critics on Instagram, posting: "I'm not bowing down to anyone. Especially not to all the hate comments I'm getting. So if you're thinking of sending me nasty things, save your time and just hit the unfollow button."

The whole drama began last week when a video entitled "Uncle Roger Reviews Ugliest Dumpling Ever" was removed by Uncle Roger himself, who said was not aware of Mike Chen's political leanings nor his previous criticism about the Chinese government when he collaborated with the food vlogger. He admitted on Weibo - China's Twitter - that the video had created a "bad social impact".

"My staff and I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone," Nigel Ng said. "Considering the seriousness of this issue and the negative impact of the video itself, we discussed internally and decided to take it down from all platforms."

Nigel Ng shot to fame last year when a video he posted to YouTube criticising a BBC recipe for egg fried rice went viral. It was the right timing as the entire world went into lock down when Covid-19 pandemic hit.
