Rejected by KFC, Remembered by the World: The Jack Ma Story

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • SUCCESS & LEADERSHIP Rejected by KFC, Remembered by the World: The Jack Ma Story How rejection, persistence, curiosity and an unconventional vision helped shape the journey behind Alibaba. RESILIENCE • ENTREPRENEURSHIP • POSSIBILITY Sometimes, the door that closes in your face becomes the beginning of a journey you never imagined.

We do not always see things exactly as they are. We often see them through the lens of who we are. Imagine a large, beautiful tree standing beside a quiet road.

An environmentalist might see biodiversity, ecological balance and the importance of conservation. The tree has not changed. Its physical presence remains the same. Yet the thoughts, emotions and possibilities it evokes are remarkably different. This simple observation ope...
