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. Its branches stretch towards the sky, its leaves dance in the breeze, and its shade offers relief from the afternoon sun. A child might see a place to discover birds and nests.

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...

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE • AI & TECHNOLOGY Google Dreambeans AI Arrives in India How an experimental AI app transforms everyday digital activity into personalised stories, ideas and discoveries.

This is the idea behind Dreambeans , an experimental artificial intelligence application developed by Google Labs. The app has now arrived in India, bringing a new approach to personalised AI experiences. ...
