“Never outsource your happiness to someone else. Derive it from within by enjoying your own company.”

Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful and magical person that you are.

Don’t let others box you into their idea of what they think you should be.

Don’t fall on their level. Be better.

The heart never forgets what makes it happy. Happiness helps the wounds heal into scars.

Fight hard the battle of life and take the challenges with courage, determination, and perseverance.

Our perception is the lens we see the world through.

No one stays forever. Just learn to be happy alone.

The idea of feeling great at all times is purely fictional for a simple reason: we get bored of the same things, same feelings, same environments pretty quickly. If everything was always nice and great, you’d get depressed.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

Life is just another beast you were meant to tame, and there is no one better for the job, other than you.

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m Not hurt.

If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.

If everything is perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

Don’t let your past keep you away from your greatness today. Regret only lives in the mind. Release it all because you are renewed every second.

If Alibaba cannot become a Microsoft or Walmart, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

I am convinced that companies should put staff first, customers second and shareholders third – ultimately that’s in the best interest of customers and shareholders.

My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact.

A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.

Government isn’t that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you’ve got to have commercial companies do it.

A company’s employees are its greatest asset and your people are your product.

A company shouldn’t get addicted to being shiny, because shiny doesn’t last.

If you want to grow, find a good opportunity. Today, if you want to be a great company, think about what social problem you could solve.
