8 Reasons Why Being Poor At 35 Is Your Fault According To Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma

We don’t know who made it big first between Bill Gates or Jack Ma, but it’s clear the Chinese Billionaire lives by Bill Gates’ quote which says, ” if you’re born poor it’s not your fault but if you die poor it’s your fault.”

Jack Ma recently made it known that if you’re still poor at the age of thirty-five then it’s all your fault and you should not blame anyone but yourself. After twenty three of twenty four of his friends and family voted against the idea to start Alibaba, only one friend supported him and he went through with it.

He has obviously went on to become a billionaire so when he speaks you should probably listen. Here are eight reasons why Jack Ma thinks you deserve it when you’re still poor at thirty-five.

1. You’re myopic to opportunity

2. You look down on opportunities

3. Lacking understanding

4. Failing to act quickly enough

5. You’re poor because you have no ambition

6. You’re poor because you lack foresight

7. You’re poor because you don’t have the desire to become successful

8. You’re poor because you lack courage and determination.

The successful billionaire goes on to say, ” when you have not accomplished anything by the time you are thirty-five, no one will pity you. So go big or go home, otherwise you are wasting your youth”.
