If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking - Benjamin Franklin

Did you know that Alibaba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group is worth more than Face Book, Amazon, IBM and Intel combined? Analysts predict that soon Alibaba will overtake Google, Microsoft and Apple. Why?

 They not only do not punish the crazy, they welcome and even seek out the crazies.

 When Steve Jobs was 30 the board of Apple fired Jobs for - wait - hiring brightest Apple engineers to create arguably one if not the most amazing product NeXt. Wait, Jobs was not fired, he was sued by the Apple board under instigation from John Sculley.

“He (Jobs) started NeXt and was sued by the board for hiring Apple engineers, but he was never fired by Apple.” - John Sculley.

 Hm... Jobs famously remarked, “It is hard to think that a $2 billion company with 4,300-plus people couldn’t compete with six people in blue jeans.” Indeed then it was hard to think, not now.

 Jobs was considered crazy. They sacked Jobs and Apple began to decompose. Just before Apple turned pear shape and ready to ferment into pear cider, in their distress apple board re-hired Jobs. The rest is history; that is until Jobs' death. Since then it's back to the usual business... Apple shares are sliding. Why? After all Apple produces same things... yep, same things, same things and without the crazies it is so much easier to keep on putting out the same things.

 I suppose we have nothing to learn from the crazies like Jack Ma or from Steve Jobs
