As an emerging industry in the future, I think the most important thing today is The important thing is not to make money but to gain experience.”

The original text of the post attached to Gamingdeputy is as follows:

Since the birth of Taobao more than nine months ago, I have come to the forum almost every day. Even when I'm on a business trip, I have to dial up and check it out. Since I type very slowly and cannot write articles, I rarely write posts to communicate with everyone. In fact, I really want to write something, even if I can become a “butcher shop owner”, haha.

The forum gave me a lot of happiness and gave the waiters a lot of opportunities to improve their work.

Taobao is Taobao for everyone! Rather than saying that Taobao is the result of the efforts of the store waiters, I would rather say that Taobao is the product of the efforts of all members! It is your efforts that have given Taobao the strong vitality it has today and the rich imagination it has for the future. . . Taobao is like a child who grew up eating thousands of meals!

Every time I see everyone’s positive and kind understanding, suggestions and support, my colleagues and I are filled with emotion. We have done so little. .

I firmly believe that the biggest beneficiary of a truly, great, and outstanding e-commerce website should be the users, and the biggest builder should also be the users! ! !

I understand that many members are concerned about their business volume. I also want to share my own views. It is difficult to make big money from the Internet today, but making money from the Internet will definitely be the trend of tomorrow. In the next 2-3 years, online stores, online shopping, and online sales will become an important part of our lives. As an emerging industry in the future, I think the most important thing today is not making money but the accumulation of experience.

Don't work hard for money at the beginning of starting a business, work hard for your own happiness, your own ideals and the accumulation of experience. Not only should you be happy for the money you have earned, but you should also be happy and proud of your creations and persistent efforts! !

The post is not long but it took a lot of time to type. There may be a lot of typos, haha, don’t mind!
