Alibaba founder Jack Ma was rejected from 30 jobs, including KFC, before becoming China's richest man Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/alibaba-founder-jack-ma-on-rejection-2015-2#ixzz3S7YIhps9

Jack Ma is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world.
His e-commerce company, Alibaba, attracts 100 million shoppers a day. Ma is worth an estimate $20.4 billion.
But before he was the richest person in China, Ma went through a lot of rejection.
In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, the businessman revealed that he failed a college entrance exam three times.
Once he ruled out college, Ma applied for 30 different jobs and got rejected.
"I went for a job with the police; they said, 'you're no good,'" Ma told Rose. "I even went to KFC when it came to my city. Twenty-four people went for the job. Twenty-three were accepted. I was the only guy ..."
When Ma founded Alibaba in 1998, he was met with more obstacles. 
The brand did not turn a profit for the first three years, and Ma had to get creative. One of the company's main challenges was that it had no way to do payments, and no banks would work with him. 
Ma decided to start his own payment program called Alipay. The program transfers payments of different currencies between international buyers and sellers. 
"So many people I talked to at that time about Alipay, they said, 'This is the stupidest idea you've ever had,'" he said. "I didn't care if it was stupid as long as people could use it."
Today, 800 million people use Alipay.

Whoopi Goldberg reportedly urged to stay at 'The View'

Believe it or not, reports of more drama at the "The View." Whoopi Goldberg was or is all set to play a lead role in a new ABC comedy pilot, but she may or may not have been pulled from it by ABC execs.
Tuesday evening, multiple outlets said Goldberg would star in a new comedy, "Delores & Jermaine," but that the filming schedule would let her keep her role as co-host of the "The View."

But Tuesday night, a very different claim from The New York Post, which cited anonymous sources.

The Post said Goldberg planned to completely leave "The View" to focus on the new show, and that ABC execs had changed their minds about letting her go because of Rosie O'Donnell's exit just last week.

"Thank you to all the cast here, and the crew."

O'Donnell left after just five months back on "The View," saying she needed to focus on family and her health.

Still, Goldberg's not switching networks or anything here with the potential new show, so would it really be a problem? She weighed in with the Post, and seemed to deny reports she couldn't do what she pleased, but also to hint at turmoil.

"I've always been able to come and go as I choose. ... I have a really good job, but I also have bosses. They make decisions ... sometimes you don't like them and you have to live with them."

The continued drama comes amidst months of reports on declining ratings and behind-the-scenes drama for the show. Things have been far from smooth sailing since Barbara Walters' departure last year.

Goldberg is the last woman standing from the old cast at this point, so ABC may feel it needs her to focus on pushing the show back to success.

But if Goldberg does move forward with the ABC pilot, it would be her first full-time scripted series since about 10 years ago, when she was on the short-lived NBC show, "Whoopi."
