Liu Qiangdong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of JD Group, spoke at a sharing session today about his thoughts on "hardships", stating, "A person who has not experienced hardships does not have a sense of awe, anger, and innovation towards the world. They will feel that everything is deserved, which may not be good. But if there are too many hardships, life will be very painful." Liu Qiangdong said that for himself, whether in moments of glory or in difficult situations, he will always maintain a calm state of mind, sort himself out, and firmly do what he believes is valuable, regardless of what others may say. "I used to pay a lot of attention to the opinions of others and would get angry about certain things, but now I don't. When I see negative content, I even leave a comment to ask the author for advice." Liu Qiangdong said that as one experiences more in life, their mindset will gradually become more peaceful, "there is no longer that arrogance of wanting to stand out and say shocking things." Liu Qiangdong said that now he just wants to do well for JD, "Now that JD has grown to this size, it no longer belongs to any one person. At the end of the second quarter, 900,000 employees are like 900,000 families to me. Running JD well and making these 900,000 families have hope and energy is what matters."
