Tony Hsieh, confirms that companies with higher sense of purpose outperform 400%, while Jack Ma of Ali Baba also confess that;

“This month I’m not very happy—I think too much pressure,” Ma said. “I try to make myself happy no because I know that if I’m not happy my colleagues are not happy, and my shareholders are not happy, and my customers are not happy.

Maybe the stock goes so up, maybe people have high expectations on you, maybe I think too much about the future and have too many things to worry about,” Ma said.

These pressures may not be receding anytime soon. But Ma said the stress in his life is coming from more than just his job: Becoming China’s richest man has provided its own set of headaches.”
