當你質(zhì)疑別人都接受的假設時,真正的創(chuàng)新才會發(fā)生。
The real challenge is not just to feed the world, but to nourish it in a sustainable way.
永遠不要停止學習。世界總是在變化,你必須隨之改變。
真相不是你記得什么,而是你再也不能忘記什么。
寫作就是呼吸,而呼吸就是生活。
創(chuàng)新不僅僅是創(chuàng)造新事物;它關(guān)乎改變?nèi)藗兊纳睢?/div>
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't, and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires, a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil, baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
