追隨自己內(nèi)心的熱情 16年前,我萌生了創(chuàng)辦亞馬遜的想法。彼時(shí)我面對(duì)的現(xiàn)實(shí)是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用量以每年2300%的速度增長,我從未看到或聽說過任何增長如此快速的東西。創(chuàng)建涵蓋幾百萬種書籍的網(wǎng)上書店的想法令我興奮異常,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)東西在物理世界里根本無法存在。那時(shí)我剛剛30歲,結(jié)婚才一年。我告訴妻子MacKenzie想辭去工作,然后去做這件瘋狂的事情,很可能會(huì)失敗,因?yàn)榇蟛糠謩?chuàng)業(yè)公司都是如此,而且我不確定那之后會(huì)發(fā)生什么。MacKenzie告訴我,我應(yīng)該放手一搏。在我還是一個(gè)男孩兒的時(shí)候,我是車庫發(fā)明家。我曾用水泥填充的輪胎、雨傘和錫箔以及報(bào)警器制作了一個(gè)自動(dòng)關(guān)門器。我一直想做一個(gè)發(fā)明家,MacKenzie支持我追隨內(nèi)心的熱情。
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.
