藝術(shù)應(yīng)該是解放靈魂、激發(fā)想象力并鼓勵人們走得更遠(yuǎn)的東西。
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.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
The roads are full of crowds going somewhere, but nobody knows where they are going.
I don’t like to be told what to do. I like to make my own decisions.
I don't let negativity define me.
