做一个世界的水手，游遍所有的港口。

2013年：贝索斯致股东信《下放决策权以促进创新》

Don't be afraid of challenges, because they make you grow.

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.” We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

【大意】人的贪欲多了，就会亏损道义；忧虑多了，就会损害智慧；畏惧多了，就会伤害勇气。

I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

我不追逐成功，我定义成功。
