Dreams are the lighthouse that illuminates the way forward. - 每日文摘

人生啊，是这样不可预测，没有永恒的痛苦，也没有永恒的幸福，生活就像流水一般，有时是那么平展，有时又是那么曲折。

路遥

故凡慕富贵、忧贫贱、欣戚得丧、爱憎取舍之类，皆足以蔽吾聪明睿知之体，而窒吾渊泉时出之用。若此者，如明目之中而翳之以尘沙，聪耳之中而塞之以木楔也。其疾痛郁逆，将必速去之为快，而何能忍于时刻乎？

你样样都好，样样比她强，你只有一个缺点，你不是她。

一个人如果能发现他的对手的长处，那就会给他带来不可估量的巨大益处，因为这肯定会使他超过他的对手。

蒙台梭利

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.

追随自己内心的热情 16年前，我萌生了创办亚马逊的想法。彼时我面对的现实是互联网使用量以每年2300%的速度增长，我从未看到或听说过任何增长如此快速的东西。创建涵盖几百万种书籍的网上书店的想法令我兴奋异常，因为这个东西在物理世界里根本无法存在。那时我刚刚30岁，结婚才一年。我告诉妻子MacKenzie想辞去工作，然后去做这件疯狂的事情，很可能会失败，因为大部分创业公司都是如此，而且我不确定那之后会发生什么。MacKenzie告诉我，我应该放手一搏。在我还是一个男孩儿的时候，我是车库发明家。我曾用水泥填充的轮胎、雨伞和锡箔以及报警器制作了一个自动关门器。我一直想做一个发明家，MacKenzie支持我追随内心的热情。
