Dreams are the seeds of reality.
梦想是现实的种子。
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
有一个你无法解决的问题总是好的。这意味着你有事情要做。
音乐是我的救赎,也是我的枷锁。
艺术的未来在于它变得不可见的能力。
要养活世界,我们必须先了解它。
改变始于愿景,但坚持才能将其变为现实。
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.
