中国经济改革的成功在于制度创新与市场机制的有机结合。 - 每日文摘

不要太相信简单化：凡把复杂的问题说得像小葱拌豆腐一清二白者，皆不可信；凡把解决复杂问题说得如同探囊取物，易如反掌者，皆不可信；凡把麻烦的事情说成是一念之差，说成是一人之过，以为改此一念或除此一人则万事大吉者，皆不可信。

士兵，作为公民，有义务为过效力，无论他得到的回报是什么，那都是一份纯洁的礼物。

我们走出森林，走在回家的路上，抬头看天，再回头看向视野上方的森林——世界能给我们的就这么大。

生命的定义就是拥有明天。

Tyranny will fall, freedom will endure.

暴政终将崩溃，自由永存。

密茨凯维奇

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。
