On progress: "If you're competitor-focused， you have to wait until there is a competitor doing something. Being customer-focused allows you to be more pioneering."

有长远规划的人不会在意眼前的怨言，承担重大责任的人不会拘泥于细节！这大局观，太厉害了！并且要有远见卓识，不要被琐碎小事所束缚！

杰夫·贝索斯接受了莱克斯·弗里德曼的播客采访

The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.
