如果你试图取得成就，就会遇到障碍。我遇到过；每个人都遇到过。但障碍不一定会阻止你。如果你遇到一堵墙，不要转身放弃。想办法爬过去，穿过它，或者绕过它。
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
2012年：贝索斯致股东信《长远思考才能做到不可能的事情》
君子安详而不傲慢，小人傲慢而不安详。
I don't have time to hate people who hate me, because I'm too busy loving people who love me.
I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarrass easily.
解析：比喻立志用功需要循序渐进。
Life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever.
You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.
翻译：鼓励人们坚持不懈地努力，最终会取得成功。
