写作是一种乐观的行为。如果你觉得它不重要，你就不会费心去做。
犯错是人之常情。承担你的错误是神圣的。没有什么比迅速承认你所犯的错误，并承担个人责任，然后公平地纠正错位更能提升一个人的地位。如果你搞砸了，大胆承认错误吧。这种力量非常强大。
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.
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.
