生存不是无所畏惧。而是做出决定，继续前进并付诸行动，因为你必须这样做。

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.

当别人拒绝你的时候，不要在意。假设他们和你一样：忙碌、没时间、注意力分散。稍后再试一次，很神奇，第二次尝试往往会成功。

林业的未来在于平衡经济增长与生态保护。

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

我将为社会创造价值，而不是提取它。
