Innovation is the backbone of modern mining—without it, we're just digging holes in the ground. - 每日文摘

经验表明，经营盈利能力最好的企业，经常是那些现在的经营方式与5年前甚至10年前几乎完全相同的企业。而一家公司如果经常发生重大变化，就是可能会因此经常遭受重大失误。推而广之，在一块总是动荡不安的经济土地之上，是不太可能建造一座固若金汤的城堡似的经济特许权，而这样的经济特许权正是企业持续取得超额利润的关键所在。

我不让成功定义我，我让它磨砺我。

I don’t let success define me, I let it refine me.

德雷克

岁月在令人欲死的炎热下站了起来，缓慢而无奈的日子，除了使人懒散和疲倦之外，竟对什么都迷迷糊糊的不起劲，心里空空洞洞地熬着汗渍渍的日子。

“爱”和炭相同。烧起来，得没法叫它冷却。

莎士比亚

拥有能量只有当你让它运作的时候才会有用，它就是你的最大的财富。

塞尔玛·拉格洛夫

技术的进步应该让生活更简单，而不是更复杂。

Technological progress should make life simpler, not more complicated.

李志飞

动心很容易，只要看到对方的美好，就能感受到心正在跃动；但爱一个人却很难，因为那代表所有他的好与不好，你都愿意包容与欣赏。

大卫·尼克斯

未来的竞争不是企业与企业的竞争，而是生态与生态的竞争。

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。
