2000年：贝索斯致股东信《即使在最残酷的时期，也将努力把公司打造更具“重量”》

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

"The best way to lead is to empower others."

人才是企业最宝贵的资源。我们必须投资于员工，建设世界一流的能源公司。

译文：人必须在事情上磨炼，才能立得住;才能做到安静时也安定，行动时也安定。
