When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
当我们爱的时候,我们总是努力变得比现在更好。当我们努力变得更好时,我们周围的一切也会变得更好。

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.
Success comes from a combination of hard work, perseverance, and a bit of luck.
The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
