每一次演出,我都当作最后一次。
Every performance, I treat it as the last one.
不要拘泥于文字而误解词句,也不要拘泥于个别词句而误解作品完整的意思;能以自己的切身体会去推测作者的本意,这才是懂得了阅读作品的正确方法。
Technologists should have a sense of awe, because code can change the world.
I believe that the best stories are those that are rooted in reality.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
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.
