很多时候你的丧失行动力，恰恰是另外一种可怕的行动力的展现。所谓颓废、抑郁，其本质不过是指一种变相的自我攻击。

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。

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.

旧恨前欢，心事两无据。

苏轼

The most important things are hardest to tell,because words shrink their importance.It's not easy to let strangers care about the good things in your life.

重要的事情往往难以启齿，因为言语会缩小其重要性；要让素未平生的人在意你生命中的美好事物，原本就不容易。

弗兰克·德拉邦特

人常说，浮得高，跌得重，不管到了什么时候，咱为人的根本不能丢。

不追随别人的人，跌跌撞撞走出丛林，又掉进一个深渊；这种滋味年轻的后来者总有一天也会尝到。

苏珊·桑塔格

"Every role I take is a piece of my soul that I leave behind."

我扮演的每一个角色都是我留下的一片灵魂。
