Choices can be hard

What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices clever ness isa gift kindness is a choice gifts are easy there given after all choices can be hard you can success yourself with your gifts if youre not careful and if you do it will probably be to their treatment of your choices

This is a group with many gifts him sure one of your gifts is the gift of a smart and capable brain your smart will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvel that we humans will starve ourselves will invent ways To Generate clean energy and a lot of it atom by atom will assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs I believe you even see us understand the human brain as a civilization we will have so many gifts just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me how will you use these gifts and will you take pride in your gifts or pride in your choices

Founding Amazon

I got the idea to start Amazon sixteen years ago I came across the fact that web usage was growing at tu thousand three hundred percent per year I ve 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 could not exist in the physical world was very exciting to me I told my wife mackenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do does crazy thing that probably would not work since most startups dont mackenzie told me I should go forward I always wanted To Be an inventor and she wanted me to follow my passion

I was working at a financial firm in new York city with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admire I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on de Internet he said that sounds like a really good idea but it would be an even better idea for someone who did not already have a good job

Scene in that light it really was a difficult choice but ultimately I decided I had To Give it a shot I dont think I regret trying and failing and I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all after much consideration I took a less safe path to follow my passion and I m proud of that choice
