More quotes by Jeff Bezos
One of the things that I hope will distinguish Amazon.com is that we continue to be a company that defies easy analogy. This requires a lot of innovation, and innovation requires a lot of random walk.
Jeff Bezos
I'm skeptical that the novel will be 're-invented.'
Jeff Bezos
You know, if you make a customer unhappy they won't tell five friends, they'll tell 5,000 friends. So, we are at a point now where we have all of the things we need to build an important and lasting company, and if we don't, it will be shame on us.
Jeff Bezos
I definitely believe people should pay for copyrighted works. And the laws are sufficient: They already require you to pay for copyright work. There's no confusion. The problem is...it's a heck of a lot easier to steal MP3s than to buy them.
Jeff Bezos
A lot of people – and I’m just not one of them – believe that you should live for the now. I think what you do is think about the great expanse of time ahead of you and try to make sure that you’re planning for that in a way that’s going to leave you ultimately satisfied. This is the way it works for me.
Jeff Bezos
The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it's so easy to be motivated.
Jeff Bezos
I have a strongly held belief that one of the reasons that Amazon has been successful is because we do not obsess over competitors. Instead we obsess over customers.
Jeff Bezos
Percentage margins don't matter. What matters always is dollar margins: the actual dollar amount. Companies are valued not on their percentage margins, but on how many dollars they actually make, and a multiple of that.
Jeff Bezos
If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
Jeff Bezos
We watch our competitors, learn from them, see the things that they were doing for customers and copy those things as much as we can.
Jeff Bezos
The people who are right a lot often change their minds.
Jeff Bezos
People loved their horses, too. But you don't keep riding your horse to work just because you love it.
Jeff Bezos
What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
Jeff Bezos
Cultures, for better or worse, are very stable.
Jeff Bezos
You have to use your judgment. In cases like that, we say, 'let's be simple minded. We know this is a feature that's good for customers. Let's do it.
Jeff Bezos
Obsess about customers, not competitors.
Jeff Bezos
We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details.
Jeff Bezos
When you are eighty years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices.
Jeff Bezos
If you decide that you're going to do only the things you know are going to work, you're going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table.
Jeff Bezos
Work hard, have fun and make history.
