More quotes by Jeff Bezos
For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
Jeff Bezos
Because, you know, resilience - if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you'd be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn't a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.
Jeff Bezos
My own view is that every company requires a long-term view.
Jeff Bezos
If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
Jeff Bezos
Cultures aren’t so much planned as they evolve from that early set of people.
Jeff Bezos
We are pioneers and the history of pioneers is not that good.
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
Do something you're very passionate about, and don't try to chase what is kind of the hot passion of the day.
Jeff Bezos
You don't choose your passions your passions choose you.
Jeff Bezos
If we think long term, we can accomplish things that we couldn't otherwise accomplish.
Jeff Bezos
It's not an experiment if you know it's going to work.
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
If you build a great product or service, people will talk about it. But it starts with having something that's worth talking about.
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
I'm going to go do this crazy thing. I'm going to start this company selling books online.
Jeff Bezos
All businesses need to be young forever. If your customer base ages with you, you're Woolworth's.
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
It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you're in boom times.
Jeff Bezos
On the Internet, companies are scale businesses, characterized by high fixed costs and relatively low variable costs. You can be two sizes: You can be big, or you can be small. It's very hard to be medium. A lot of medium-sized companies had the financing rug pulled out from under them before they could get big.
Jeff Bezos
We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details.
Jeff Bezos
