I got the idea to start amazon sixteen years ago
I came across the fact that web usage was growing at twenty three hundred percent per year
And i'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast
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 just turned thirty years old
And i've been married for a year
I told my wife mmacenzy
But 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 mcenenie also a prince and grad and sitting here in the second row told me
I should go for it as a young boy
Had d been a garage inventor
I'd invented an automatic gay
Closer out of cement fiilled tires a solar cooker
That didn't work very well
A lot of an umbrella and aluminum foil baking panalarms to entract my siblings
I'd always wanted to be an adventor
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
I much admired i went to my boss and told him
My was was going to start a company selling books on the internet
He ook him on a long walk in central park
Listeened carefully to me
And finally said that sounds like a really good idea
But it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job
That logic made some sense to me
And he convinced me to think about it for forty eight hours before making a final decision seen in that light
It really was a difficult choice
But ultimately i decided i had to give it a shot
I didn't think i'd 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 the less safe path to follow my passion
And i'm proud of that choice
