1£®Have you ever heard of an old saying£¿Intelligence is a born ability while goodness is a choice£®Gifts are easy-they're given after all£®Choice can be hard£®I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago£®I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 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 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 to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't and I wasn't sure what to expect£®MacKenzie told me I should go for it£®As a young boy£¬I'd been a garage inventor£®I'd 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 admired£®I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet£®He took me on a long walk in Central Park£¬listened 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 48 hours before making a final decision£®Seen in that light£¬it really was a difficult choice£¬but finally£¬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£®For all of us£¬in the end£¬we are our choice£®
