Jeff Bezos on Success

What Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos,
the richest man on the planet,
with a net worth of $144 billion,
values beyond the almighty dollar:

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of
the intelligent people and
the affection of children; 

to earn the appreciation of
honest critics and
endure the betrayal of
false friends; 

to appreciate beauty; 

to find the beauty in others; 

to leave the world
a bit better
whether by
a healthy child,
a garden patch, or
a redeemed social condition; 

to know that one life
has breathed easier
because you lived here.

This is to have succeeded.


Doing what we love
as entrepreneurs and
business owners is
a major contributor
to our happiness as humans. 

And, more important,
knowing what you love
should be a top priority. 

If you don't know
what it is you love,
then finding out what it is
should be your first step.


According to Jeff Bezos, This May Be the Best Definition of Success He's Ever Read

How do you define your success?

Steve Jobs on Focus

Why you need the 30 per cent rule We live in an age of distraction.  Never-ending notifications, instantaneous communication, and easy access to endless information.  Fear of missing out moves us motivates us to try to do everything that our minds and hearts desire. But as you move from one shiny object to another, you'll slowly discover a fundamental truth: You can't do everything.  And if you try, you won't do anything well. Steve Jobs Used the 30 Percent Rule to Bring Apple Back From the Dead (It'll Work for You, Too) By focusing on the best of the best, Jobs transformed Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.
