ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.

What Jeff Bezos actually said

Word for word, with the source under each one. They did not write this page.

  1. Jeff Bezos

    Founder of Amazon in 1994 and of the space company Blue Origin in 2000
