Pieter, your post resonates deeply with me. Thank you for sharing it with your readers!
It's fascinating how, when the name Amazon arises, many express envy and jealousy towards Jeff Bezos, yet few acknowledge the immense dedication and effort it took to reach his level of success. Growing up, I held the misconception that achieving greatness in life, career, and relationships required extraordinary talent, a high IQ, or a privileged upbringing. However, I've come to realize that true success is born from vision, big dreams, and relentless hard work. Your inclusion of Jeff Bezos' inspiring quotes further reinforces this realization.

Absolutely. I agree with you for 100%.
And never underestimate the power of consistency: keep showing every single day and you'll be surprised how much you can achieve. :)
It probably also helped that his grandfather Lawrence Gise worked for DARPA who created the internet.

Pieter, If you ask Charlie Munger, or anyone who has worked at Amazon, you will get an interesting answer. I will just leave it at that.
