10 Life lessons by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos

If you can't tolerate critics, don't do anything new or interesting.

It's not an experiment if you know it's going to work.

I believe you have to be willing to be misunderstood if you're going to innovate.

I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.

Life's too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful.

There'll always be serendipity involved in discovery.

My view is there's no bad time to innovate.

Cultures, for better or worse, are very stable.

One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don't choose your passions. Your passion chooses you.

The keys to success are patience, persistence, and obsessive attention to detail.
