When you are trying something new, skeptics will come in two categories, according to Jeff Bezos. (via CNBCMakeIt)
"For sure, we would be very naïve to believe that we're not going to be criticized. That's just part of the terrain. You have to accept that," says Bezos."I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago,". "I came across the fact that web usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year.
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,'" says Bezos."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 ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot," says Bezos.
