I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year.Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30 years old，and Id been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start－ups dont go for it.As a young boy，Id been a garage inventor.Id always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York with a bunch of very smart people，and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.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 didnt already have a good job.” 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 to give it a shot.I didnt think Id regret trying and failing.And_I_suspected_I_would_always_be haunted_by_a decision not_to_try_at_all.
