Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos delivers graduation speech at Princeton University princetonacademics 8.99K subscribers Subscribe 5K Share Download 713,127 views Jun 11, 2010 Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos gave the Baccalaureate address to Princeton University's Class of 2010. Bezos graduated from Princeton in 1986 with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering. He was introduced by Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman. Bezos spoke to the Class of 2010 about the difference between choices and gifts. Cleverness, Bezos pointed out, is a gift, while being kind to others is a choice. One's character, he suggested, is reflected not in the gifts one is endowed with at birth but rather by the choices one makes over the course of a lifetime.

0:19 latest novel by Tony Morrison to an 18th 0:23 century edition of The Works of John 0:26 Lock having stopped in power tools and 0:30 and women's shoes along the 0:32 way yet the founder and chief executive 0:36 officer of the world's largest etailer 0:39 whose net sales surpassed 0:42 $24.5 billion in 0:45 2009 is only 46 years old and amazon.com 0:50 has only existed since 0:54 1995 making it even younger than the 0:57 class of 2010 1:00 the moral of this story is that the 1:03 right idea in the right hands at the 1:06 right time can change the way we lead 1:09 Our 1:10 Lives the idea in this case was 1:14 harnessing the power of the nent 1:16 internet to create a virtual bookstore 1:19 of Limitless 1:21 proportions the hands were those of our 1:24 speaker Jeff Bezos a self-described 1:28 nerdy commuter 1:30 computer science and electrical 1:32 engineering major who graduated from 1:35 Princeton with highest honors in 1:39 1986 and the time was 1:42 1994 when he and his wife McKenzie 1:46 Tuttle Bezos of the class of 1:49 1992 exchanged the security of Wall 1:52 Street where they worked at De sha 1:55 company for the uncertain prospects of a 1:59 com 2:00 startup but then as Jeff points out 2:04 failure is an essential component of 2:06 innovation and 2:08 invention if you know it's going to work 2:11 it's not an 2:12 experiment and amazon.com was nothing if 2:16 not a grand 2:18 experiment working on improvised tables 2:21 in the garage of his Seattle home and 2:24 using his parents' savings as startup 2:26 Capital Jeff defied the forces that 2:30 cause most young companies to fail 2:33 partly he admits through sheer Good 2:36 Fortune but also because of his 2:38 unwavering 2:40 determination to create the world's most 2:43 customer Centric 2:45 company and as he notes in his company's 2:48 latest annual report of the 2:51 452 goals that amazon.com has said for 2:55 itself this year 360 of them will will 3:00 directly affect the customer 3:02 experience while the word revenue is 3:05 used on only eight 3:08 occasions I do not advise you to start 3:11 off with 452 goals this year by the 3:16 way but this is just one of the keys to 3:19 Jeff's success another lies in his 3:22 exceptional ability to marry Commerce 3:25 and technology in creative ways in his 3:28 sheer invent iveness and willingness to 3:31 take the risks inherent in this 3:34 process indeed the history of amazon.com 3:38 is one of Daring 3:39 leaps one such leap involveed creating 3:42 the capacity to search inside the books 3:45 sold by his company not by designing a 3:48 modest pilot project but by committing 3:52 the resources to make it possible to 3:55 scour the text of more than 3:57 120,000 volumes when this feature 4:00 debuted in 4:03 2003 other Innovations have included 4:05 oneclick shopping online product reviews 4:09 by customers and of course the Kindle 4:12 reading device which we test drove in 4:15 three courses this 4:17 fall mirroring the rapid growth of 4:19 Amazon itself the number of books 4:22 available through the US Kindle Store 4:24 topped 460,000 4:26 in 4:28 2009 just 2 years after its 4:31 launch and there's no turning 4:34 back our vision is every book every 4:39 printed in any language all available in 4:42 less than 60 seconds Jeff has stated an 4:46 audacious proposition to be sure but as 4:49 Al Albert Einstein once observed if at 4:52 first the idea is not absurd then there 4:55 is no hope for 4:57 it perhaps the American Amer Academy of 5:00 achievements summarized our speaker's 5:02 impact best when it noted having already 5:07 revolutionize the way the world buys 5:09 books Jeff Bezos is now transforming the 5:13 way we read them as 5:15 well I like to think that Princeton 5:17 helped to lay the groundwork for this 5:20 revolution dreamer and doer entrepreneur 5:25 and 5:26 engineer refreshingly unassuming even in 5:29 the face of unimaginable success Jeff 5:33 has done his Alma moer proud it is a 5:36 true honor and pleasure to welcoming him 5:39 back to Old Nassau today 6:27 as a kid 6:30 I spent my Summers with my 6:32 grandparents on The Ranch in 6:35 Texas I helped fix 6:37 windmills vaccinate cattle and do other 6:43 chores we also watched soap operas every 6:46 afternoon especially Days of Our 6:50 Lives my grandparents belonged to a 6:53 caravan club a group of Airstream 6:57 trailer owners who travel together 7:00 around the US and 7:02 Canada and every few 7:04 Summers we' join the 7:07 Caravan we'd hitch up the Airstream to 7:10 my grandfather's 7:12 car and off we'd 7:15 go in align with 300 other Airstream 7:21 adventurers I loved and worshiped my 7:25 grandparents and I really looked forward 7:27 to these trips 7:30 on one particular trip I was about 10 7:34 years 7:34 old I was rolling 7:37 around in the big bench seat in the back 7:41 of the 7:42 car my grandfather was 7:44 driving and my grandmother had the 7:48 passenger 7:49 seat she 7:51 smoked throughout these 7:53 trips and I hated the smell 8:03 at that age i' take any excuse to make 8:07 estimates and do minor arithmetic I'd 8:10 calculate our gas mileage figure out 8:13 useless statistics on things like 8:15 grocery 8:16 spending I've been hearing an ad 8:19 campaign about 8:21 smoking I can't remember the details but 8:24 basically the ad said every puff of a 8:27 cigarette takes some number number of 8:29 minutes off of your life I think it 8:32 might have been two minutes per 8:34 puff at any rate I decided to do the 8:37 math for my 8:39 grandmother I estimated the number of 8:41 cigarettes per day estimated the number 8:44 of Puffs per cigarette and so on when I 8:47 was satisfied that I'd come up with a 8:49 reasonable number I poked my head into 8:52 the front of the car tapped my 8:54 grandmother on the shoulder and proudly 8:58 proclaimed at two minutes per 9:00 puff you've taken nine years off of your 9:07 life I have a very vivid memory of what 9:10 happened 9:12 next and it was not what I had 9:16 expected I expected to be applauded for 9:19 my 9:19 cleverness and my arithmetic 9:24 skills Jeff you're so smart 9:29 you had to have made some tricky 9:31 estimates figure out the number of 9:33 minutes in a year and do some 9:38 division that's not what 9:41 happened 9:42 instead my grandmother bursts into 9:49 tears I sat in the back seat didn't know 9:53 what to do while my grandmother was 9:55 crying my grandfather who'd been driving 9:59 in violence pulled over onto the 10:01 shoulder of the highway he got out of 10:04 the car and came around and opened my 10:06 door waited for me to follow was I in 10:10 trouble my grandfather was a highly 10:13 intelligent quiet man he had never said 10:17 a harsh word to me maybe this was to be 10:19 the first time or maybe he would ask 10:22 that I get back in the car and apologize 10:25 to my grandmother I had no experience in 10:28 this realm with my grandparents and no 10:31 way to gauge what the consequences might 10:35 be we stopped beside the trailer my 10:39 grandfather looked at me and after a bit 10:43 of Silence he gently and calmly said 10:49 Jeff one day you'll 10:53 understand that it's harder to be kind 10:56 than clever 11:02 what I want to talk to you about today 11:05 is the difference between gifts and 11:08 choices cleverness is a gift kindness is 11:13 a choice gifts are easy they're given 11:17 after 11:18 all choices can be hard you can seduce 11:22 yourself with your gifts if you're not 11:24 careful and if you do it'll probably be 11:27 to the detriment of your choices 11:30 this is a group with many 11:32 gifts I'm sure one of your gifts is the 11:35 gift of a smart and capable 11:37 brain I'm confident that's the case 11:40 because admission is competitive and if 11:43 there weren't some signs that you're 11:44 clever the dean of admissions wouldn't 11:46 have let you 11:49 in your smarts will come in handy 11:52 because you will travel in a Land of 11:55 marveles we humans plotting as we are 11:59 we'll astonish ourselves we'll invent 12:02 ways to generate clean energy and a lot 12:04 of it Adam by adom we'll assemble small 12:09 machines that can inter cell walls and 12:11 make 12:12 repairs this month comes the 12:15 extraordinary but inevitable news that 12:17 we've synthesized life in the coming 12:20 years we'll not only synthesize it but 12:23 engineer it to 12:25 specifications I believe you'll even see 12:27 us understand the human brain 12:30 Jules Vern Mark Twain Galileo Newton all 12:35 the Curious from the ages would have 12:38 wanted to be alive most of all right 12:42 now as a civilization we will have so 12:45 many gifts just as you as individuals 12:48 have so many individual gifts as you sit 12:51 before 12:52 me how will you use these gifts and will 12:55 you take pride in your gifts or pride in 12:58 your choices 13:00 I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years 13:04 ago I came across the fact that web 13:06 usage was growing at 2300 per per year I 13:10 had never seen or heard of anything that 13:13 grew that 13:15 fast the idea of building an online 13:17 bookstore with millions of titles 13:20 something that simply couldn't exist in 13:22 the physical world was very exciting to 13:25 me I just turned 30 years old and I'd 13:28 been married married for a year I told 13:31 my wife McKenzie that I wanted to quit 13:33 my job and go do this crazy thing that 13:37 probably wouldn't work since most 13:39 startups don't and I wasn't sure what 13:42 would happen after 13:43 that McKenzie also princ and grad and 13:47 sitting here in the second 13:48 row told me I should go for 13:52 it as a young boy I'd been a garage 13:57 inventor i' inv vented an automatic gate 14:00 closer out of cement filed tires a solar 14:03 cooker that didn't work very well out of 14:05 an umbrella and aluminum 14:07 foil baking pan alarms to entrap my 14:11 siblings I'd always wanted to be an 14:14 inventor and she wanted me to follow my 14:18 passion I was working at a financial 14:20 firm in New York City with a bunch of 14:23 very smart people and I had a brilliant 14:26 boss I much 14:27 admired I went to my 14:30 boss and told him I was going to start a 14:32 company selling books on the 14:35 internet he took me on a long walk in 14:37 Central 14:38 Park listened carefully to me and 14:42 finally said that sounds like a really 14:45 good idea but it would be an even better 14:48 idea for someone who didn't already have 14:50 a good 14:55 job that logic made some sense to me and 14:59 he convinced me to think about it for 48 15:01 hours before making a final 15:06 decision seen in that light it really 15:09 was a difficult choice but ultimately I 15:13 decided I had to give it a 15:14 shot I didn't think I'd regret trying 15:18 and 15:19 failing and I suspected I would always 15:21 be haunted by a decision to not try at 15:27 all after much con consideration I took 15:31 the less safe path to follow my passion 15:35 and I'm proud of that 15:39 choice tomorrow in a very real sense 15:44 your life the life you author from 15:47 scratch on your own 15:51 begins how will you use your gifts what 15:54 choices will you make will 15:57 inertia be your guide or will you follow 16:01 your 16:03 passions will you follow 16:05 Dogma or will you be 16:09 original will you choose a life of 16:12 ease or a life of service an 16:16 adventure will you wilt under 16:21 criticism or will you follow your 16:24 convictions will you Bluff it out when 16:26 you're 16:27 wrong or will you 16:31 apologize will you guard your 16:33 heart against 16:36 rejection or will you act when you fall 16:39 in 16:40 love will you play it safe or will you 16:44 be a little bit 16:46 swashbuckling when it's 16:48 tough will you give up or will you be 16:55 relentless will you be a cynic 17:00 or will you be a 17:04 builder will you be 17:07 clever at the expense of 17:11 others or will you be 17:18 kind I will Hazard a 17:21 prediction when you are 80 years 17:24 old and in a quiet 17:27 moment of 17:29 reflection narrating for only 17:32 yourself the most personal version of 17:36 your life 17:38 story The telling that will be most 17:42 compact and 17:44 meaningful will be the series of choices 17:47 you have 17:48 made in the end we are our 17:52 choices build yourself a great 17:56 story thank you and good luck luck princetonacademics 8.99K subscribers Videos About 271 Comments rongmaw lin Add a comment... @tinytim71301 2 years ago I

I wonder what he means by "service", but I like how he clarified that being clever and kind aren't opposites. You can be clever and not stomp on other people. The choice is what you do with your gifts. 14 Reply @jurvetson 14 years ago Incredibly inspiring. It really spoke to me. P.S. skip the 5 minute intro for the sculpted gem 4 Reply 1 reply @hasratsabit7116 9 years ago There is no doubt he has created one the most innovative company in the world, and he worked hard for it. But there are also other people out there who not only created amazing companies, they also kept their humanity and good work ethic. This guy has totally lost his human side when it comes to work ethic. The work condition in Amazon is almost the same as in a slavery camp. 27 Reply 4 replies @autum5170 9 years ago This is a life changing speech..Thanks to the Uploader 6 Reply @kelvinbawa 10 years ago skip to 6:15 46 Reply 1 reply @Researcher_YouTube 9 years ago Best quality = 240p?

But the point is, this is not a stage where you go about briefing the audience about what Amazon is for 5+ minutes. Everyone know, there could have been better things told about the same what was unknown. Reply @signoll 14 years ago For those bashing Amazon: It's much easier to hate than to love. It's much easier to complain than to create something great for mankind. You can hate all you want (to make yourself feel better), it doesn't make you a better person than the ones you hate.

Those who recognize this have earned the right to view this video. Yes, absolutely, "it's harder to be kind than clever." In these days of easy anonymity it's even easier than ever to be lazily critical of everyone and everything. In days gone, certain types of criticism would have earned a red dripping nose. 2 Reply @ほしかなえ 8 years ago My favorite parts start at 10:00 and 15:40 3 Reply @Andreas1UA 13 years ago Thank you, Jeff.

Everyone should hear this....fast forward to 6:27 if you only want to hear him.
