Senra: Bezos's annual letters are not investor communications — they are a real-time autobiography of his business thinking. Reading them in sequence is like having a 25-year mentorship with the world's most successful entrepreneur.

Bezos: 'If you are going to do anything new, you have to be willing to be misunderstood.' AWS, Kindle, Amazon Prime — each was mocked for years before succeeding. The courage to sustain conviction through mockery is learned through repetition.
