Jeff Bezos's Speech to the 2010 class of 2010

A superlative speech by Jeff Bezos to the class of 2010 Princeton Grads. It is very moving and highly inspirational. I don't think I ever saw this side of Jeff Bezos while I was at Amazon (But then I skipped many of the all hands...). Here is the link to the speech

Take time to read it. If you are a toastmasters fan, you'll recognize all the elements of a good speech.

Did you know he was a tinkerer and inventor in his younger days?



Also, now we know where all the need for metrics comes from !!!! Note Bezos's passion for estimating various kinds of measures.
