do you really believe that if you were at the right place and time, you could have created Amazon? I would not want to create Amazon. I would be emabrassed. To make any business successful, it takes hard work, vision, good management skills and then of course some luck and good timing. I know. I have done it with very little money to start. I believe that if Bill Gates, Bezos and me were given the same amount of money right now, five to ten years from now, they would be a lot richer than you or me. Not any wealthier than I. Many people have good ideas; what really counts is a commitment and single-mindedness to follow through and executing. I know many people with good ideas who never accomplished much at least financially. All they do is talk and no action. I am still waiting for Bezos to have a good idea.
