Education, Founding Amazon & Short Motivational Story Of Amazon

Coming back to the story, later in his life he completed his degree in computer science and electrical engineering from ‘Princeton University’ in 1986.

Then once while in a road trip from New York city to Seattle, he opened an book selling E-Commerce website. When he got to know that the percentage of people using internet increased by 2300% per year which was a very big number so this idea clicked in his mind and he left his job to start “amazon.com”. However he always wanted to name his platform as “cadbara.com”. later he opened his first ‘amazon’ office in his house garage with some of the employees and three personal Computers.

Instability & Blue Origin

For office and all other start up things, Bezos borrowed $ 300,000 from his parents, and once at that time his father went to the garage and asked Bezos “What is internet ?”, and his mother immediately answered with “Honey, we are not investing on the internet, we are investing in our child” and they both left happily. While after some months, Bezos’s online selling platform was working extremely good. But at that time, Jeff didn’t have that much laborers working for him, so he himself only use to pack the boxes and send them over, later after some years he founded “Blue origin” company, and now that company which was founded in a garage, is the biggest company in the world and recently in 2018, Bezos crossed 150 $ mark, and Forbes described Jeff as “A far richer man than anyone else on the planet” by owing 199.7 Billion USD.
