Internet usage was growing at 2，300 percent per year.Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most startups dont and I wasnt sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor.Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a pany selling books on the Internet.He took me for a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot.I didnt think Id regret trying and failing.And_I_suspected_I_would_always_be_haunted_by_a_decision_not_to_try_at_all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice.For all of us，in the end, we are our choice.【解题导语】本文讲述了作者创办亚马逊网上书店的过程，告诉读者坚持自己的选择虽然困难却是值得的。1What inspired the author with the idea of
