What’s not known about the business tycoon Jeff Bezos? A man who needs no introduction for his hundred accolades and achievements, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur an investor but mainly known as the founder and CEO of Amazon which also makes him the world’s richest man.
Jeff Bezos is definitely an inspiration to many. Coming from humble backgrounds, he even worked at McDonald’s as the “grill man” to earn a living at one point of time. And look where he is today!
He’s truly living the “started from the bottom now we here” dream. Am I right guys!?
He recently tweeted a quote which has been put up on his fridge for a long time. While Bezos inspires you, these words inspire him. As the words says it is what it means ‘to have succeeded’.
Love this quote. It’s been on my fridge for years, and I see it every time I open the door. #Emerson pic.twitter.com/kN8HjM4bOI

The motivational quote is written by US writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is encapsulates everything that we as humans must strive to achieve and how we must take it upon ourselves to leave the world in a better shape than we found it.
However, despite his attempt to spread positivity around the world, his tweet was met with mixed responses. While many appreciated the guesture others commented on the double standards of the Amazon CEO as accusations of poor working conditions in the company have been cropping up.

Jeff, you’re so shy covering up your artwork!!! We see it peeking through and hope you’ll feel more safe sharing it with us. I would buy one on Amazon!
