34Section 8*2,300 percent:ここで「2300%パーセントの増加」と述べているのは2300倍の記憶違いである。ベゾスが見たJohn Quartennanの1994年2月のニュースレターによれば、1994年1月にインターネット上で交わされた情報量は、前年1月と比較してバイト量で2057倍、パケット量で2560倍にもなった。そのふたつの数字の平均で約2300倍である。come across... : ～に出くわすusage: 使用、利用quit: 辞めるstartup: 操業開始（の会社）go for it: 頑張ってやってみるmake sense: 道理にかなう、なるほどと思わせるconvince: 確信させる、納得させるultimately: 究極的にgive it a shot: 試しにやってみる、挑戦してみるregret: 後悔するsuspect: 思うhaunt: 絶えずつきまとう、脳裏を去らないconsideration: 熟慮、考察path: 道、進路、方針JB: I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2,300 percent* per year. And I’d 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 I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work, since most startups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie told me I should ?go for it.I went to my boss and told him I was going to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on 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 didn’t 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 ?ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice.会社を辞め、Amazon設立という難しい選択に賭けた09Trackスピーチ
