I do not like Jeff Benzos as an individual but I do like a quote that he shared with people.

*When you are making an invention always think how it would change people's life , how would it change their future*

I don't really remember word to word but yes.

Another one from a rich person was:

*Never invest into something that would loose value in the future*

For example if you invest in a car, you would enjoy it for a while and in the future it would slowly loose its value. But when you actually invest in something like gold/Bitcoins/property then you can enjoy that investment for years to come.

I do believe what you are saying might be true on the papers but when it come to reality it's really hard to pair up these things like that . There is a difference between the Theory and practical part.
