#155 Jeff Bezos (Shareholder Letters and Speeches)

You learn different things from your grandparents than you do from your parents. It's just a very different relationship. I spent all my summers from age four to sixteen. On my grandfather's ranch. He was incredibly self reliant.

If you're in the middle of nowhere You don't pick up the phone and call somebody when something breaks. You fix it yourself. As a kid, I got to see him solve all these problems himself. He was a careful, conservative, quiet, and introverted sort of person.

Not prone to crazy acts. One day he was all by himself at the main gate of the ranch. And he forgot to put the car in park. When he got to the gate, he noticed the car was slowly rolling down to the gate. He thought this is fantastic.
