In his heartfelt commencement speech, Jeff Bezos shares personal anecdotes from his childhood summers spent on his grandparents' ranch in Texas, highlighting the lessons he learned from those experiences. He fondly recalls helping with chores, watching soap operas, and traveling across the country with his grandparents in their Airstream trailer.
One particular memory stands out: at the age of ten, Bezos calculated the impact of his grandmother's smoking on her lifespan and proudly shared his findings, expecting praise for his cleverness. Instead, his grandmother burst into tears, leading to a quiet but profound moment with his grandfather. His grandfather gently taught him that being kind is often more challenging and more important than being clever.
Bezos uses this story to emphasize the difference between gifts and choices. He explains that cleverness is a gift, while kindness is a choice, and urges the graduates to prioritize their choices over their innate gifts. He encourages them to choose kindness, as choices define who we become and shape our impact on the world.
