American billionaire Jeff Bezos’ fortune has exceeded $185 billion since he founded Amazon as an online bookstore in his garage in 1994, which later turned into a tech giant worth more than $1.5 trillion.
The billionaire attributes his remarkable success in part to the philosophy of “learning how to turn failures into positive momentum” and as an example of the actual application of this principle; “Amazon Game Studios” for developing video games, which finally succeeded in releasing its first release after years of suffering and faltering.
“After many failures and setbacks in the gaming (industry) industry, we have achieved success,” Bezos wrote in a tweet, two days ago.
According to CNBC, the game “New World” was launched last Tuesday, which received wide attention from computer users, as it recorded an average of hundreds of thousands of concurrent players, until this rate reached more than 700 thousand on the day of the launch.
The game constitutes one of the important transformations for the Amazon game studio, which failed miserably last year when it tried to launch the “Crocible” game, so that the company withdrew some months from its launch, despite spending several years in its development.
In his tweet, Bezos wrote that he felt proud of the studio team for their perseverance, noting the importance of viewing setbacks as “helpful obstacles that drive learning,” and saying, “Whatever your goals, don’t give up, no matter how hard.”
Bezos was known to encourage his various teams to take risks, no matter how great, and accept failures, and the founding of the parent “Amazon” was a prime example of this. At the age of thirty, Bezos left his job at an investment bank to launch an online bookstore because he felt dissatisfied.
During a conference in 2019, Bezos told his staff: “We need big failures if we are going to move the compass — failures of billions of dollars. And if we don’t, we’re not moving enough.”
