Jeff Bezos has said, "I've always tried hard to work only with people I admire. If you think about people you've admired in your life, they are probably people you've been able to learn from or take an example from. The smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they'd already solved. They're open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking."
