1. Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos will step down from his post in the third quarter of 2021 and be replaced by Andy Jassy, the head of the company’s cloud computing unit. 

2. Jassy, 53, for years has been seen as a potential successor to Bezos, who founded the company as an online bookstore from his Seattle garage more than 25 years ago and became one of the world’s wealthiest men. 

3. Bezos, 57, the company’s driving force since its founding, will become executive chairman, Amazon said Tuesday in a statement. 

4. The transition arrives at time when Amazon seems unstoppable, fueled by record sales amid the pandemic and generating massive cash and profits from Amazon Web Services, which Jassy helped create and manage. 

5. The incoming CEO, who has been at Amazon since 1997, is likely to keep the company on its current path.  And Bezos isn’t going far, much the way Bill Gates remained chairman of Microsoft Corp. after ceding the CEO role.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. 

Truth be told, I never graduated from college. This is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

"The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?"

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. 

 She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. 

Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute / that they really wanted a girl. 

"So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: ""We got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?"" 

They said: ""Of course."" 

My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school."

She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college. This was the start in my life

1. The human voice: It's the instrument we all play. It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably.  

2. It's the only one that can start a war or say "I love you." And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. And why is that? How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world? 

3. What I'd like to suggest, there are a number of habits that we need to move away from. I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking. I'm not pretending this is an exhaustive list, but these seven, I think, are pretty large habits that we can all fall into.
