And he says one of the principles which has guided him over the years is something called the regret minimization framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our biggest regrets turn out to be regrets of omission,” Bezos explains. “It’s paths not taken. And they haunt us. We wonder what would’ve happened,” he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
