Jeff Bezos' Long-Term Vision Aligns with Montesquieu's Philosophy on Success

Quote by Montesquieu: 'Success of most things depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed'

Jeff Bezos led Amazon by prioritizing a long-term vision rather than chasing short-term gains. This perspective aligns with Montesquieu's philosophy that success is often a lengthy journey. Misjudging project timeframes can lead to distress and hasty strategy changes. Insights from modern behavioral science highlight the planning fallacy and sunk cost biases. To excel in any domain, it is crucial to accurately grasp how long true mastery takes.
