Billionaire Jeff Bezos: To live a happy life with no regrets by age 80, ask yourself these 12 questions via CNBCMakeIt

What's the secret to a long, happy and successful life? That seems to be a question we ask ourselves over and over.

The purpose of his speech, called"We Are What We Choose," was to emphasize the difference between gifts and choices:"Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices."

"It really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all," Bezos said."After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice."

MakeIt Immortality and the Kingdom of Heaven: Sell everything you own, yes everything, and give all the money to the poorest people in the world. Be a camel that can go through the eye of a needle.

MakeIt “You must have an army of workers and pay them pennies “

MakeIt There’s always regrets because no one is perfect...you just have to learn to live with it and don’t look back. Keep moving forward. Enjoy the journey. Don’t need no propaganda from Jeff.

MakeIt Exploit your employees, dodge taxes, get rich.

MakeIt As if reaching 80 is easy

MakeIt Is one of them “screw over as many employees as possible, especially during a pandemic?”

MakeIt Bezos is a piece of shit. I don't care about his advice.

MakeIt I can’t look at the 12 questions but I’m sure he had a lot of regrets. Even after the money.

MakeIt No regrets!!!! Seriously!!! What about the way he treats his labour force, exploits them n then become the richest man on the planet? JeffBezos should buy some ounce of shame with his billions n commit suicide. The world will truly become a better place to live..

MakeIt Don't work at amazon.

MakeIt He exploits his employees

MakeIt Is he 80!? How old ih he? 😌

MakeIt When your mega rich the compelling urge of telling others beneath the Wall Of Cash you sit on the magical virtues of life becomes characterized nature. Take the money away from them and they become one of the Crabs In The Barrel. Speaking a entirely different language. Sum Zero.

MakeIt He knows nothing. About anything. He's a parasite.

MakeIt Stop asking the extremely wealthy how to have a happy life. Ask the single parent working 3 jobs. Thats who I want to hear from.

MakeIt WTF does he know about old age and regrets?

MakeIt I’m going to take advice from a man who cheated on his wife?

MakeIt Why would anyone listen to the worlds richest man on how to live a happy life (zero money problems) with no regrets from someone who skipped out on his wife for Lauren Sanchez? He has more in common with MJ than the normal guy.

MakeIt Mans not even 80 yet

MakeIt How about just one🤡

MakeIt Question 1: Do you have Aids?

MakeIt Uhhh huh

MakeIt One of that 12 questions is DID YOU PAY YOUR TAX TO YOUR COUNTRY, SIR🤔🤐

MakeIt

MakeIt Dude's so vacant

MakeIt Doubt he knows the answer to his question..

MakeIt Is he 80? What does he know about living to 80.

MakeIt Life journey based on our personal capability and effort to take responsibility... the battery for phone can’t be used for car... it’s different strength and source of strength...

MakeIt Obviously not successful in maintaining his marriage. What will impact be on his children.

MakeIt Good business man. The rest who are we to judge .

MakeIt Did you repent yet? Who do you worship? You can’t say yourself anymore because I won’t even blink.

MakeIt Why always ask the billionaires to give advices, when we would never be that rich in our lives?

MakeIt Bezos is 80?

MakeIt who would take advice from a guy who sends his penis in pics or is a chronic cheater on his kids?

MakeIt Spoiler alert: 1-12 is “did you vote against Trump”

MakeIt Just because he has billions- he knows no more about life than you do !

MakeIt Awesome list. Jeff Bezos deserves all of his success. He is a king.

MakeIt NoRegreats

MakeIt you still don't wanna get married. no 1 priority dude. everything else below it.

MakeIt Coming from the man who got caught cheating on his wife. Happiness comes from your family. Business is great but it’s not who you are and it’s certainly not happiness.

MakeIt He is not 80.

MakeIt There is Something to Be said about Living Righteous.

MakeIt

MakeIt Can anyone truly be happy being one of the richest men in the world Does money really buy happiness The answer is ....... yeah ....... it does ...... actually.......most would be pretty darn happy 😃 💰

MakeIt By 80? Oh wow thanks for the information.. How about before we get your age at least 😂👍

MakeIt As an 88 year old I can say that Bezos 12 questions can easily be expanded to 15 with little effort. A couple of the critical ones are who will I choose as a life partner and how do I maintain a lifelong successful marriage and a hugely successful career?

MakeIt 1) Are you willing to fight your workers' attempts to be allowed bathroom breaks?

MakeIt Isn’t this the man that has cheated on his wife? Breaking vows? Breaking a contract? Is that the one?

MakeIt Says a man who is 55 and recently divorced
