When I first had the idea of selling books on the Internet, I went to my boss and said to him, “You know, Im going to start this pany selling books online.” This was something that I had already been talking to him about, but then he said, “Lets go on a walk.” And we went on a two-hour walk in Central Park in New York City. After walking for a while, he said, “You know, this sounds like a really good idea to me, but it might be a better idea for somebody who didnt already have a good job.” He let me think about it for 48 hours before making the final decision. When I talked to my wife about this, she thought I was doing the right thing and said, “Look, you know Ill always support you, whatever you want to do.” So it really was a decision that I had to make for myself. I imagined myself at the age of 80 and saying, “Okay, now Im looking back on my life. I hope that I have had as few regrets(遗憾) in my life as possible.” I knew that when I was 80 I was not going to regret having tried this. I knew that if I failed I wouldnt regret it, but the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. 51. Jeffery Bezos went to his boss to talk to him about _.

Task 2 If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will bee weak, when you start using them again, they slowly bee strong again. Everybody knows that.
