A Quote by Jeff Bezos

We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode. — © Jeff Bezos
We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.
What I believe is that people have many modes in which they can be. When we live in cities, the one we are in most of the time is the alert mode. The 'take control of things' mode, the 'be careful, watch out' mode, the 'speed' mode - the 'Red Bull' mode, actually. There's nothing wrong with it. It's all part of what we are.
Usually right when I'm feeling it, right when it's happening, I always find I need to be in some sort of survival mode or mature mom mode, so it always seems to come later that I have the breakdown.
For an individual as well as a society, there is a gulf between merely living and living worthily. To fight in a battle and live in glory is one mode. To beat a retreat, to surrender and to live the life of a captive is also a mode of survival.
There is no sphere in which a human being can be supposed to act where one mode of reasoning will not, in every given instance, be more reasonable than any other mode. That mode the being is bound by every principle of justice to pursue.
If you are leaping a ravine, the moment of takeoff is a bad time for considering alternative strategies... Do it in the 'closed' mode. But the moment the action is over, try to return to the 'open' mode... because in that mode we are the most aware, most receptive, most creative, and therefore at our most intelligent.
I'm just in work mode, and that prevents me from going into the Hollywood starlet mode, I suppose.
It's a whole lot more productive to be in problem-solving mode than it is to be in behavior modification mode.
A man will be effective to the degree that he is able to concentrate! Concentration is not basically a mode of doing but above all a mode of Being.
The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.
When you're in survival mode, you numb yourself.
When I'm pressured, I have to click into survival mode.
We need to be in the open mode when we are pondering a problem, but, once we come up with a solution, we must then switch to the closed mode to implement it.
Like any startup in hyper-growth mode, growth often brings change, and with it, evolution in the executive team.
I'm actually with the classics in general in terms of understanding truth in an existential mode. Therefore, philosophy becomes more a way of life as opposed to simply a mode of discourse.
Beast Mode On is a state of mind. Beast Mode is about applying yourself and defying the limitations people put on you.
The iconoclastic mode, that specific mode of language, there is an element of it that it is punk - that is confrontational. That's just a part of the language of jazz - at a certain point.
