In a speech in May to graduates at his alma mater   Princeton University   he recounted a childhood memory : when   driving with his grandmother   a heavy smoker   he calculated by how many years her addiction would reduce her life expectancy . Announcing the result from the back seat   he expected praise for his deft math . But his grandmother just burst into tears . Ad Policy The Amazon founder ’ s geeky obsession with numbers evidently formed early   and despite the glimmer of discomfort revealed by his Princeton anecdote   his fervently quantitative take on the world clearly still predominates . In a letter accompanying the 2009 Amazon annual report   for instance   he sets out a mind - boggling 452 goals for the company in the coming year . The word " revenue " is mentioned only eight times   yet revenue growth is central to the Amazon story . Expanding both internationally and across other products — nonbook sales represent 75 percent of total Amazon turnover — Amazon ’ s global business has increased fifteenfold over the past decade   28 percent last year alone . Sales in 2009 topped $ 24 . 5 billion . To put that in perspective   in 2008 total sales by all US bookstores were less than $ 17 billion . Amazon is today   by some margin   the largest bookseller in the world . Related Article Commentary : Colin Robinson on Amazon ’ s Bad Business The Nation on Grit TV Of all the goals in the report   Bezos proudly points out   no fewer than 360 deal directly with customer needs . The customer has always been king in the Bezos ethos   and the formula for keeping the king happy is straightforward . " Amazon gives the customers what they want : low prices   vast selection and extreme convenience  " he told a shareholders ’ meeting . On these terms   Amazon ’ s success is stellar . It has more than 2 million titles on sale ; bestselling books are routinely discounted by 50 percent or more ; and it ranked first in BusinessWeek ‘ s " customer service champs " awards last year . But dig beneath the surface of the numbers and a more complex picture emerges   one suggesting that   stats notwithstanding   readers and writers may ultimately not be best served by Amazon ’ s race to become the biggest   cheapest and most convenient bookseller around . Amazon has not grown to where it is today by being touchy - feely . Sure   it adopted the informal trappings that characterized many of the new technology start - ups of the 1990s . But if  Bezos ’ s  first desk at  the company  was an old door on trestles   the business conducted from behind it has been as ruthless as anything  he  encountered in  his  previous gig as a Wall Street broker . Soon after Amazon ’ s launch in 1995    Bezos  told  his  employees that  he  wanted a place that was both " intense and friendly " but that " if you ever had to give up ‘ friendly ’ in order to have ‘ intense  ’ we would do that ."

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Juan Orlando Hernandez ? Now  Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez  appears likely to win a second term on Sunday as well as bolstering the strength of  his  conservative National Party across the board.
" Hernandez  is not just trying to win presidential re-election   he 's trying to expand  his  power from top to bottom  including in the legislature and at the mayoral level " said James Bosworth  the founder of Hxagon  a consulting firm that does predictive analysis in emerging markets.
Fears of just that sort of consolidation â but by left-wing rivals â led  Hernandez 's own party to back a military coup in 2009 against a president it accused of plotting to violate Honduras's seemingly iron-clad constitutional ban on re-election.
The country's highest court backed the 2009 ouster of Manuel Zelaya. But the current court â packed with  Hernandez ' supporters â ruled in 2015 that the constitution could not prevent  him  from running again â outraging opposition leaders.
And corruption remains a major problem for Honduras  casting a shadow across  Hernandez 's administration.
And in September  the son of a former president from  Hernandez 's party  Porfirio Lobo was sentenced in New York to 24 years in prison after revealing his role in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy. Fabio Lobo  46  pleaded guilty in May 2016  admitting he worked with drug traffickers and Honduran police to ship cocaine into the United States.
