[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jeff Bezos ? Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos agree: It pays to take risks.
" Jeff Bezos  — and I follow this to a T — I was reading   he  said  'Look  you don't want to be [80] years old and look back and ask yourself ... why didn't I do this? Why didn't I try it?" Cuban says.
While speaking at the Summit Series conference in Los Angeles   Bezos  revealed  he  was indeed thinking something similar when  he  quit  his  good job on Wall Street to found Amazon.
"For me  the best way to think about it was to project  myself  forward to age 80 "  Bezos  says. "When I'm 80 years old  I want to have minimized the number of regrets that I have. I don't want to be 80 years old  in a quiet moment of reflection thinking back over my life  and cataloging a bunch of major regrets.
"I decided I had to give it a shot "  Bezos  says in a 2010 baccalaureate address at Princeton. "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."
Cuban  worth $3.3 billion  agrees that pushing  himself  to experience new things has been worth it.
"Maybe it will come back to haunt me  all the fun I've had  but I've had fun "  he  says.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jeb Hensarling ? WASHINGTON  DC â Yet another establishment insider has announced he wonât run for re-election in 2018  Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas.
NEWS:  Rep. Jeb Hensarling  R-Texas   retiring. Will not run for re-election in 2018. Story TK â David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) October 31  2017
 House Financial Services Committee Chairman Hensarling  issued a statement the same day regarding  his  retirement:
 Jeb Hensarling  has been a tremendous public servant for the people of Texas  most recently as the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee on which I am privileged to serve.  Jeb âs strong grasp of policy and  his  strong conservative principles have been an invaluable asset to the Republican Conference in  his  eight terms as a Member of the House of Representatives. As  Jeb  enters this next chapter of life  my colleagues and I wish  him  the very best in whatever path  he  chooses to take.
In March  as one of Speaker Paul Ryanâs attempts are repealing and replacing Obamacare failed   Hensarling  offered what Reuters described as âeffusiveâ praise of Ryan. In  April Hensarling  joined Ryan and several other Representatives on a trip to Europe with the stated goal of âstrengthening economic and security ties with our NATO partners.â  Hensarling  has been called on and floated as a possibility in the past to run a challenge to John Boehner  and later Ryan  for the position of Speaker of the House  but has refused to do so. In November 2016 the Texas Tribune called Hensarling âone of Ryanâs closest friends in the House.â

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 ."
