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 Terrance Williams ? Terrance Williams of New Jersey  had similar concerns about the ordeal.  He  was in the middle of the bus when the confusion started.
“The law is you see emergency lights  you pull over ”  Williams  said. “(The police) were in front of us  they were in back of us.”
 Williams  said at one point  he  thought the police were escorting the bus  not realizing the situation on the back of the bus.
Eventually  the bus stopped  and the passengers were escorted off the Greyhound one by one   Williams  said.
“They treated us like we were criminals  like we did something wrong ”  Williams  said. “OK  if you got the person you’re looking for and everything’s done  why are you detaining us?

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Kardashian ? Kim Kardashian's family may be growing with baby No. 3  but  her  professional inner circle is shrinking.
 Kardashian  37   has cut ties with  her  longtime assistant  Stephanie Shepherd — just after  Kim  expressed  her  displeasure with Shepherd's cozy relationship with sister Kourtney.
Shepherd has been by  Kardashian 's side since 2013  when she scored the gig as  Kim 's assistant with a connection from former Pussycat Doll Robin Antin.
Since joining the  Kardashian  crew  Shepherd's role has expanded — though it seems her attempt to assume more responsibility was ultimately what made  Kim  cut her loose.
 Kim Kardashian  accidentally reveals  her  new baby’s gender
" Kim  made a decision to let Stephanie go.  She  was a good assistant but when Stephanie wanted to transition into a larger role with  Kim 's brand and businesses  it just didn't work " sources told People. " Kim  gave  her  the chance but after a short period of time it became clear that Stephane just didn't have the knowledge to take on a role like that.  Kim  made an executive decision to part ways."

Shepherd revealed in May that she'd been promoted to COO of Kardashian West Brands  and considered herself " Kim 's liaison" rather than her assistant.
And though the formerly inseparable pair "aren't really speaking" at the moment  according to sources  Shepherd is likely still speaking to  Kim 's sister Kourtney.
In a recent episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians "  Kim  grilled Kourtney on  her  close relationship with Shepherd  which  Kim  deemed "unprofessional."

"Do you find it weird that you're like  'wifey' with my assistant?"  Kim  asked Kourtney  who then asked if it bothered her.
"Kind of "  Kim  responded. "What if all of a sudden I became BFF with Megan? I think you would definitely be like  'That's weird.'"
Kourtney then revealed that Shepherd had been confiding in her about her problems with working for  Kim .
