Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Influenced By Smarter Sri Lankan

Jeff Bezos describes how while he was at Princeton the smartest guy in the batch was a Sri Lankan. He goes on to say how 'Yoshantha" helped him come to a major self realization.

Great Srilankans. So proud of you. :)

[@lakshmandalpadado9066]

Why so proud of him? - what has he done to Sri Lanka? Be proud of our people here , who kept you fed and looked after during the pandemic -- Nurses, doctors, farmers, lorry drivers, etc. I value people who contribute to the betterment of our society. In my scale of valuable people -- farmers, Lorry drivers( deliver essential items to supermarkets) , doctors , nurses, engineers rank very high in the scale of important people. Cricketeers, athletes, rugby players , etc -- are the least important. No one is going to starve or die because there are no cricket matches.

Yasantha was the smarteset guy at Princeton.

@@eric8783 I agree.If the government do their duty right without corruption.It's gonna solve a lot of problems.A country will develop in a great pace.Not just the economics,how people think,the education,the discipline.My goal is to do something that's gonna help the whole world not a country.But if we shout at Sri Lankans who went abrode it's not going to help improve.And this Sri Lankan in the video is now living in Sri Lanka with unbelievable amount of patents and research papers.Big brains matter.But they should get a opportunity.
