I loved the video from Jeff Bezos explaining Amazon's beginning:

"It was a great moment when we would examine every order coming into Amazon. And it was always a family member placing the order. And the first order we got from a stranger, I remember, there was probabaly 10 of us in the company. We were all gathered around after the bell rang, looking at the order. And we were like 'Is that your mom?', 'Thats not my mom!'. And thus, it began."

Can totally relate to this feeling.
