Not change in next ten years

There are various places across the web that attribute a long quotation to Bezos about how the important question is not, "What will change in the next 10 years" but "what will NOT change in the next 10 years." Here is a version of it on Goodreads, for example.

Anybody able to locate its origin, and whether it was Bezos?
