#376 Jensen Huang: Founder of Nvidia
Early Life Challenges
- Jensen Huang's family immigrated to the US when he was four, facing significant challenges like language barriers and financial hardship.
- His parents prioritized education, sending him to a reform school they mistakenly believed was a prep school.
Embrace Challenges
- Embrace challenges and develop resilience, as excellence often stems from overcoming difficulties.
- Jensen's experiences taught him to tolerate discomfort and not be afraid of new situations.
Honing the Sword at LSI Logic
- At LSI Logic, Jensen learned the "honing the sword" philosophy.
- This emphasizes seeking conflict to refine ideas, similar to Jeff Bezos' preference for conflict over agreement.
