The #NVIDIA CEO recently said in an interview with the Stanford Graduate School of Business, he generously wants the next generation of entrepreneurs to share in the same secret ingredient that defined his success (besides, perhaps, his signature leather jackets): a lot of "pain and suffering." "I don't know how to do it [but] for all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering," Huang said in the interview, as highlighted by Fortune. "Greatness comes from character and character isn't formed out of smart people — it's formed out of people who suffered." I have failed many times throughout my journey as an entrapeneur- starting many failed businesses, relationships, and suffering massive losses, financially and otherwise. But each time I failed, I rose from the ashes a better, stronger, and wiser man. In facing suffering, I've discovered it to be my greatest teacher. It taught me resilience, showing me my own strength and the ability to overcome adversity. From pain, I learned empathy, as it opened my eyes to the struggles of others, fostering a deep sense of compassion for the world around me. Suffering also granted me a profound appreciation for life's fleeting moments of joy, teaching me to cherish them. Through these hardships, I've grown, found meaning, and learned the lesson of just how fleeting and short moments in life can be. This journey has not only shaped me into who I am but has also prepared me to face whatever comes next with confidence and acceptance. I am a better man today because of it, both in business and in life. #BlockchainBoy #suffering #wisdom #stoic #stoicism #philosophy
