Wow. These Jensen Hueng concepts are game-changers. Nuggets of stoic wisdom. 1) It's better to have low expectations. 2) Pain and suffering is a blessing in disguise. 3) Resilience is, quite possibly, the most important factor in success. https://lnkd.in/gT_FxGXn

The most important thing in life is choosing. 1. Choose amazing and hard things to do. 2. Choose something you are destined to do. 3. You’d better love that thing so much , otherwise the pain is too much. 4. Amazing people will join you along the way. 5. The equation is simple but takes incredible character to do. Success and greatness are all about character. https://lnkd.in/gQR-M-_T

resilience: key to success, wise words

Love these wise words from Jensen Huang. Pain and suffering can be tough, but they can also teach us valuable lessons. They can teach us the value of hard work and perseverance and help us build character. It's important to remember that there is no shame in starting small and taking on small tasks. Even if you are naturally smart, hard work is still essential for success. Additionally, experiencing and overcoming challenges can teach us how to treat people right. Personally, I've worked so many odd jobs in my life while going to college and after, and I can confidently say that nothing would have prepared me better than the experience I gained during those times. Remember, life is tough but so are you. Let's embrace the challenges and use them as opportunities to grow and become better versions of ourselves.

In the venerable style of C.S. Lewis, let us ponder the necessity of pain and suffering on the path to greatness: --- **The Crucible of Greatness: Embracing Pain and Suffering** In the grand tapestry of life, it is often the threads of pain and suffering that weave the most compelling narrative of human resilience and transformation. As C.S. Lewis might have articulated, these trials are not mere obstacles but the very instruments that shape our character and destiny. **The Holy Bible**, that timeless compendium of wisdom, teaches us that to bear one's cross is not a burden but a calling (Romans 8:28-29). It is through our tribulations that we are conformed to the image of greatness, much like ordinary metal is forged into steel. **The Holy Spirit** guides us, a divine compass pointing towards the true north of our potential. It is in the quiet whispers of this celestial advocate that we find the strength to persevere, to rise above mediocrity, and to embrace the change that molds us. **Our Circumstances**, often dismissed as mere happenstance, are the anvil upon which our resolve is tested. Each challenge, each setback, is an opportunity to demonstrate fortitude, to refine our virtues, and to emerge not as obscure silhouettes but as beacons of inspiration. It is a lamentable truth that many leaders in the workplace succumb to the siren call of mediocrity, resisting the transformative power of change. Yet, history is replete with tales of ordinary individuals who, armed with these three tools, ascended to the pinnacles of influence and impact. Let us, therefore, not shrink back from the crucible that is set before us. For it is in the very act of bearing our crosses that we traverse the path of greatness, leaving an indelible mark upon the world and lighting the way for others to follow. May this reflection serve as a clarion call to all who seek to lead, to transform, and to achieve the extraordinary. Embrace the journey, for it is in the crucible of suffering that greatness is born. https://lnkd.in/d8BmJA2f

Are pain & hardship still considered masters of life today? It may seem, rather paradoxically, that the further we go in our "quest" for comfort, wellbeing and the mirage of the "sense of security", the more we strive away from true growth, development, excellence and so many other virtues that our world may be needing today more than ever. One may argue that we could be robbing the present generation of a chance at greatness (and the energy that comes from seeing life as an adventure) instead of a fluffy bubbly path towards pleasure, self-serving meaninglessness and boredom. As HR/People practitioners is it our (sole) role to create more 'comfortable' organizations or (and) is there room for raising the bar, for setting a higher purpose, for more challenge, for some more pain and growth, for a vision of selfless glory, legacy, contribution and service. #setyourcareeronfire #setyourteamonfire

This link is gathering some notice on the Socials. It's worth listening to as well as to the entire talk. What I appreciate about our business is that, while all are smart, there are those that have clearly experienced suffering and are "long resilience," work incredibly hard and can't be kept down, and those who have not, and react to adversity accordingly.

Resilience/grit and high expectations are two worlds that never cross paths. When you have high expectations, you naturally have very low-risk tolerance and afraid of falling short or failing. There's a lot riding on success, so the tendency is to play it safe, to avoid the messiness and uncertainty of the unknown. However, failures, disappointments, and suffering you go through do build your character… I would also add strong faith, that unwavering belief, that inner fire that refuses to be extinguished, no matter what life throws your way. It's the fuel that keeps you moving forward. When you can harness that unique blend of ambition and resilience, fueled by an unshakable faith in yourself and your abilities, there's no limit to what you can achieve.

I hope suffering happens to you. What strong words. Jensen Huang describes greatness as a mandatory prerequisite for success, which requires people with character. And this character comes from people who suffered. And also: People with really high expectations have very low resilience What strong words from Jensen Huang and I can only agree with them. You can't simulate failure and pain. You have to experience it. Theory doesn't exist in this context, only practice counts But after the pain and suffering comes the realization that it is possible to get out of it. And not in a fragile way, but stronger, with more experience and the knowledge of how even seemingly hopeless situations can be turned around for the better. I have experienced this myself several times. As a consultant As an entrepreneur As a person. Even if some moments were indescribably hard, I am happy about each of these experiences and what they have made of me. Always be optimistic, keep moving forward step by step without ever stopping.

‼️I am truly inspired by this short video. Especially the second part of it, which, in my opinion, is a very accurate ilustration of genuine #leadership 🚀 👇👇👇 The Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, according to Forbes, now ranks as the 20th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $72.2 billion. During a recent “View From The Top” interview at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Huang was asked why he created a flat organizational structure for his company. In his response, he reflected on his humble beginnings. “To me, no task is beneath me because remember, I used to be a dishwasher, and I mean that, and I used to clean toilets. I mean, I cleaned a lot of toilets, I've cleaned more toilets than all of you combined, and some of them, you just can't unsee,” he said. He continued, “I don't know what to tell you, that's life, and so you can't show me a task that's beneath me.” Huang emphasizes his willingness to help others by sharing his approach to problem-solving. He states that his assistance is not about whether a task is beneath him but about being of service: by demonstrating his reasoning process on various challenges — whether they're ambiguous, incalculable, or seemingly daunting — he empowers others. #empowerment #resilience #management
