The two most valuable life lessons for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Jensen Huang has always been very humble and reserved about sharing personal information, but he once shared two of the most valuable lessons he learned in his work and life.

Jensen Huang (61 years old) is the chairman, CEO, and co-founder of Nvidia, the world's largest chip manufacturer with a market value of over $3.5 trillion.

The Taiwanese-American businessman is currently the 11th richest billionaire in the world with an estimated net worth of $124 billion.

The billionaire rarely talks about himself, but he once spoke about two life lessons that he considers most valuable.

Lessons on time management

Billionaire Jensen Huang used to worry about not having enough time to do everything he wanted to. Later, he realized that we all have enough time if we know how to prioritize work and family appropriately.

Mr. Huang said the key to effective time management is focusing on the most important tasks at work and at home. "Don't try to do everything."

"Learn to prioritize the most important things, accept that you may have to overlook some things or even sacrifice those that are less important," Huang shared in an interview.

By prioritizing the most important responsibilities at work and at home, each of us will live and work more effectively. As a result, we will also feel more satisfied and balanced in our work and personal lives.

Mr. Huang shared this with his staff and asked them to regularly write down their work and personal priorities weekly. These priorities would be emailed to him and the employee's direct manager, so that all parties could understand and cooperate with each other.

This email is required weekly to help employees identify their priorities, thereby enabling them to focus better and achieve higher work performance throughout the week.

Mr. Huang emphasized the importance of time management skills: "As a CEO, time isn't always at my disposal, so I have to be disciplined to ensure my time is truly mine and used for truly productive tasks."

Lessons from the gardener

In a conversation with students at the California Institute of Technology, billionaire Jensen Huang said he once learned an important lesson from observing a gardener he happened to meet in Japan.

The event took place one summer, when he visited a Zen monastery in Kyoto. There, he saw a gardener diligently working in the large garden, tending to each plant and flower despite the sweltering summer heat and the considerable amount of work to be done.

Mr. Huang approached the gardener and was further impressed to see that the worker showed no signs of fatigue or discouragement despite the large amount of work and the hot weather.

Upon inquiring, Mr. Huang learned that the gardener had been tending the monastery's garden for 25 years. The gardener knew that even though the garden was vast and there was much work to be done, he would always have enough time to complete everything that needed to be done.

This brief conversation left a strong impression on Mr. Huang. He admired the gardener's dedication and patience. Watching how the gardener tended the garden, he understood the beauty of conscientious work, of a steady and patient attitude.
