OpenAI CEO Reveals to Students the Secret to Living Without Regrets

(Dan Tri) - Mr. Sam Altman - CEO of OpenAI, a famous artificial intelligence research unit in the US, shared a belief so that everyone can live without regrets.

Mr. Altman dropped out of the prestigious Stanford University in the US to start his own business early. He later co-founded OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research unit behind the ChatGPT application.

For Mr. Altman, dropping out of Stanford to start his own business was an interesting experiment. He knew that if the business didn't work out, he could always go back to school to continue his studies.

"That's the key mindset in almost every risky decision. Most risks in life don't involve huge risks. So we can experiment, and if things don't work out, we can stop and try something else," Mr. Altman said.

Mr. Altman and many other famous entrepreneurs have a similar view of risk. For example, the world's richest billionaire - Elon Musk - also dropped out of a master's program at Stanford University, to immediately start a business.

"I think if the business doesn't work out, I can always go back to school to continue my education," billionaire Elon Musk once shared.

In general, many successful businessmen in the world advise people to take bold risks, if the risk is not too great.

“The biggest fear is not taking risks,” Mr. Altman emphasized. “If you do, you will never be able to achieve better results.”

Mr. Altman also advises students not to follow the familiar formula: finish college, get a stable job and stick with it forever. This formula once guaranteed financial security for previous generations, but life is changing very quickly.

Young people in today’s workforce will be the ones to bring new ideas and change the traditional formula of stability. The emergence of artificial intelligence has changed jobs in many fields.

At this time, daring to take risks becomes even more important, so that we do not miss opportunities and avoid living in regret.

However, taking a risk on an experiment does not mean taking blind risks, but rather taking into account at least one exit route or tolerance threshold if the experiment fails.
