The 2 Most Valuable Lessons in the Life of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

(Dan Tri) - Mr. Jensen Huang is always very modest and rarely shares about himself, but he once shared the two most valuable lessons in his work and life.

Mr. Jensen Huang (61 years old) is the chairman, CEO and co-founder of Nvidia Corporation - the world's largest chip manufacturing corporation with a market value of more than 3,500 billion USD.

The Taiwanese-American businessman is currently the 11th richest billionaire in the world with a fortune of about 124 billion USD.

The billionaire rarely talks about himself, but he once talked about the two life lessons he considered most valuable.

Lessons in time control

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

The secret to using time effectively, Mr. Huang said, is to focus on the most important tasks at work and at home. "Don't try to do everything.

Know how to prioritize the most important things, accept to skip some things or even sacrifice less important things," Mr. Huang shared in an interview.

When we prioritize our most important responsibilities at work and at home, we all become more productive and efficient. As a result, we also feel more satisfied and balanced in our work and personal lives.

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

This email is required to be done every week to help employees identify their own priorities, thereby helping them focus better and be more productive throughout the work week.

Mr. Huang appreciates the importance of time management skills: "As a CEO, time does not always belong to me, so I have to have the discipline to make my time truly mine and be used for truly useful things."

Lessons from a gardener

Mr. Jensen Huang rarely talks about himself, but he once talked about the two life lessons that he considered the most valuable (Photo: CNBC).

In a conversation with students at the California Institute of Technology (USA), billionaire Jensen Huang said he learned an important lesson from observing a gardener he met by chance in Japan.

The incident took place one summer, when he visited a Zen monastery in Kyoto. Here, he saw a gardener working diligently in a large garden, taking care of each bush and flower despite the hot summer weather and the large amount of work to be done.

Mr. Huang approached the gardener and was even more intrigued when he noticed that the worker did not appear tired or discouraged by the heavy workload and hot weather.

When asked, Mr. Huang learned that the worker had been taking care of the monastery's garden for 25 years. The worker knew that even though the garden was very large and there was a lot of work to be done, he would still have enough time to complete what needed to be done.

This short conversation left a deep impression on Mr. Huang. He admired the gardener's dedication and patience in his work. Seeing the way the gardener tended to the garden, he understood the beauty of dedication to work, of a steady and patient working attitude.
