"In retrospect, I could have been smarter myself, and to be CEO is a lifetime of sacrifice,"
"Most people think that it's about leading and being in command and being on top. None of that is true. You're in service of the company. You're creating conditions for other people to do their life's work, you're inspiring through example. Most of the examples are making difficult decisions during very difficult times, it's mostly about sacrifiice."

Jensen Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 with two friends and grew the company from a Denny's dining booth without a business plan to a market capitalization exceeding $4.6 trillion. His parents' pursuit of success in the U.S. shaped his work ethic. Huang learned leadership and management on the job, having led only this business.
