"But Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang wants privileged Gen Z grads to lower their expectations. "People with very high expectations have very low resilience-and unfortunately, resilience matters in success," Huang said during an interview with the Stanford Graduate School of Business. "One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations." Indeed, as the billionaire boss pointed out, those at elite institutions like Stanford probably have higher expectations for their future than your average Joe."
"and the few students who get picked to study there are charged more than $68,000 in tuition fees for the premium, compared to the average $38,270 per annum cost. But, unfortunately for those saddled with student debt, not even the best universities in the world can teach you resilience. "I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you," Huang added."
Jensen Huang advises privileged Gen Z graduates to lower expectations because very high expectations correlate with low resilience and resilience matters for success. Huang credits low expectations as a personal advantage. Elite institutions such as Stanford charge premium tuition and attract students prone to higher career expectations, creating vulnerability to low resilience. Universities and expensive education cannot instill resilience, which Huang suggests often arises through hardship: suffering can build resilience. Huang's life included significant adversity: born in Taiwan in 1963, raised largely in Thailand, moved to the U.S. at nine, with a father in air-conditioning manufacturing and parents who provided conditions for success. Huang now ranks among the world's wealthiest individuals.
