Jensen Huang explains his decision to start NVIDIA as a parent with young children

I believed in them and I believed in myself. I also believe that even though we had a family and our kids were young, they were just one and two, that could cause us to be quite risk averse. But I was never concerned about being able to do something else if it didn't work out. And so I felt like I wasn't risking anything. And maybe that's too careless by some other standards, but I really believed in it. I believed that we weren't putting our family in harm's way and if things don't work out, there'll be an even better job for me somewhere someday. And so on the one hand, the opportunity to do something great with people that I really respected and love to this day, and confidence that we'd be able to do something great and not really feeling that we're losing anything. And we were young, Laurie and I were young. And it wasn't a decision that was so, so difficult per se, was probably even less than a dinner conversation and maybe even less than that. And so all of you are young and bright and there's so much opportunity out there. I genuinely don't believe that when you make a decision to start a company or join a startup, frankly, I don't think it's a horribly difficult life decision. The only thing that really matters in my estimation is are you going to love the people that you work with? Are you going to love the work that you're going to do? Are you going to love it so much that all the pain and suffering that's going to come your way, which I promise you will be lots, the pain and suffering and the setbacks and the disappointments, the list of bad days, so long as you love the work that you do, you'll be able to keep on carrying on. And that's really it, that's 100% of the wisdom.
