Work hard. There's no substitute. Hard work. It feels like boring advice, but it's really like the one thing that keeps coming back to me. And the other thing I would say is when you do something you really like, enjoy work doesn't feel like work. So you can actually put in more hours. So that's actually the real secret. How to work hard is to pick something you really enjoy doing. And I think you're automatically driven to put in more hours on it because you feel it's your life's work. And don't give up until you're forced to. Don't. There's going to be plenty of moments where when you're doing something pretty hard, people feel like this is not worth doing. They'll come and tell you on your face. But anything worth doing has always been difficult. I remember this because Jensen Huang told me this directly. It's like anything that was worth doing should have been difficult by design. If it was not difficult to do, it probably was not worth doing. If you're trying to get something new into the world or like something different that goes against so many existing structures, I think usually if you come through at the other end, it probably was worth doing. It probably changed the world in a meaningful way.
