#2 Excellence Is The Capacity To Take Pain (Isadore Sharp)
Excellence is the capacity to take pain. This line has been called the best maxim in the history of entrepreneurship.
Only two weeks ago, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia shared with Stanford grads - “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations. Most of the Stanford graduates have very high expectations. And you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school. People with high expectations have very low resilience”. And unfortunately, Jensen says, resilience matters in success. I don’t know how to teach it to you, except that I hope suffering happens to you”.
What does he wish us to experience? Suffering. Why? Because if we can withstand suffering, it means we are resilient, and resilient matters a lot, in business and in finding success!
If we learn to deal with pain, and suffering, we will find success. Because, Excellence is the capacity to take pain.
