Jensen Huang Says Building Nvidia Was A 'Million Times Harder' Than He Expected
"And when I see these amazing companies getting built, I have nothing but admiration and respect because I just know it's insanely hard," he added. "You could do all of the right things and still fail."Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA) became the world's most valuable company earlier this year on the back of surging demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips.
英偉達公司（納斯達克：NVDA）在今年早些時候憑藉對其人工智能（AI）芯片需求激增成爲全球市值最高的公司。
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang founded the multi-billion dollar chip company more than 30 years ago and recently talked about what it would take to pit expectations against reality and do it all over again.
英偉達CEO黃仁勳創立了這家價值數十億美元的芯片公司超過30年，並最近談到如何將期望與現實相對比，並再次全力以赴。
Starting a successful company is "insanely hard," Huang said last year on an episode of the tech podcast, "Acquired."
創辦一家成功的公司「極度艱難」，黃仁勳去年在一期名爲《Acquired》的科技播客中如是說。
"And when I see these amazing companies getting built, I have nothing but admiration and respect because I just know it's insanely hard," he added. "You could do all of the right things and still fail."
他補充道：「當我看到這些了不起的公司崛起，我只能懷着敬佩和尊重之情，因爲我知道這極度艱難。」「你可以盡力做到一切，但仍會失敗。」
Building Nvidia was "a million times harder" than Huang expected it to be. Knowing what he knows now about launching a business, he's not so sure if he would do it all again. For those who want to try, he offered an interesting piece of advice: Underestimate the challenge.
創立英偉達比黃仁勳預期的「困難上千倍」。如今了解了創業的方方面面，他不太確定是否會再次全力以赴。對於那些想嘗試的人，他提供了一條有趣的建議：低估挑戰。
In order to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to "trick your brain" into thinking a particular challenge is not as difficult as it really is.
要成爲成功的企業家，你必須「欺騙自己的大腦」，讓它認爲某個挑戰並不像真實情況那麼困難。
"You have to get yourself to believe that it's not that hard because it's way harder than you think," Huang said.
黃仁勳說：「你必須使自己相信，這並不那麼困難，因爲比你想象的要難得多。」
If you can maintain a "How hard can it be?" mindset, he suggested that you will wield an entrepreneurial superpower that can get you through tough times.
如果你能保持「這有多難？」的心態，他建議你會擁有一種可以幫助你度過困境的企業家超能力。
"If I go taking all of my knowledge now, and I go back, and I said I'm going to endure that whole journey again, I think it's too much," he said.
「如果我現在帶着所有的知識回去，然後說我要再一次忍受整個旅程，我覺得這太艱苦了，」他說。
Huang attributed much of Nvidia's success to the people around him, who never gave up. He named several team members who have been at the company since the very beginning.
黃將Nvidia的成功歸功於他周圍的人，他們從未放棄。他提到了幾位自公司創立以來一直在公司的團隊成員。
He said that if you surround yourself with people who share the same mindset, you can get through the tough times. However, you still have to trick yourself every day into thinking it's not as hard as it really is.
他說，如果讓自己周圍都是有着相同心態的人，你就能度過艱難時刻。然而，你仍然必須每天騙自己，讓自己覺得事情沒有真實情況那麼困難。
"I'm surrounded by these people that never one time gave up and they never one time gave up on me. That's the entire ball of wax," the Nvidia founder and CEO said.
「我身邊都是這些從未放棄過的人，他們從未對我放棄過一次。這就是整個秘訣，」 Nvidia創始人兼CEO說道。
