I think there were a lot of people for whom, if you knew how painful it would be along the way you wouldn't get started. But then, you know, I think that that's one of the things that's good about human nature is you can underestimate how painful things are going to be, so that way you can go and do good things.

Yeah, you know, I, um... I started working with people to design some of my own clothes. And so I figured, look, we're going to design eyewear. We're going to design other stuff that people wear. Let's get good at this. And so this one, I actually worked with this great fashion designer, Mike Amiri. And he's got a great story.

Um... Well, I think you learn what matters to you and what's important and kind of your place in the world through repeatedly hitting your head against different challenges.

But this is something that Jensen talks a lot about too, right? It's like, I feel like When you go to start a company, everyone kind of writes down what they would like their values to be.
