Agree a thousand times over.
While Jensen is focused on Resilience, pain and suffering also teach Humility and Introspection, which he quietly appears to do very naturally. Pain and suffering implicitly mean that things haven't gone exactly according to plan, which necessitates Humility and Introspection to avoid repeating.
Without Humility and Introspection, you move on (not forward) and engage in an endless doom loop of pain and suffering. Without Resilience, you stop moving altogether.
While raising our pre-seed, @kinglevi at @Infinity_VC asked me a question getting at this point exactly and it struck me as a pretty good measure of alignment.
The benefits of pain and suffering take a long time to learn and incorporate into who you are (and the learning is very hard!), but when applied correctly can be leveraged to increase velocity and trajectory.
JENSEN HUANG: “Resilience matters in success. I don’t know how to teach it to you, except for: I hope suffering happens to you .. because .. greatness comes from character. And character isn’t formed out of smart people. It’s formed out of people who suffered.” $NVDA

when congress extended r&d credits to startups,
a deal – nay, a bargain – had to be struck.
a bargain that had to counterbalance
the giving of money to startups,
with some way of recouping
said money via taxes.
