"Work is life for me": That's what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said when asked about his work-life balance in a recent interaction with Stripe CEO Patrick Collison.
"I work from the moment I wake up to the moment when I go to bed, and I work seven days a week. When I'm not working, I'm thinking about working. And when I'm working, I'm working," Huang said.
"I used to wake up at 5 (am), but these days, I wake up at 6 (am) because of my dogs... I don't mind waking anybody up, but I feel guilty when I wake the puppies up," he told Collison.
He also said that some people think the "best jobs are the ones that bring you happiness all the time," but he doesn't agree with it. He believes it takes suffering and struggle to "really appreciate what you've done."
"When you want to build something great, it's not easy to do and when you are doing something that's not easy to do, you're not always enjoying it," he said.
"I don't love everyday of my job, not everyday brings me joy; nor does joy have to be the definition of a good day... but I love the company every single second," Huang added.
