You and I share some things in common.

你和我有一些共同點。

First, both chief scientists of NVIDIA were from Caltech.

首先，英偉達公司的兩位首席科學家都來自加州理工學院。

One of the reasons why I'm giving the speech today is because I'm recruiting.

我今天發表演講的原因之一是，我正在招兵買馬。

You and I share a passion for science and engineering, and although we're separated by about 40 years, we are both at the peaks of our career.

你和我都對科學和工程學充滿熱情，雖然我們相差約 40 歲，但都處於事業的巔峰期。

For all of you who've been paying attention to NVIDIA and myself, you know what I mean. It's just that in your case, you'll have many, many more peaks to go.

所有關注英偉達™（NVIDIA®）和我自己的人都知道我的意思。只是，就你們而言，你們還需要攀登更多的高峰。

Last year, I was honored to give the commencement address at Taiwan University.

去年，我有幸在臺灣大學畢業典禮上致辭。

I shared several stories about NVIDIA's journey, and the lessons that we learned that might be valuable for graduates.

我分享了幾個關於英偉達發展歷程的故事，以及我們學到的對畢業生來說可能很有價值的經驗。

I have to admit that I don't love giving advice, especially to other people's children.

我必須承認，我不喜歡給別人提建議，尤其是給別人的孩子。

My advice today will largely be disguised in some stories that I've enjoyed, and some life experiences that I've enjoyed.

我今天的建議主要是通過我喜歡的一些故事和我喜歡的一些生活經歷來表達的。

I'm the longest running tech CEO in the world today.

我是當今世界上經營時間最長的科技公司首席執行官。

Over the course of 31 years,

歷時 31 年、

I managed not to go out of business, not get bored, and not get fired.

我沒有倒閉，沒有感到厭倦，也沒有被解僱。

I have the great privilege of enjoying a lot of life's experiences, starting from creating NVIDIA from nothing to what it is today.

從創建 NVIDIA 開始，從一無所有到今天的成就，我有幸享受了人生的許多經歷。

I spoke about the long road of creating CUDA, a programming model.

我談到了創建 CUDA（一種編程模型）的漫長道路。

The programming model that we dedicated over 20 years to invent, and that is revolutionizing computing today.

我們花了 20 多年時間發明的編程模型，正在徹底改變當今的計算方式。

I spoke about a very quite public canceled Sega game console project we worked on, something that I know Richard Feynman cares very deeply about and spoke quite often about, where intellectual honesty and humility saved our company, and how a strategic retreat was one of our best strategies.

我談到了我們參與的一個非常公開的世嘉遊戲機取消項目，我知道理查德-費曼非常關心這個項目，並經常談到這個項目，在這個項目中，知識分子的誠實和謙遜拯救了我們的公司，戰略撤退是我們最好的策略之一。

All of these are counterintuitive lessons that I spoke about at the commencement.

所有這些都是我在開學典禮上談到的反直覺的教訓。

But I encouraged the graduates to engage with AI, the most consequential technology of our time.

但我鼓勵畢業生們接觸人工智能這一當代最具影響力的技術。

Well, with no more markets to turn to, we decided to build something where we are sure there are no customers.

在沒有更多市場的情況下，我們決定在我們確信沒有客戶的地方建造一些東西。

Because one of the things you can definitely guarantee is where there are no customers, there are also no competitors, and nobody cares about you.

因為你可以肯定的是，在沒有客戶的地方，也就沒有競爭對手，也就沒有人關心你。

So, we chose a market with no customers, a $0 billion market, and it was robotics.

是以，我們選擇了一個沒有客戶的市場，一個價值 10 億美元的市場，它就是機器人技術。

We built the world's first robotics computer, processing an algorithm nobody understood at the time called deep learning.

我們製造了世界上第一臺機器人計算機，處理一種當時無人知曉的算法--深度學習。

This is over 10 years ago now.

這已經是 10 多年前的事了。

Ten years later, I can't be happier with what we've built, and the opportunity to create the next wave of AI.

十年後的今天，我對我們所取得的成就以及創造下一波人工智能浪潮的機會感到無比高興。

More importantly, we developed agility and a culture of resilience.

更重要的是，我們培養了靈活性和堅韌不拔的文化。

Let me tell you one more story.

讓我再給你講一個故事。

I used to work from one of our international sites for one month each summer.

每年夏天，我都會在我們的一個國際站點工作一個月。

When our kids were in their teens, we spent a summer in Japan.

孩子十多歲時，我們在日本度過了一個暑假。

Over a weekend, we visited Kyoto and the Silver Temple.

週末，我們遊覽了京都和銀廟。

If you haven't had a chance to go, you must.

如果你還沒有機會去，那就一定要去。

It's renowned for its exquisite moss garden.

它以精緻的苔蘚花園而聞名。

The day we visited was quintessential Kyoto summer day, suffocatingly hot and humid, sticky.

我們去的那天是典型的京都夏日，悶熱潮溼，黏糊糊的。

Heat is radiating from the ground.

熱量從地面散發出來。

The air was thick, still.

空氣很濃，很靜。

Along with the other tourists, we wandered through the meticulously groomed moss garden, and I noticed the lone gardener.

和其他遊客一起，我們漫步在精心修剪的苔蘚花園中，我注意到了那位孤獨的園丁。

Now, remember, the moss garden, this is the Silver Temple, the moss garden is gigantic.

記住，苔蘚花園，這裡是銀廟，苔蘚花園是巨大的。

It's about the size of this courtyard.

它和這個庭院差不多大。

It has the largest collection of just about apparently every species of moss in the world, and just exquisitely maintained.

它是世界上苔蘚收藏最多的地方，幾乎收藏了世界上所有種類的苔蘚，而且保養得非常好。

So, I walked up to him and I said, what are you doing? In his English, he said, I'm picking dead moss.

於是，我走過去問他，你在幹什麼？他用英語說，我在摘死苔蘚。

I'm taking care of my garden.

我在照顧我的花園

I said, but your garden is so big.

我說，可你的花園這麼大。

He responded, I have cared for my garden for 25 years.

他回答說，我已經照顧我的花園 25 年了。

I have plenty of time.

我有的是時間。

Well, that was one of the most profound learnings in my life, and it really taught me something.

這是我一生中最深刻的教訓之一，它讓我真正學到了一些東西。

This gardener has dedicated himself to his craft and doing his life's work.

這位園丁致力於他的手藝，做著他畢生的工作。

When you do that, you have plenty of time.

這樣，你就有足夠的時間。

Of all of the things that I value most about my abilities, intelligence is not top of that list.

在我最看重的能力中，智力並不是最重要的。

My ability to endure pain and suffering, my ability to work on something for a very, very long period of time, my ability to handle setbacks and see the opportunity just around the corner,

我忍受痛苦和磨難的能力，我在很長很長一段時間內努力工作的能力，我應對挫折並看到轉角處機遇的能力、

I consider to be my superpowers, and I hope they're yours.

我認為這是我的超能力，希望你也一樣。

I hope you find a craft that you want to dedicate your lifetime to perfecting, to hone the skills of, and let it be your life's work.

我希望你能找到一門手藝，用一生去完善它，磨練它，讓它成為你一生的事業。

Then lastly, prioritize your life and you will have plenty of time to do the important things.

最後，安排好生活的優先次序，你就會有充足的時間去做重要的事情。

Congratulations, class of 2024. Go get them.

恭喜你們，2024 屆的同學們。加油
