A long post highlights Jensen Huang’s childhood and the role his mother played in shaping him:
- She taught him English every day even though she didn’t speak it herself.
- Huang says that experience taught him to act despite not knowing how to do something.
- He was also sent to a boarding school in rural Kentucky, where he endured a rough routine: crossing a partially broken bridge each morning and cleaning bathrooms each afternoon.
- The post frames those experiences as part of the origin story behind NVIDIA and the AI boom.
