During a recent tech event, Jensen Huang, CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, explained his decision not to wear a watch by emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present moment.

Huang, whose company has experienced significant valuation growth, stated, 'Now is the most important time.

I strive not for more but to excel in what I'm currently doing.' He highlighted that Nvidia operates without a long-term strategy, focusing instead on daily goals.

His mindset aligns with a story he shared about a Japanese gardener in Kyoto.

When asked how he maintained a temple's garden so perfectly, the gardener answered, 'I have plenty of time.' Huang regards this as vital career advice, reinforcing his philosophy of valuing the present over constant ambition.

His perspective was also shared on Instagram by @entrepreneursonig, emphasizing the difficulty of doing less in pursuit of quality.
