Join 📚 Armand's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
In 2006, he became the first hire at a new division called Nvidia Research. In his first weeks on the job, Luebke had lunch with Steve Molnar, a system architect at Nvidia and a long-time friend, and asked him what he thought a research group at Nvidia should do. For instance, should it be organized around pursuing patents? Molnar thought about it for a while and said, “I don’t see Nvidia as some kind of IP fortress. Our strength is just outrunning the other guy.”
When we give from the heart, we do so out of the joy that springs forth whenever we willingly enrich another person’s life. This kind of giving benefits both the giver and the receiver. The receiver enjoys the gift without worrying about the consequences that accompany gifts given out of fear, guilt, shame, or desire for gain. The giver benefits from the enhanced self-esteem that results when we see our efforts contributing to someone’s well-being.
Nonviolent Communication
Marshall B. Rosenberg
The heart in love remains soft and sensitive. But when you’re hell-bent on getting this or the other thing, you become ruthless, hard, and insensitive. How can you love people when you need people? You can only use them. If I need you to make me happy, I’ve got to use you, I’ve got to manipulate you, I’ve got to find ways and means of winning you. I cannot let you be free. I can only love people when I have emptied my life of people. When I die to the need for people, then I’m right in the desert.
