THE COMPANY’S HIRING METHODS are just one component of the Nvidia Way. Its emphasis on retention is another. Jensen rewards performance by using stock grants, which are distributed on the basis of how important an employee is considered to the company. “Jensen looks at stock like his blood,” said former head of human resources John McSorley. “He pores over the stock-allocation reports.”
I recognized him then. It wasn’t a leaf on his chest. It was a tower wrapped in flame. His bloody, outstretched hand wasn’t demonstrating something. It was making a gesture of rebuke toward Haliax and the rest. He was holding up his hand to stop them. This man was one of the Amyr. One of the Ciridae.
The Wise Man's Fear
Patrick Rothfuss
Standing in the checkout line, I might notice the defiant teenager in front of me and make the aspiration, “May he be free of suffering and its causes.” In the elevator with a stranger, I might notice her shoes, her hands, the expression on her face. I contemplate the fact that just like me she doesn’t want stress in her life. Just like me she has worries. Through our hopes and fears, our pleasures and pains, we are deeply interconnected. I do this sort of thing in all kinds of situations—at the breakfast table, in the meditation hall, at the dentist’s office.
