Vinod Khosla, MBA '80: Failure does not matter. Success matters.
“Try and fail, but don’t fail to try,” emphasized Vinod Khosla (MBA '80) during the Roanak Desai Memorial View From The Top talk on May 1, 2015. Khosla, the founder of Sun Microsystems and Khosla Ventures, also discussed the importance of having a belief system and the "indulgence" of brutal honesty.

This is the only 1 hr talk, I watch every time after I fail at something. The wisdom just 2Xs everytime.
Vinod has the accent and the typical bluntness of a smart, successful old Indian Man. Very classy!

failure does not matter, success does + no one remembers your failures + willingness to fail is what gives ability to succeed + most people are so afraid of failing that they don't even try !! wow !!
Not yacht but rather the freedom of brutal honesty, applaud
I took an action and told someone honestly what I was thinking about, after watching this interview. I sent an email explaining my position, which I was a bit reluctant to accept before. OMG, this guys arrogance of clarity is so attractive. I wish to be as bluntly honest as this guy one day. Respect Vinod Khosla. We Indians take lot of pride when we see you as our role model.
i've seen this view over 10 times, it has taught me a lot about a) crisis management and b) ambition
A lot of people consistently say they’ll make millions each new year but don’t plan how they’re gonna make it, which investment they’ll put funds in, which skill to acquire. There’s so much opportunity to earn and multiply funds.

My 3rd time going back to this video in my career. I love Vinod’s mentality. Our internal compass is all that matters.
I am honestly thankful for this hour of yours, sir! I mean it.
Great interviews deserve an exclusive spot next to.... everyone's bed. There is always something new to be learnt from RE-listening to this interview. This is epic. I suspect that 10% of you who will not do what is expected of you and you will likely be one of those watching this from KZread. Cheers.
Love ur thoughts it's crazy how watching all the greats really changes ur thought process thank u for Ur time
I feel very proud that, i invested 54:44 of my time in watching this video, better than any MBA
Imagine being the person who let Vinod Khosla sleep on their couch. Altered the course of all the lives who got utility or will get utility from all of the companies Vinod Khosla had a hand in.
Amazing, best one on stanford regarding personal beliefs
He has a very Socratic approach. To quote Socrates, "the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Very powerful interview.
Thank you Stanford for all these videos.
How amazing is the mindset of this Sir.
This was amazing and inspiring at the same time.
Sooooo inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the best interviews I’ve seen. No messing about here. 🙌
It's true that investing and taking calculated risks is important in achieving financial success, but what's more important is the mindset and philosophy behind it. Khosla's emphasis on speaking the truth, having a strong belief system, and being persistent and bold in pursuing one's goals is truly inspiring. His message is universal and applicable not just in the world of finance and business, but in all aspects of life. Let's all take a page from his book and strive to live with integrity, purpose, and perseverance.
It gets like gold from 25:55 and it's about general risk taking and innovation, not just investing.
Some real wisdom in this talk
Bro, this thing is pure gold. Thanks

"Whats your belief system? 90% of you will do what is expected of you as opposed to what you want to do"
Amazing
Statement at 30:00 appears quite blunt. I am inclined to agree with it
This man is a gem
4:00 - people are so afraid of failing that they do do the things that would be important to do (Important things are hard) 5:27 - with enough persistence - most things are achievable 5:39 - people take no for an answer too easily 7:10 - how few people actually have a belief system. What do you actually believe in?

While I strongly disagree with some of this points, it is refreshing to hear his bluntness and strong opinions.
Lockheed spent a lot because they built the space technology from the ground up. And Tesla picked the best talents from the market to do it creatively.
So refreshing hearing people directly tell what they think. Woke culture inside of big tech and fake politeness are terrible.
