Read an interview with Mr Buffett, kept me thinking for awhile, summarized the geez of it..
Never let work keep you up at night, don't agonize over your mistakes it doesn't help, surround yourself with people that you trust and you'll do fine. Don't do just anything for money. Some people marry for money. That really does not make sense when you have more money.
Investing is like playing baseball, never make hasty decisions, You can sit at the plate and wait as long as you like.
To be a leader, focus is very important. The ability to get people to march. It takes the projection of confidence. You are asking people to trust you. Ask yourself who you would trust and make a role model outta him.
Sometimes, life directs you where to go, some things just can't be determined by sheer human willpower, its a combination of many factors, everyone has his or her station. If buffett was born in Bangladesh things would be different, but he was born in the U.S. where allocating capital is extremely important. so basically he was just picking off crumbs off the table as he puts it. Just do you best in what you do, craving for the unattainable will get you nowhere.
If i could do one thing over again, i wouldn't have choosen any one thing, but rather, i would have chosen to think more before i did anything.
If there's any one thing that intrigues you and you feel a strongly compelled to do it, don't wait, never wait for a chance to embark on your passion, pursue it fervently. If not, it'd be like saving up sex for old age, which would be a pretty stupid thing to do.
I would determine people who would run my business by their passion for it. I look for people who would rather run the business than do anything else in life. That is what is going through my mind. They have to prefer going to work over everything else. They have to love the business more than they love money.
Well, just some food for thought, i think his wisdom doesn't really lie in his investment advice or business sense, but rather his way of life.I believe that the richest people on earth are the ones actually the only few who aren't blinded by wealth, rather, they pursue passion and life itself. Maybe having all the riches in the world gives them the privilege to see things in a different light.
I once read this somewhere and it made hell alot of sense to me
It isn't the burdens of Today that drive men mad.
It is the Regrets over Yesterday and the Fear of Tommorow.
Regrets and Fear are twin thieves who rob us of Today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.
Instead climb more mountains, eat more ice cream,
go barefoot more often
swim more rivers, watch more sunsets
Laugh more, Cry less
Learn to treasure today as if there's no tomorrow
And learn to cherish the thought of tomorrow as if today didn't happen.
Newton predicted the end of the world to come in 2060, no one knows actually when this life will come to an end, But just know that we only live once, so live it well.
