What events or choices have had a major impact on Buffett's life?
1. A lot of reading.
Started studying stocks as a teenager, from technical analysis to fundamental analysis, he has benefited greatly from extensive, constant reading.
Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" and Fisher's "How to Pick Growth Stocks" led him to form his own investing system.
As long as you read, good things will happen in the end.
Second, the choice of friends.
Integrity and kindness are qualities that he admires very much, and he has made many like-minded friends because of this. Among them, Charlie Munger became his lifelong friend and business partner.
Friends make you a better version of yourself.
3. Family and marriage.
His father's influence on him, Suzy's influence on him. Inherit your father's good character, and surpass him, and avoid becoming a utopian.
4. Sign up for the Carnegie Eloquence Class.
Buffett said in particular the special significance of enrolling in Carnegie's eloquence class. If I hadn't signed up for the eloquence class, I wouldn't have achieved so much now. The diploma from the eloquence class is even more useful than the college certificate he got.
"If I don't change, I'll never change"
