be a great and pure person

I cried a few times. So I only dare to watch it at home, because it is convenient to digest these emotions called moving.

There are two things that impress me the most. One is his focus, and the other is his affection.

Focus. Having recently flipped through Scarcity, Buffett could be the perfect male protagonist for this book. He seems to have only the business world in his eyes, and is extremely sensitive to prices and numbers. At the same time, he seems to be extremely incapable of living, in other words, unable to take care of himself.

It was his luck to meet Susan.

In the end, Susan left, and he donated nearly all of his family property and cried directly. This was where he and Susan most disagreed. He's going to snowball, she's going to do charity. But when she left, he compromised.

He doesn't love money. He's a McDonald's every morning and eats cheaper burgers when the economy is bad. On his company table, when he opened Berkshire's annual meeting, he had Coca-Cola on hand, mostly cherry-flavored. His obesity in his later years can be counted as a work injury, but he really doesn't love money.

He's just obsessed with the game. He was happy all his life.

He also doesn't like names. He donated the bulk of his money to the Gates Foundation. He's just a great player. This life has been his great and wonderful adventure. I know he is not afraid of death. At this point, there is nothing to be afraid of.

A documentary showed me a near-perfect personality. It's more sincere and moving than any chicken soup preaching. Because the writer has a true childlike heart.

So, live up to this life.

Becoming Warren Buffett quotes

  • Howard Buffett: When he wrote the letter to us, he put something in that letter that was incredibly important to me, which was exactly how our foundation behaves, which is, if you're gonna try to bat a thousand, you won't do very many things that are important. But if you're willing to basically strike out a few times, you can really change something big.

  • Warren Buffett: In my entire lifetime, everything that I've spent will be quite a bit less than one percent of everything I've made. The other 99% plus will go to others, because it has no utility to me.
