Because I have recently become fascinated by funds, investments, and everything related to money, I naturally began to read a lot about Buffett.
To be honest, I think this documentary is really mediocre, with a bunch of problems like chaotic chronological order, chaotic logic, and so on.
But after watching it, I can't help but feel a shock and tears in my eyes. Such as, many people's questions, how should we evaluate such a person? A famous investor or a generous philanthropist?
1. First of all, as a famous investor, he is truly self-made.
(1) Interests: He is interested in everything related to numbers since he was a child.
Because he was not satisfied with the pocket money of 5 cents per week, he started a business from a young age, selling Coke, delivering newspapers and so on.
Since his father was a stock trader, he started trading stocks in high school and read a lot, which also laid the foundation for his later encounter with his mentor Graham.
After graduation, he started working in investment. Mentor Graham as an enlightener, Charlie Munger as a business partner, and Bill Gates as a partner, make you have to believe that good people are often surrounded by good people.
(2) Focus: When he is interested in things, he will spend a lot of energy on research. He even knows the company's financial report data better than the company's management.
Both he and Bill Gates believe that "focusing" is the most beneficial thing to himself, so he spends at least 5 hours reading every day. What struck me most was Suzy's comments about him that geniuses tend to be lonely and independent.
(3) Reputation: This is what Buffett has always admired, and he has spent his life building his reputation.
(4) Compound interest: He told people about the power of compound interest, and, told us, to make money slowly.
2. Second, as a philanthropist, he is really generous.
(1) Concept: He believes that those who have a lot should help those who have nothing.
(2) The idea of spending money: In his life, his total spending is less than 1% of what he earns, and the remaining 99% will be given to others. Because it is useless to him, and it is a stupid thing not to spend useless things on useful things.
3. Finally, the part that touched me
I was in tears watching this episode. We all fantasize about what kind of person we will marry in the future. Susie hopes that she will marry a person who contributes to society. After she left, he began to think about how to help others to the greatest extent possible. So, he became what he liked.
In the film, there are many descriptions of their love. Susie said that she should be the person who understands him best in the world. When he is open, they are connected. I have no doubts about this sentence. Later, when Susie left him and did what she wanted to do, I could also understand that as an independent person, she wanted to have her own things and do what she wanted to do. , to contribute to society.
They love each other and so respect each other's decisions. Do what you want to do.
I believe that after a hundred years, Buffett will still be remembered by history,
But we don't know in what role he will be recorded.
Are you a famous investor?
Or a philanthropist?
But Buffett said:
"My goal in life is to be a teacher.
in my opinion,
The world is a beautiful movie,
But you don't want to sleepwalk your whole life.
It's important that you find a career,
Even if you don't need money,
Also willing to do work.
Life is colorful,
Every morning you jump out of bed,
It is because you are looking forward to this day.
For more than 60 years, I've been tap-dancing to work.
Because I love what I'm doing,
I feel so lucky. "
