"Becoming.Warren.Buffett" after reading summary

Why do you read: Let me read biographies and history books one by one, I will think too much of myself; let me indulge in the "diaosi success log" in online novels for a lifetime, there will always be empty and boring times . Then just watch the biographical video. It is easier than reading words only by sight, and it is more real and useful than lustful life. On the other hand, if I read a lot of what Diaosi wrote, I am still Diaosi after all. The more you read the biographies of famous people, the more or less you can leave some traces of famous people. (funny)

Inspiration: 1. " If you know why you are doing what you are doing, that's good enough ", this is the life thought passed on by Buffett's father. This is a complete mockery of my life: what's the point of constantly worrying about right and wrong, constantly worrying about the future, constantly afraid of failure? Trying to use your mediocre ability and limited experience to control the direction of life and decide what is right or wrong is inherently stupid and arrogant. I just need to know why I'm doing it and it's "good enough". This sentence alone can be used as the advice of one's life and a treasure passed down from generation to generation. 2. Focus! Focus! Focus! This is " one word that would best describe what had helped us the most" by Buffett and Bill Gates . Buffett's "5/25 Rule", Einstein's "Eighth Wonder", Munger's "Universal Wisdom", without the backing of "focus" is nothing.

Feelings: 1. After watching the whole documentary, I also fell into admiration and envy of Buffett, always thinking about what I have learned from it and what I can imitate. Until I saw a reminder in the comment area: "There is a Range for people's evaluation, the upper limit is praise, and the lower limit is black; obviously, the form of documentary is to praise people, and it should fall on the upper limit of Range, and praise is the main; Therefore, looking at Buffett rationally is not so brilliant (although good stories are more likely to stimulate perceptual cognition and make people fascinated)” I almost fell into the producer’s trap, full of blind admiration of Buffett, contrary to Marx’s Look at the two sides of things objectively, sin and sin. 2. Buffett's sensitivity and love for numbers, which has arisen since childhood, is lucky and valuable, setting the tone for him to become a stock leader. But I don't envy it for this: Buffett, whose brain is occupied by "numbers", still can't take care of himself in his 40s, let alone take care of his family and be considerate. Instead, he needs his wife Suzy to take care and tolerance. It seems that the "bias" is very serious. I look forward to the life of Charlie Munger, to pursue "universal wisdom", to think about the nature and connection of different affairs, and to experience the joy of all aspects of life (Munger designs houses by himself, designs yachts by himself, and in different affairs Looking for), and his wife have a good time, and he has a good education for his children. It's not that I want to go against the principle of "focus" and devote my limited energy to every aspect of my life, but I want to know exactly what I want to know about every aspect of my life. In this way, while satisfying "focus", "bias" is avoided. (In terms of life, it is still necessary to learn a skill from the "depth", and then read a lot of books from the "breadth" to cultivate oneself).

    The most impressive sentence is - "The world is a good movie, but you don't want to sleepwalk all your life". The title is intriguing, and it doesn't say much about the reasons for its success, but is busy praising him (the long and noble philanthropy at the end says it all). But the stubborn and lovely cares about breakfast, selling teachers' stocks, and reading a lot of small details, all show his enthusiasm and seriousness in life. This is a precious and respectable character.

    Probably because the financiers portrayed in the American TV series are too stereotyped, seeing Buffett go to McDonald's for breakfast every day, it feels very unreal. However, after watching the whole film, I found that only a pure-hearted person can sit on such wealth. For him, the pleasure that wealth can bring is not what he pursues. He is simply obsessed with this game, and has been enjoying it for decades. .
