I was worried about seeing a flat personality who was motivated, studious, smart and motivated since childhood. Fortunately, this film made me see a three-dimensional and interesting Warren Buffett.
Warren Buffet is already gray-haired, but he doesn't speak like an old man. He is very responsive, and especially likes a little humor in his rigor. For example, in order to hate the teacher, short the stock held by the teacher. In his ceramic letter to Benjamin Graham, he said, "I have read your writings, but I thought you were dead, but Graham was admitted to Columbia University as a doctoral student.
Focus is a point that is repeatedly emphasized in the film, which I deeply agree with. I work in my favorite field, and I want to go to the office when I don’t need to work. I tap dance to the office every day, and go to work every morning with a radiant face. What a blessing this is!
A lot of reading has created Buffet. I read five or six hours a day with relish. Even if there is a family gathering at home, I will read with a newspaper in hand. While admiring it, I also feel a little inhumane.
Buffet loves his wife, Susie, and three children. In the interview with the family, I saw their understanding and love for Buffet, and also saw a little helplessness. After all, everyone's time is limited. Buffet himself said that he thinks he is proficient and ambitious in the field of investment, but he does not understand a lot in interpersonal relationships.
Buffet said that his children have a normal heart, which is very good. It can be seen that he and the child have a different but similar outlook on life. Buffet has ambitions to make money, but he doesn't have much fun. He is just obsessed with numbers games and likes to focus in the financial field. And Susie and the kids have joined charitable foundations and love the bright colors of Los Angeles. The same is that they all have a heart of gold, do not use fraudulent means to make money, and fancy reputation.
Genius is destined to be different, jumps in thinking, likes to think deeply, but also lonely, can show talent in one field, but do many things alone. But I have rich hobbies, good at empathy, considerate work, and kindness to others. I think it is an equally important thing in addition to professional talents. That's always a pity for Buffet, especially seeing Susie's death before he actually committed to donating.
