Buffett wisdom


“There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?”

“Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”

“No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”

“Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill. ”
 “I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection."

“It's nice to have a lot of money, but you know, you don't want to keep it around forever. I prefer buying things. Otherwise, it's a little like saving sex for your old age.”

“You know ... you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.”

"You never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out." 

“Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.”

Warren Buffett's 'Secret Millionaires Club"

O "Secret Millionaires Club" é um programa de televisão que tem como objectivo ensinar às crianças algumas lições básicas sobre dinheiro.
Paralelamente, é lançado um concurso em que miúdos americanos fazem um "pitch" de ideias de negócio, sendo que os finalistas terão o privilégio de apresentar essas ideias ao próprio Warren Buffett.

Às vezes gostava de ser criança outra vez - a minha vida teria sido muito diferente se tivesse conhecido o Warren Buffett aos 8 anos.
