Warren’s Wisdom
After I left the finance industry, I quickly realized I made the right decision when I never turned on CNBC again.
Although I do still have a passion for investing, businesses, making money etc.
When I found out I was going to be in Omaha during the Berkshire Hathaway annual investor conference, I decided I had to go.
Especially since the firm I was at for ten years, First Eagle, followed Warren Buffett’s investing style and I spoke about him all the time.
Getting to hear from the famed investor exceeded my expectations. Of course it was interesting hearing from him about the companies they’re invested in but what was even more interesting was some of the life advice he gave.
Here were some of my favorite nuggets:
💡There’s a great advantage in not knowing when you’re going to die. Live everyday as if it were your last.
💡Spend your days doing things you enjoy. If you’re lucky, you find your interests when you’re young. But if you don’t, you keep looking until you do. It’s never too late.
💡Think about how you want your obituary to read and start living life that way now.
💡Surround yourself with people you trust. When you find those people, cherish them and forget about the rest.
💡Find the person you want to share your life with and marry someone that will help you reach your vision. Sometimes you find them early and sometimes you make mistakes along the way.
💡The opportunities today, especially in the US, are endless. Go after what you want.
What a cool experience this was for me and even cooler to hear him preaching about life advice (especially being similar to what I share!) This was an unforgettable experience and I’m so grateful for the opportunity.
If you find yourself in Omaha for this annual event, I’d highly recommend buying some BH shares and checking it out.
