1/ Life Lessons from the Sage of Omaha
2/ At the ripe young age of 95, Warren Buffett is handing over the leadership of his legendary investment company to his chosen successor, though he will remain Chairman of the Board.
3/ In what he hints may be his final letter to shareholders (though many of us are hoping that it is only his final letter as CEO and not Chairman) he offers many pearls of wisdom. berkshirehathaway.com/news/nov1025.p…
4/ Having had the good fortune to become friends with Warren almost two decades ago when he selected my book Nuclear Terrorism for a prize at the annual Berkshire Hathaway jamboree, I’ve been fortunate to meet with him regularly since. His own characteristic confidence in the future, and specifically the future of Team USA is inspiring.
5/ And his clues about kindness are worth reading—and re-reading: “Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.”
6/ P.S. To repeat a line I posted earlier this year, Buffet is the world’s most successful investor who has made more money for more people than any other individual in history. If one had had the good fortune to be given $100 worth of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965 how much would that be worth today? Answer: $5,500,000.
