成功人士和真正成功人士的区别在于,真正成功的人几乎对所有事情都说不。
我只想知道我将在哪里死去,这样我就永远不会去那里。
我们的经验往往证实了一个长期持有的观点:在一生中的几个关键时刻,准备好迅速且大规模地采取行动,去做一些简单且符合逻辑的事情,常常会显著提升一生的财务成果。
告诉我动机,我会告诉你结果。
我一直知道我会变得富有。我想我从来没有怀疑过这一点。
我认为成绩记录非常重要。如果你开始尝试在像诚实这样的简单事情上保持完美,你就在通往这个世界的成功之路上迈出了重要一步。
你不必亲自去尿电网,才能学会不这么做。
反过来,始终反过来:把情况或问题颠倒过来,从反面看。
这本来就不应该容易。认为它容易的人是愚蠢的。
记住,声誉和正直是你最宝贵的资产——而且可能一瞬间就丧失。
我相信掌握他人已经发现的最佳知识的纪律。
对于只有一把锤子的人来说,每个问题看起来都像是钉子。
如果你想变得聪明,你需要不断问的问题是‘为什么,为什么,为什么?’
The idea of a margin of safety, a Graham precept, will never be obsolete. The idea of making the market your servant will never be obsolete. The idea of being objective and dispassionate will never be obsolete.
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.
I think track records are very important. If you start early trying to have a perfect one in some simple thing like honesty, you’re well on your way to success in this world.
I’m a great believer in solving hard problems by using a checklist. You need to get all the likely and unlikely answers before you; otherwise it’s easy to miss something important.
No wise pilot, no matter how great his talent and experience, fails to use his checklist..
It’s not given to human beings to have such talent that they can just know everything about everything all the time. But it is given to human beings who work hard at it — who look and sift the world for a mispriced bet — that they can occasionally find one.
