I am reading about Warren Buffett, I like his seemingly simplicity,and one writer made a comment, that his genius also lies in his character. That kinda gives me hope, cause it means that there are behaviors that can be emulated by people who are not crazy smart.
He has a long attention span, he does not drown in wall street noise but does decisions based on reasoning. The smartphone generation googles everything, yet
not long enough to go deep in a subject, they are influenced by headlines not by intense research on subjects. Warren and Charlie seem to be much more simpler and clearheaded but I guess that`s because they understand the themes and structures behind complex subjects.
I don`t know I get the feeling they use common sense more, but that`s probably deceiving. That all sounds good, but as I wrote this out, I get the feeling that sounds like fortune
cookies advice. What do you think? I also read that Charles Darwin had also a long attention span, he ignored his career and the competition for 20 years he obsessively
watched smallest occurencen in nature and pondered the underlying principles behind the phenomenon which led to the Origin of Species. Charlie Munger descriped
him as a turtle who outran the hare, which reasonates with me, cause I consider myself a laidback type B personality. Am I not yet informed enough about Warren Buffett
or what? What do you think? Has anybody got successful by copying Buffett?
