In what is called the ‘Oracle of Omaha’, it involves ingredients such as continuous learning, attention and firmness, against fears, avoiding certain risks, working on what is passionate about the habit of saving and creating, among others. .
But Warren Buffett also preached other, more personal values, such as building a good reputation and goodness and kindness, which ultimately influences other people to want to do business with him. President Berk Hathaway places great importance on relationship and friendship.
It is worth remembering the speech that Warren Buffett gave in 2001 at the University of Georgia. There he shared what he considers “the ultimate test” to find out if someone has been successful in their life.
“When you get to my age, you want to measure your success in life by how many people you really want to love,” Buffett said, speaking in a hushed tone and taking a few moments with his students.
And he concluded: “I know people who have a lot of money and who have testimonial dinners and hospital wings to their name. But the truth is that no one in the world loves them. If you reach my age and no one thinks well of you; I don’t care. It doesn’t matter how big let it be your bank account: your life is a mess. This is the ultimate test of how you lived your life,” he said.
