Buffett: The most important thing in a person's life is to focus on

For more than half a century, Warren Buffett has been just right to seize the opportunity. For this legendary investor, his long-term investment has achieved amazing returns, and even some scholars can't believe it. It is just a lucky success.

Buffett himself attributed his success to "concentration." Schroeder wrote: "In addition to his business activities, he has almost turned a deaf ear to everything else like art, literature, science, travel, architecture, etc. - so he can concentrate on pursuing his passion." Schroeder said that when he was a child Warren carries his most precious possession and an automatic coin changer. At the age of 10, his father proposed to take him on a trip and he asked to go to the New York Stock Exchange. Soon after, Buffett read a book called "Make 1000 Dollars", and he told his friends to become a millionaire before the age of 35. "In the Great Depression of 1941, a child dared to say such a thing, it was really daring, it sounded a bit silly," Schroeder wrote. "But... he is sure he can achieve this dream."

On the weekend of the 1991 Independence Day, Buffett and Gates met. The meeting was held at the initiative of Catherine Graham and Meg Greenfield, editor-in-chief of the Washington Post.

For Gates, Buffett still appreciates it. Although Buffett is 25 years older than him, he knows that Gates is a very intelligent person, but more importantly, they have always been competing on the Forbes Fortune list. The object that is compared by people. However, with Buffett's personality that is not a cold for IT people, he certainly will not join Catherine's weekend trip, but Buffett persuaded Greenfield to shake it. Greenfield told him: "You will definitely like Gates' parents, and there are many interesting people who will go." In the end, Buffett agreed.

When I think of seeing Buffett, isn’t Gates’ heart the same? “I talked with my mother, and the conclusion was that my mother asked me why I didn’t come to the dinner at home? I told her I was too busy, I Can't walk, but she moved out of Catherine Graham and Buffett and said they all participated! "But," I told my mother that I would only invest in stocks that would only take money. The people don't know anything at all. I don't have anything to talk to. We are not a world person! But with the mother's insistence, I still promised."

For the first time the two giants met, many people were watching carefully. At least at one point, Buffett and Gates are similar. If they encounter a topic that is not enthusiastic, they will try to end. People have long heard about Gates's lack of patience, and Buffett, although he will not look forward to the book when he encounters a boring topic, he still has his own method, he will be in the first place. Time frees itself from topics of no interest.

In the exchange with Gates, Buffett is still the same as usual, no transition language goes straight to the topic, he asked Gates about the future trend of IBM, he also asked Gates whether IBM has become Microsoft can not be ignored What are the reasons for competitors and information industry companies to change so fast? Gates answered them one by one. He told Buffett to buy two technology stocks: Intel and Microsoft. It was the turn of Gates to ask questions. He asked the other party about the economics of the newspaper industry. Buffett bluntly stated that the newspaper economy is moving step by step to the abyss of destruction, which has a direct relationship with the vigorous development of other media. In just a few minutes, the two people completely entered the state of in-depth communication.

We have been chatting, endless, and have not noticed anyone else. I asked him a lot about the IT industry, but I never thought about understanding the industry that belongs to him. Gates is a very good teacher, and none of us have the idea to end this conversation.

Buffett and Gates walked and talked, came to the beach from the garden, and people also competed. "We didn't notice the existence of these people here. We didn't realize that there were a lot of important people around. In the end, Gates's father couldn't see it. He said to us very gentleman, he hopes that we can integrate into everyone's. Party, don't always talk to two people."

After Bill began to try to convince me to buy a computer, but I told him I don't know what the computer can do for me, I don't mind the specific curve of my investment project, I don't want to see the results every 5 minutes, I told him I I have a clear grasp of all this. But Bill still didn't give up. He said that he would send Microsoft's most beautiful sales lady to sell Microsoft products to me and let her teach me how to use computers. The way he spoke was very interesting. I told him: "You have a condition that you can't refuse, but I will refuse."

The cocktail party started until the sun set, and the conversation between the two was not over. The plane that Gates had when he came over will leave in the evening, but the plane is gone, Gates is not gone, he is still enjoying the fun of chatting with Buffett.

At dinner, Gates's father asked everyone a question. What is the most important thing in a person's life? My answer is "focus", and Bill's answer is the same as mine!

When Buffett said the word "concentration", I don't know how many people in the audience can understand the meaning of his word, but for a long time, focus is an important guide for Buffett. What is concentration? It is the pursuit of perfection, and this nature is unique. It is not who can say that imitation can be imitated.

Focusing is not only the key to success, but also a trait of a healthy mind. Focus is the concentration of attention on something, blending with the things you care about, not being attracted to other foreign objects, not lingering in anxiety.

People who can't concentrate can't relax. Focus and relaxation are actually two sides of the same coin. Focus is also a key trait of a happy life.

A person who only concentrates on one thing will bring fun. For one thing, no matter how prejudiced you have in the past, how boring it feels, once you focus on it, it immediately becomes alive! And the most beautiful state of a person is to enter the living state.

Concentration is the pursuit of professional excellence. It is because of concentration that Thomas Edison is the greatest inventor in American history. It is because of his concentration that Walt Disney is the father of the world-renowned cartoon. It was because of the concentration that everyone knew the American soul godfather James Brown. In the same way, focus is on the determination to complete a great cause. Otherwise, people will not see the first female congressman, Janet Lankin, arguing against the United States in two world wars, and the two wars brought disasters to the world. It is pain.
