meaning of money

I don't understand stocks. Before watching this documentary, my knowledge of Buffett was limited to that he is the god of stocks, the richest man in the United States (and of course the world). After reading it, my understanding of stocks has not improved at all. Buffett speaks fast, and it takes a lot of effort to keep up with the rhythm. If you want to pass this documentary, you should forget it.

I don't understand finance, I can only look at his life, his family. The richest man in the world eats McDonald's pork and wheat for breakfast and drinks Coca-Cola, but he is obsessed with making money. So in many cases, the ability to make money is one thing, and the idea of ​​spending money is another. In 2006, he started donating his money to the Gates Charitable Foundation. I don't know if Susan's death made him change his attitude towards money or rethink the meaning of money. At the end of the film, when asked if he is afraid of death, Buffett happily answers that he is not. Yes, after such a wonderful life, there are no regrets. When "over the rainbow" sounded at the end of the film, I was suddenly moved. This is the song Buffett sang when he put his daughter to bed when she was a child, so have Buffett's dreams come true?

The title of the documentary is very interesting: "Becoming Buffett", this is the dream of many people in the world who are hungry for success and who are hungry for wealth. Imagine you are Buffett, standing at the intersection of 91 years old, looking back on the gains and losses along the way, how many losses do you want to make up for? How much can be given up? Now, back to your own age, will the next road, how to walk, become more clear?

Becoming Warren Buffett quotes

  • Howard Buffett: When he wrote the letter to us, he put something in that letter that was incredibly important to me, which was exactly how our foundation behaves, which is, if you're gonna try to bat a thousand, you won't do very many things that are important. But if you're willing to basically strike out a few times, you can really change something big.

  • Warren Buffett: In my entire lifetime, everything that I've spent will be quite a bit less than one percent of everything I've made. The other 99% plus will go to others, because it has no utility to me.
