The Best Thing I Learned From Warren Buffett

It has nothing to do with money.

“We feel noble intentions should be checked periodically against results.”

— Warren Buffett

Have you ever had someone pick you up after you go through a painful experience?

So many of the best life lessons occur after we go through pain.

My girlfriend had just dumped me.

I was crushed.

My dad saw that, and invited me to go to Omaha with him.

Omaha: home of Warren Buffett and his company, Berkshire Hathaway.

And the location of the annual pilgrimage — the shareholder meeting for Berkshire.

During those few days, I heard Warren Buffett say one thing that changed my life.

The Shareholder Meeting

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

— Benjamin Franklin

I was in my early 20s and my dad thought I needed some direction.

So we went to Omaha to see Warren Buffett.

The entire experience was amazing. I had attended huge sporting events in the past. People at those sporting events scream, cry, and cheer.
