Warren Buffet’s discussion with Bill Gates
During his discussion on several subjects with Bill Gates, he talked about habits, character and temperament; about the importance of behaving in a rational way and not getting in your own way. The one piece of advice he gave to the students of business school was this:
Pick out the person in the class that you admire the most and then write down why you admire them. Put down a list of qualities and then put down the one that frankly you can stand the least in the whole group and put down the qualities that turn you off in that person. The qualities of the first one that you admire are the qualities that you, with a little practice, can make your own and which if practiced will become habit forming. The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they’re too heavy to be broken ….. You will have the habits twenty years from now that you decide to put into practice today. I suggest you look at the habits you admire in others or the behaviour you admire in others and make those your habits, and that you look at what you really find somewhat reprehensible in others and just decide those are things you’re not going to do. Ben Franklin did that a few years ago and it still works today.
