巴菲特的智慧語錄

沃倫·巴菲特(Warren Buffett) 是伯克希爾·哈撒韋(Berkshire Hathaway)公司的董事 長兼首席執行官，也是我的上N級老闆，他為世界創造不少財富，為人類帶來很多智慧，玆摘選一些他的智慧語錄。

關於人生：

「我們從歷史中學到的是人類不從歷史中吸取教訓。」

On life:

“What we learn from history is that people don’t learn from history.”

關於他的成功：

「我正好有配置資本的才能。但是，如果我出生在一個獵人的部落，我的天賦將毫無用處。我跑得不很快，也不特別健壯。最終我可能會成為野生動物的晚餐。」

On his success:

“I happen to have a talent for allocating capital. But if I’d been born into a tribe of hunters, this talent of mine would be pretty worthless. I can’t run very fast. I’m not particularly strong. I’d probably end up as some wild animal’s dinner.”

關於生活：

「如果你發現自己在一個時常漏水的船內，換艘船可能比修補漏水更有效率。」

On life:

“Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”

關於投資：

「你付出的是價格，你得到的是價值。」

On investing:

“Price is what you pay.  Value is what you get.”

關於人生：

「人生中只要別將要太多事情做錯，你只需要將少數幾個事情做對。」

On life:

“You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong.”

關於投資：

「華爾街就是坐著勞斯萊斯的人聽從搭地鐵者的建議的唯一地方。」

On investing:

“Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.”
