The reason for such a strange scene is that we can vaguely see it.We always strive for basic morality and sound common sense.

9,Common sense is common sense that ordinary people do not have. When we say that someone has common sense, we are actually saying that he has common sense that ordinary people do not have. People think that it is easy to have common sense, but it is actually very difficult.

The wisdom of solving difficult problems

12It is very important to know the boundaries of your circle of abilities. How can it be a circle of ability if you don't even know where the boundary is? I don't have the ability, but I think I do, and I'm sure I'm going to make a big mistake.

13,You have to always compare what you can do with what others can do, and you need to always be rational, especially don't lie to yourself.

14,In dealing with great danger, my attitude is to be as far away as possible.Others, however, as long as they don't fall into it, stick it as close as possible. I think it's too close. I don't want to do that.

15A difficult problem that I can't solve, I will draw a warning line, so that the problem can not get in at all. No matter who encounters difficult people or thorny things, there is no good way. My general principle is to stay away from it.

16My way of life is to see through the stupidest thing and stay away. Living like this, I can't make myself a popular person, but I can take precautions against many troubles.

simple

17We can succeed not because we are good at solving problems but because we are good at staying away from problems. We're just looking for something simple to do.

18After finding the best one, as long as it is not as good as this one, you don't have to look at it. Understand this truth, life is much simpler.

19Wise people can wait patiently, let time go by, and realize the beauty of it. Most people are always fooling around.

20Discipline, virtue, friendship and opportunity are all simple things to say. You really want to learn something from Charlie Munger, remember what I said, "Old Li, it's reliable." "All those traditional virtues are useful for a lifetime.

Take the right path

21,When we can make a choice, there are many people we should stay away from.

22Buffett said a very classic saying: "follow the right path, the road is getting wider and wider." "this is true.

23No matter how much money can buy, you can find a partner who is better than yourself. Many people inadvertently find a better partner than themselves when they are young. In fact, you don't have to try your luck, you can pursue it consciously.

24Many people carry eye-catching labels that read "danger, danger, do not approach", while others rush forward. This is definitely a mistake with serious consequences.

25,Buffett often said: "it may not be wise to marry for money." It's definitely out of your mind to get married for money when you already have money. "A man is already rich and makes his reputation stink. It's stupid.

The secret of longevity and happiness

26Q: what is the secret of your longevity and happiness? )

I'm not jealous. Don't complain. Don't overspend. Keep an optimistic attitude in the face of any difficulties. To the right people. Do your job.It's all simple truth, and it's all old truth. If you do it, you will benefit for the rest of your life.

27Looking back on the past, there is always something that can be done better. It's the same for everyone. However, everyone is bound to miss the opportunity, which is doomed. I always think that if you can't change things, don't worry too much.Complaining and complaining is a taboo in life.

28,Jealousy is also taboo, and jealousy is no fun. Who gets the enjoyment in jealousy? What good is jealousy for you? There's always someone better than you. It's stupid to be jealous of others.

29Mozart can be said to be the greatest musical genius in the history of mankind. How is his life? Mozart was resentful, unhappy and died young.

How did Mozart live like this? He did two things, both of which were enough to be in pain.

Mozart did not know how to live within his means and was profligate in money. This was the first thing. Second, he was filled with jealousy and complaints.

Some people are born better than you, of course, no matter how hard you try, there will always be someone who can achieve more than you. My mindset is "so what?" Do any of us have to be on top of the world? I don't think that's necessary!

If anyone is profligate and full of jealousy and complaint, he will live a bitter and miserable life and die early.If you want to live hard and die early, please learn from Mozart.

32,The secret of making money is to save money and live a simple life.When Buffett and I were young and broke, we both saved money and saved it for investment. Hold on for a lifetime, and end up very rich.

33I live such a big age, live very well, there is a secret, I tell you: don't think too well of human nature.

34There are many defects and defects in human nature. If you are dissatisfied with everything, full of grievances and grievances, you will only be counterproductive and cheat yourself, but you can't change the world.

If you destroy yourself, how can the world be worth it? It's not worth it. I would never do such a stupid thing.
