Buffett's philosophy: wealth is a tool, not the goal
Originally written in Chinese. Translated with AI, reviewed by Gary. Read the Chinese original →
"...equal opportunity should begin at birth and extreme "look-at-me" styles of living should be legal but not admirable. As a family, we have had everything we needed or simply liked, but we have not sought enjoyment from the fact that others craved what we had."
(Equal opportunity should start at birth, and showing-off lifestyles, while legal, are nothing to admire. As a family, we have had everything we needed or liked, but we have never tried to enjoy ourselves by owning what others wanted.)
The old man's philosophy: wealth isn't the final goal of life. It's a tool for living a meaningful one.
