Where do you seek out sound advice?
Your parents?
Friends at work?
A counselor or pastor?
The Bible or other religious literature?
As I see it, the problem with a lot of advice is threefold:
- It’s not actually helpful…
- It’s given by someone who has a damaging, personal life issue that clouds their bias and…
- It’s coming from a person who has an alternative agenda (i.e. they are driving you to a decision that benefits them)
This makes it extremely hard to find advice that you can run with. Put the wrong advice in your head and hands and the results could be disastrous.
When it comes to money, perhaps no businessmen and investor has achieved more in his lifetime than Warren Buffett. From humble beginnings of selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola and magazines door-to-door as a kid, he has become one of the wealthiest men in the world. People pay money to sit at his feet for a few minutes so they can pick his brain about life and money.
So when I ran across some Warren Buffett quotes on life and money awhile ago, I couldn’t help but pause and reflect on how I felt about a few of them.
