Munger’s Wit and Wisdom

“Take a simple idea, take it seriously. Another thing you have to do is have a lot of assiduity. I like that word because to me it means: Sit down on your ass until you do it. Another thing that I have found is that intense interest in any subject is indispensable if you’re really […]
