創新工場董事長李開復在臉書發文介紹股神巴菲特如何教孩子，他特別列出巴菲特教孩子的6點：
- （1）若你想讓人生多采多姿，就嘗試去做感興趣的事。
- （2）感覺迷失時不是你迷路了，而是找到正途前的必然之路。
- （3）對志向的渴望可以引領我們完成引以為傲的成就。
- （4）審視自己的內心是最好的投資。
- （5）願望未能實現時，請仔細思考什麼是自己真正想要的。
- （6）能力+熱情+努力+堅持=成功。
父母唯一應為孩子做的就是找到孩子的熱情所在，並鼓勵全力以赴地去追求，並發揮得淋漓盡致。
針對李開復先生所整理的金句，不知原本英文的出處是什麼，也不知道是否正確。
The first several quotes show Warren Buffett’s views on where to work and who to work with.
“People always ask me where they should go to work, and I always tell them to go to work for whom they admire the most.”
&
“Never give up searching for the job that you are passionate about”
&
“…not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.”
&
“I learned to go into business only with people whom I like, trust, and admire.”
&
“In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.”
&
“There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn’t that a little like saving up sex for your old age?”
You cannot be successful in your investing career and be constantly swayed by changing opinions of outsiders. It’s very important to believe in yourself and trust your judgement.
“I had a great teacher in life in my father. But I had another great teacher in terms of profession in terms of Ben Graham. I was lucky enough to get the right foundation very early on. And then basically I didn’t listen to anybody else. I just look in the mirror every morning and the mirror always agrees with me. And I go out and do what I believe I should be doing. And I’m not influenced by what other people think.”
誰是 Ben Graham?
班傑明·葛拉漢（Benjamin Graham，1894年5月8日－1976年9月21日），美國投資家。
安全邊際（margin of safety）是指投資於公司內在價值大於公司市值，並達到一定程度以上（即安全邊際）的公司。其弟子華倫·巴菲特曾轉述恩師的話指出，如果只能用三個英文詞彙來形容正確投資的秘密，那必定是安全邊際。由於這種注重成本與價值之間距離的投資風格，也形成了巴菲特獨特的投資觀點：「在別人貪婪時恐懼，在別人恐懼時貪婪」。前者意指因為市場過熱、安全邊際降低，應該特別謹慎；而後者因為市場行情轉淡、股價低迷，形成明智投資者低價收購股權的絕佳機會。巴菲特在市場大跌市場普遍看壞前景時（如金融海嘯發生後的2008年底），敢於大舉收購股權的理論依據即在此。
班傑明·葛拉漢在其著作《智慧型股票投資人》中指出，「最明智的投資，是朝向事業化發展」(Investment is most intelligent when it is most businesslike.)，這段話形成巴菲特在管理波克夏控股公司時的重要管理策略：他未將購入之股權當作可買賣交易的股票、而是視為一個個獨立經營的事業體，深入了解營運特質後長期持有，享受其營收的成長、而不單純由股價的上漲獲得報酬。此一理念亦是巴菲特跳脫股票操作、而晉升投資事業家的重要基石。
1) Buffett’s Only Two Rules For Investing…
“Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No.1”
2) The Market Can Price Things Wrong
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
3) High Returns With Low Risk is the Key
“Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”
4) Get Around the Right People
“It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.
5) It’s Easier to Look Back Than to Look Into the Future
“In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.”
6) Buy Wonderful Companies
“It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price, than a fair company at a wonderful price.”
7) Your Public Image and Reputation
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
8) It’s OK to Dream Big
“I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.”
9) Invest for the Long Term
“Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.”
10) Buy It Thinking You Will Hold It Forever
“Our favorite holding period is forever.”
11) People Make Investing Seem More Difficult Than it Should
“The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.”
12) Doing Nothing is Often the Right Thing to Do
“You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.
13) On Finding Honesty in Others
“Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don’t expect it from cheap people.”
14) Appreciate Where You Came From
“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
15) Give Back to Society
“If you’re in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%.”
16) Don’t Make Investing Difficult
“There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.”
17) Make Your Own Forecasts
“Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.”
18) It’s Usually Best to Just Say “No”
“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”
19) Do What You Love
“In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.”
20) Actions vs. Results
“You know… you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.”
21) Invest Only in Companies You Know and Trust
“An investor should act as though he had a lifetime decision card with just twenty punches on it.”
22) Manage Your Time Better
“You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.”
23) Great Investors Don’t Diversify
“Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.”
24) Seize Great Opportunities and Load Up the Truck
“Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.”
25) History Doesn’t Dictate the Future
“If past history was all that is needed to play the game of money, the richest people would be librarians.”
26) Choose Your Heroes Wisely
“Tell me who your heroes are and I’ll tell you who you’ll turn out to be.”
27) Make Long Term Investments Over Short Term Ones
“If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.”
28) Don’t Be Greedy
“…not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.”
29) Spend Time on Personal Development
“The most important investment you can make is in yourself.”
