I am Yoshida, president of Yamada Shusei Ltd., a professional apparel garment repair group in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.
I recently read “Warren Buffett In His Own Words” (edited by David Andrews, translated by Fumiko Ishii). I became interested in Warren Buffett because he was mentioned in a self-analysis profile I had done some time ago as the type of successful person to whom I would apply. In this article, I would like to introduce his life philosophy and secrets of success, and I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some of the quotes from the book in future installments.
Warren Buffett's Life Advice
1) Find a profession you love.
Buffett stresses the importance of finding a profession that you truly love. Since work is a large part of life, he believes that working in a field you are passionate about will lead to long-term satisfaction and success.
2) Marry the right person.
Marriage is one of life's major decisions. According to Buffett, living life with a partner you can trust is the key to a happy family. Marriage with the right partner is a factor that multiplies the joy of life.
3) Love your family unconditionally.
Family ties are one of the most important things in life. Buffett believes that unconditional love and support of family members brings true happiness. Valuing your relationship with your family will give you the strength to overcome life's challenges.
4) Believe in yourself.
Believing in yourself and not being swayed by the opinions of others is an important point Buffett emphasizes. Self-belief is the foundation for achieving success, and being true to one's values and goals is the secret to a successful life.
Warren Buffett's advice is simple yet profound. Finding a career you love, marrying the right person, loving your family, and believing in yourself are all secrets to success that he has practiced himself. While not for everyone, these teachings can be one guiding principle to enrich your life.
