Buffett: The Most Important Thing In Your Career Is To Concentrate.

For more than half a century, Warren Buffett has always grasped the right timing. For this legendary investor, his long-term investment has made an astonishing return. Some scholars even dare not believe that this is just a fluke. The most important thing in life is concentration. For the workplace, concentration is particularly important.

　 Buffett himself attributed his success to " Absorbed " Schroder wrote: "in addition to focusing on business activities, he almost turns a deaf ear to everything else, such as art, literature, science, travel, architecture and so on, so he can concentrate on pursuing his passion." Schroder said that when he was a child, Warren carried his own most precious property and changed money automatically. When he was 10 years old, his father proposed to take him on a trip. He asked to go to the New York stock exchange. Not long after, Buffett read a book called "1000 strokes to earn 1000 dollars." he told his friends that he would become a millionaire before the age of 35. "In the Great Depression of the 1941, a child dared to say such a thing, it was really audacious, it sounds a bit silly," wrote Schroder. "But... He is very sure that he can realize this dream.

On the weekend of Independence Day in 1991, Buffett and Gates met. The meeting was carried out under the initiative of Catherine Graham and editor in chief of Washington Post, Meg Greenfield.

For Gates, Buffett Still very appreciative. Although Buffett is 25 years older than him, he knows Gates is a very smart person, but more importantly, two people have been competing for the fortune list of Forbes. However, Buffett did not join Catherine's weekend trip with the character of IT who did not catch cold with the people of IT. But Buffett persuaded him to waver. Greenfield told him, "you will love Gates's parents, and many interesting people will go." In the end, Buffett agreed.

When I thought of seeing Buffett, what was Gates's heart? "I talked with my mother," I said to my mother, and asked me why I didn't come to the dinner at home. I told her that I was too busy to walk away, but she moved out Catherine G Graham and Buffett two people and said they all took part in it. "But I told my mother that I knew nothing about the person who would only take the money to invest in the stock market. I had nothing to communicate with him. We were not a world person. But under the insistence of my mother, I agreed."

For the first time the two giants met, many people were watching carefully. At least on one point, Buffett and Gates are similar. If they encounter a topic they are not keen on, they will try their best to end it. People have long heard about Gates's lack of concealment of his patience. Buffett, though he would not go away in advance to find a book when he meets a boring topic, but he still has his own way. He will free himself from the topic he has never been interested in for the first time.

In exchange with Gates, Buffett still had no transition language as usual, and went straight to the subject. He asked Gates about the future trend of IBM company. He also asked Gates whether IBM had become a competitor that Microsoft Corp could not ignore, and why the information industry company changed so quickly. Gates answered one by one. He told Buffett to buy two technology stocks: Intel and Microsoft. It was Gates's turn to ask questions. He asked the other party about the economy of the newspaper industry. Buffett said frankly that the economy of the newspaper industry is gradually going to the abyss of destruction, which is directly related to the vigorous development of other media. In just a few minutes, the two of them entered the state of deep communication.

"We talked all the time, and we never noticed anyone else. I asked him a lot of questions about the IT industry, but I never wanted to understand the industry that belonged to him. Gates is a very good teacher. None of us has the idea of ending this conversation.

Buffett and Gates As we talked about it, we came to the beach from the garden. "We didn't notice the existence of these people at all. We didn't see that there were many important people around us. In the end, Gates's father could not see it. He told us very Gly that he hoped we could integrate into this party and not always talk to two people." {page_break}

"After that, Bill started trying to persuade me to buy a computer, but I told him I didn't know what the computer could do for me. I didn't mind the specific curve of my investment project. I didn't want to see the result every 5 minutes. I told him that I had a clear grasp of all this. But Bill did not give up. He said he wanted to send Microsoft's most beautiful salesgirl to sell Microsoft products to me, so that she could teach me how to use the computer. The way he spoke was very interesting. I told him, "you have made a condition that people can not refuse, but I will refuse."

Until the sun sets, cocktail parties begin, and the conversation between the two men is not over yet. When Gates came to the airport, he would leave in the evening. Only when the plane left, Gates did not leave. He still enjoyed the fun of chatting with Buffett.

During dinner, Gates's father asked everyone a question. What is the most important thing in life? My answer is "concentration", and Bill's answer is the same as mine!

When Buffett said the word "concentration", he did not know how many of the people here could understand the meaning of his word, but attention has always been an important guide to Buffett's progress. What is the focus? It is the pursuit of perfection, and this kind of disposition is unique. It can not be imitated by anyone who says imitation.

Concentration is not only the key to success in doing things, but also a trait of healthy mind. Focus is concentrating your attention on something, integrating with the things you are concerned about, not attracted by other things, and not haunting anxiety.

　 People who can't concentrate can't relax. Concentration and relaxation are actually two sides of the same coin. Concentration is also a key trait of a happy life.

A person can only have fun when he focuses on something. For one thing, no matter what prejudice you have in the past and how boring it is, once you focus on it, it will become alive instantly. The most beautiful state of a person is to enter the living state.

Focus is the pursuit of professional excellence. It is because of concentration that Thomas Edison has become the greatest inventor in American history. It is because of his concentration that Walter Disney has become the father of the world-famous cartoon. It is because of his concentration that he has made us understand the godfather of American soul music James Brown. Similarly, dedication is the determination to accomplish a great cause. Otherwise, people will not see the first female congressman, Janet LAN Jin Li, to oppose the United States' participation in the two World War.
