Look at Apple - we bought our first shares at around $175 billion market cap. Today it's worth well over $2 trillion. That's the power of patience in investing. You don't need to be a genius; you need time and conviction in great businesses.

The real secret is that you do not need to be a genius. You just need more patience than the next person. Investing is not about the noise or flashing screens; it is simply about finding a great business and waiting for time to do the work.

The real secret to success isn't about intelligence or luck; it is about temperament. You must have the discipline to wait for the right pitch. If you simply avoid making the big mistakes and let time work its magic, you'll find wealth follows naturally.

Look at Apple stock. When we first bought it at $175, many thought we were late to the game. But we saw value where others saw risk. It's not about timing the market, it's about finding great businesses at fair prices and holding them. Time is the friend of wonderful companies.

Look at it this way: if you find a wonderful business, it's like finding a great apartment in New York City. You don't keep trading apartments every week or month. You find something good and you stick with it. That's how real wealth is built.

Look at companies like See's Candies. We bought it for $25 million in 1972. People asked why pay so much for a candy company. But good businesses are like good marriages - you pick well, then you stay committed. Time is the friend of wonderful companies.

You know, I've always said the best investment you can make is in yourself. I mean, nobody can tax it away, nobody can steal it, and if you develop good habits early on, it's like compound interest for your character, you see.

You see, investing is really quite simple, but not easy. It's like having a good diet - everybody understands the concept, but the discipline to stick with it is what separates success from failure. That's why patience is so valuable in business.
