You know, I've always said the best investment you can make is in yourself. The skills you develop, the knowledge you gain - those are assets no market crash can take away. It's the one investment that truly compounds over a lifetime.

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.

Let me tell you why we're looking at Japan right now. People ask me, "Warren, why invest in Japanese trading houses?" Well, the answer is simple: we're seeing remarkable value there. These companies are trading at prices that just don't make sense to ignore.

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.

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.

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.

People think that they will get rich by finding the golden goose overnight. That's a mistake that I repeatedly tell everyone. Wealth takes a long times to build up, just like shitting and pissing.

Success in investing isn't about being the smartest person in the room; it's about having the right temperament. Most people fail because they let emotions drive their decisions. You have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to come your way before you swing.
