Warren Buffett's tribute to a legendary investor reveals 3 secrets to living an extraordinary life (via CNBCMakeIt)
Benjamin Graham, widely regarded as the father of value investing, was considered a legend for many reasons.
Each of those hopes undoubtedly shaped Buffett to become one of the richest and most influential people in the world. Here's what they can teach us about how to live an extraordinary life: He continued:"What investors then need instead is an ability to both disregard mob fears or enthusiasms and to focus on a few simple fundamentals. A willingness to look unimaginative for a sustained period — or even to look foolish — is also essential."
"A remarkable aspect of Ben's dominance of his professional field was that he achieved it without the narrowness of mental activity that concentrates all efforts on a single end," Buffett says in Graham's remembrance letter."It was, rather, the incidental byproduct of an intellect whose breadth almost exceeded definition."According to Buffett, generosity was where Graham succeeded beyond all others.
