Warren Buffet on Achievements

1. Don't risk what you have to get something you don't need.


Most businesses and individuals put themselves at risk to chase after bigger things, usually out of greed when they should have held back.

"If you risk something that is important to you for something that is unimportant to you, it just doesn't make sense. I don't care if the odds you succeed are 99 to 1 or 1,000 to 1."

2. Invest in relationships with honest and ethical people.


"That would be the person who is generous, honest, and who gave credit to other people for their own ideas."

In the Buffett biography, The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, Buffett explains that the highest measure of success in life comes 

"by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you."
