Charlie Got It Right

This week’s Editor’s Note is referencing a paragraph by self made billionaire, Charlie Munger. Anybody interested in the investment world will know the name Charlie Munger. He is not only one of the most successful investors of all time but he also shares a lot of wisdom in his writings. Let me throw to Charlie:
​
“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”


My question for you this week is what will you read before bed to allow you to be a little wiser before you count the zzz’s? Will you listen to a podcast, read a magazine, an autobiography, a fictional book, a great blog or poetry? You name it, you do it and you will reap the rewards. Given the frantic and busy nature of our lives, most of us are not taking time to learn. To be better tomorrow than you are today you have to learn new information. The brain strives for and loves new. The challenge this week from The Espresso is, tell us what you’re going to read, listen to or take in that will make you a little wiser.
