🧠 Warren Buffett:
“Hayatta istediğim her şeye sahibim.”
“Bir yerine on evim olabilirdi. Daha mutlu olur muydum? Asla.
İki yerine on arabam olabilirdi. Daha mutlu olmazdım. Bu beni çıldırtırdı.”

“400 metrelik bir yatım olabilirdi.
Ama o zaman onlarca kişilik mürettebatı yönetmek zorunda kalırdım.
Bazıları benden çalardı.
Bazıları birbiriyle kavga ederdi.
Kim bilir daha neler olurdu?
Gemi kaptanı olmak isteseydim başka bir mesleğe girerdim.”

İnsanlar zenginliğin daha fazla şeye sahip olmak olduğunu düşünüyor.
Oysa gerçek zenginlik;
İstemediğin şeyleri satın almak zorunda olmamak,
İstemediğin insanlarla çalışmak zorunda olmamak,
Ve zamanını istediğin gibi kullanabilmektir.
Finansal özgürlüğün özü budur.
(Charlie Rose, 2009)
As a long-term investor, you need not obsess over:
- the news of the day
- the latest earnings report
- sudden stock price movements
Instead, you can patiently focus on leadership, customer happiness, and business prospects over the next 5-10 years. You'll make more money, too.
Warren Buffett: "I am willing to spend $100 billion this afternoon."
"I would rather have $100 billion in a really good business bought at a sensible price than have $100 billion in cash."
"Cash — at certain levels — is necessary. But cash is not a good asset."
In 2010, Bill Ackman gave a 44-minute masterclass on how money actually works using a lemonade stand.
He talks about:
• How businesses create value
• Why most investors lose money
• How compounding really builds wealth
12 timeless lessons from Ackman's masterclass:
Living with urgency.
You don't have as much time as you think you do. The days are long but the decades are short. You blink and decades will pass you by.
Make this your new mantra:
Do it now. Do it now. Do it now.
If something can be done in the present, there is absolutely no reason to wait. Delay is the enemy. Urgency must become second nature -- especially for the things that truly matter.
Act as if hesitation could cost you everything, as if inaction would lead to irreversible loss.
Picture the worst-case scenario if you don’t move now -- the kind of regret you’d carry for years.
