One of the clearest signs of HIGH INTELLIGENCE is having no desire to be seen, admired, or understood by people, at peace with being misunderstood, and incredibly skilled at the art of letting go.
WARREN BUFFETT ON ONE LAST DAY WITH CHARLIE MUNGER
Charlie Munger never did one day of voluntary exercise and still made it to 99.9 years
Warren Buffett said it on stage in Omaha in May 2024. He was 93. Charlie had been dead 5 months
A shareholder asked him one question: if you had one more day with Charlie, what would you do with him?
Buffett laughed, then talked for 7 minutes
They played golf. They played tennis. And the days they enjoyed most were the days something failed
Digging out of a foxhole with a partner beat sitting there watching a 10-year-old idea print money
Munger never trained. Never thought about what he ate. He read instead
At 99 he was peaking. Elon Musk drove out to the house on June Street to sit with him. Buffett could name one other man the world traveled to like that: the Dalai Lama
Someone once asked Charlie who he'd pick for lunch out of anyone alive in the last 2,000 years
He said he'd already met all of them. Through books. No restaurant required. He liked Ben Franklin's writing better than Buffett's
In 64 years, Buffett cannot remember one time either of them was mad at the other
Then he flipped the question back at the young man who asked it
Work out who you want beside you on your last day. Go meet them tomorrow
"Don't bother with the others."
