@eagleseyeinc If each of us recruits someone smaller than we are, we become a company of dwarfs. If each of us recruits someone bigger and smarter than we are, we become a company of giants. I'd rather be sorrounded by people smarter and more intelligent than me who can see fresh perspectives.
@ngonithetechguy@kus_hilton A new rule. We complied but we ended up banging the cutlery against the plates when eating just to annoy him. He folded after two weeks ๐๐๐. Not proud of it
@ngonithetechguy@kus_hilton there is this, then there is us silently protesting against the deputy head because he was asking us to use cutlery in the dining ๐๐๐
@ngonithetechguy Only replaced an LMS about $200/year. Then shifted all our sites to Astro.js with Cloudflare hosting(free tier) - $1250/yr saved in server/hosting fees. All other tools, figured it's better to customize within an existing ERP rather than rebuilding the wheel.
If Lionel Scaloni ever thinks of holding a class on Emotional Management, even if itโs ยฃ5k, Iโll attend.
What do you mean your team scores in the 91st minute to win the game and you almost do not flinch. Same with World Cup final.
Who is this guy??
Greg Abel had Warren Buffett speak at start of the 2026 Berkshire Hathaway AGM.
Buffett spent most of it praising Tim Cook, seated a few rows behind next to John Ternus. Since 2016, Berkshireโs $35B initial investment officially grew to $185B.
โAbout 10 years ago, we made a commitment to move 10% of Berkshire Hathaway resources and turn it over to a person who was not well known at the time. We did that by roughly spending $35B to buy stock in Apple.
We turned that money over to Apple to essentially make Berkshire look good without any work by usโฆwhich is our preferred way of operating.
Ten years later, the $35B โ counting dividends, realized appreciation and unrealized appreciation โ has turned into $185B pretax. And I didnโt have to do a damn thing.
Our largest holding is still Apple [$60B+].
When Tim Cook went into the top position at Apple [in 2011], he succeeded a legend. Steve Jobs. Everyone in America knew his name. Not many knew Timโs name.
Steve did these marvelous things, developing products and he had an untimely death. Everyone asked who would run the company. [โฆ]
How would you like to step in the shoes of Steve and come through with [Cookโs record]? Itโs one of the miracles of American business management. Anyway, thank you Tim.โ
Warren Buffett watching Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel speak at this morning's shareholder meeting in Omaha. Sitting in the audience for the first time ever.
He looks very proud.
