Warren Buffett quotes
Warren Buffett is either the second or the third richest man on the planet, depending on who you listen to. He did not invent something spectacular nor did he inherit his wealth or win the lottery, he simply started investing while he was young, got the best returns he could possibly get and stuck with it.
Here are a few of his most famous quotes:
“I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.”
This quote means the most to me personally. I am young and not rich yet by any means, but I have always known that I am going to be rich. It is in my blood. I do not want to be rich out of greed, even though I certainly won’t mind the money, it is just something that I have always known will happen.
“I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.”
This is another great quote by Warren Buffett. You do not have to hit a grand slam every time you pick a stock when investing or a piece of property when it comes to real estate. It is okay to hit singles, steal bases, and hit the occasional home run. You should not expect 50% yearly returns in the stock market, but its okay, you will become rich over time if you get 10% returns every year year after year.
The two quotes above mean as much to me as anything. You need to realize that you are capable of becoming very wealthy. You do not need to do anything special to become rich, just consistently invest and put money away day after day. Keep on hitting singles and in the end it will turn out to be something great.
