The legendary woman who was reborn from the ashes

Chapter 36: Buffett and Sima Guang's Conversation

On a sunny afternoon, Buffett was sitting in his office, sipping his favorite Coke. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and an old man in ancient costume holding a history book appeared in front of him. Isn't this Sima Guang? Buffett's eyes widened and he almost spit out the Coke in his hand.

Sima Guang stroked his beard as if nothing had happened and said calmly: "Mr. Ba, don't panic. I came here through the time tunnel to discuss investment and wisdom with you."

Buffett couldn't help but be curious and started chatting with Sima Guang. The two of them were like old friends, talking about investment philosophy, life wisdom, stock market dynamics and historical trends.

Buffett is a man with a distinct personality, and his conversation with Sima Guang is full of wit and humor.

Buffett said: "Brother Sima, I have always advocated long-term value investment. If I am optimistic about a company, I will hold on to it and wait for its value to be released."

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Brother Ba is right. We should be patient and have vision when dealing with people and things. Just like when we study history, we should see the deep logic behind things."

The two of them became more and more interested in each other as they talked, as if they had found a common language and investment code.

As the conversation got heated, Buffett suddenly suggested, "Brother Sima, let's talk about the current economic situation."

So, the two began to analyze the current economic events in society, from the rise of technology stocks to the fluctuations in the real estate market. Buffett nodded from time to time, thinking that Sima Guang's insights were unique and he benefited a lot from them.

Sima Guang also showed great interest in the complexity of modern financial markets and asked Buffett many questions.

During the in-depth conversation, the two found that they had similar views. Buffett said, "Brother Sima, I think we are very similar. We both emphasize long-term planning and prudent decision-making."

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Yes, although we live in different time and space, our goal of pursuing truth and wisdom is the same."

Before he knew it, it was already dark. A ray of light flashed again, and Sima Guang said goodbye to Buffett and returned to his own era.

Buffett stood in his office, his heart full of emotion and enlightenment. He decided to apply the wisdom he learned from this wonderful conversation to his investment career and become a better investor.

Since then, Buffett has thrived in the investment market, and his investment decisions have become more stable and wise. Whenever he faces a major decision, he always thinks of Sima Guang, who traveled through time and space, and the conversation that changed his life.

Buffett is an investment tycoon, not just a tycoon who counts money. His office is filled with investment reports and stock charts, and he is like a detective, always looking for clues to his next fortune.

According to Professor Feng Lun's interpretation, Sima Guang's words in "Zizhi Tongjian": "Talent is the foundation of virtue; virtue is the leader of talent" are like an exquisite key that unlocked for me the subtle and profound relationship between success and character.

These two sentences are short but full of weight, like the melodious sound of a thousand-year-old bell. They can still resonate in our hearts even after traveling through the dust of time and space.

If we were in an ancient academy and had a conversation with Sima Guang, he might tell us: A true talent is not just a collection of wisdom and skills, but also the embodiment of character and morality.

If a person has talent but no morality, he is like a rudderless ship, at the mercy of wind and waves, and it is difficult for him to reach the other side of success.

The modern investment guru Buffett, his success story and philosophy of life, also provide us with strong proof of the importance of character.

Buffett has not only won the world's respect with his outstanding investment vision and well-thought-out investment strategies, but also set an example of character for us with his noble personality charm and firm moral beliefs.

He once said: "Investment success does not rely solely on intelligence and diligence, but more importantly on good character." This sentence is like a beacon that illuminates our way forward and reminds us to stay true to our original aspirations and stick to our moral bottom line in our pursuit of success.

Buffett's friend Peter Kiewit has also put forward a similar view. He believes that when recruiting talents, character, intelligence and diligence are the three core elements, and character is the most important among them.

A person's character determines how he behaves, how he treats others, and how he handles problems.

A person with high moral character will behave with integrity, honesty and kindness, and will naturally win the trust and respect of others.

On the contrary, a person with low moral standards may behave in a selfish, greedy and deceptive manner, and such a person will eventually lose the trust and support of others.

Sima Guang's point of view also echoes this. He believes that people with both virtue and talent are saints, while people with talent but no virtue are villains.

When evaluating a person, we should not only pay attention to his talents and skills, but also his character and moral standards. Only people with both talent and integrity can truly create value for society and contribute to the development of human civilization.

On the road to success, don't forget to establish your own noble character and morality. Act with honesty, integrity and kindness as the principle, and win the trust and respect of others;

Maintain tenacity and perseverance in the face of difficulties and challenges, and continuously improve your talents and skills;

Always adhere to the moral bottom line and do not do things that harm the interests of others and the public interest. Only then can we truly become useful talents and realize our own values ​​and dreams.

This is like the wisdom of Buffett and Sima Guang, who tell us that no matter what field we pursue success in, we must not neglect the cultivation of character. Because only people with both moral integrity and talent can go further and more steadily on the road of life.

Such character requires us to practice and accumulate in every choice and every action in our daily life.

In addition to successful investment, Buffett also thinks about the meaning and value of life. He might say: "Although wealth is important, true happiness comes from the love of life and the love for others."

Buffett knows that real wealth does not come from short-term market fluctuations, but from high-quality companies that stand the test of time. This unique investment philosophy has earned him widespread praise and respect among investors.

Buffett's choices are not only based on cold numbers and market forecasts, but also stem from his in-depth understanding of companies and social responsibility. Companies that are honest, upright, and socially responsible are his real investment targets. As for those companies with problems in character, he will choose to stay away without hesitation.

Because he knows that investment is not only a financial behavior, but also a social responsibility and moral choice. Only by choosing those companies with good conduct to invest in can we truly achieve long-term and stable returns and create more value for society.

Therefore, Buffett encourages investors to not only pay attention to the financial status and market prospects of enterprises when choosing investment targets, but also to have a deep understanding of the conduct and moral standards of enterprises, so as to make more wise investment decisions and realize their own wealth appreciation and social responsibility.

When we pursue success, we also pay attention to the cultivation of character, so that our success will be more profound and lasting. In daily life, we should constantly reflect on our behavior, adjust our attitude, improve our quality, gradually become a person with both moral integrity and ability, win the trust and respect of others, and achieve real success.
