Hello again ka!
The past weekend, I enjoyed reading a translated version (by ประเวศ หงส์จรรยา) of the book, 'Life is What You Make It' by Peter Buffett, and have been thinking a lot about it.
After I read it, I bought an e-copy loei as there are many in the book I'd love to quote....but have yet to read the English version lae ka:))!
Some of the things that I've got are:
1. The author was talking about identity and values, feeling he was given a privileged life and trying to find the meaning out of his own potentials and interests to be truly proud.
2. I admire the ways his parents brought him up. Both Warren Buffett and his wife taught him well. Both are very modest and their children have seen how they've been living their lives, from when the family wasn't wealthy until when they are today! The author's mother taught him to respect all religious faiths and to learn from the teaching. She inculcated in him the respect of diversity and for me in particular, this diversity issue has been the highlight I gain from reading it....religions, races, social and economic background, etc.
3. He stressed his parents' teaching about learning that everyone has stories to share and they too can teach, not just those highly educated.
4. Ability to link and apply what we learn across fields and issues is crucial for us to see and do more.
5. Teamwork is highly successful when maximizing the uniqueness and real talents in each of the members to the fullest.
6. True success shouldn't be linked far too closely with 'money earned' since it could be beyond our control. It needs to 'come from within', from the substance that we've made possible from 'the mysterious chemistry of our abilities and passion and hard work and commitment.'
Want to pick up a copy to read mai ka?
