So you want to be the next Warren Buffet? How's your writing?

I read this 6 pages long article thanks to a reader (temperament) who told me about it when I wrote my last post on Talent. I think it's an excellent read and while it answers a few questions of my own, it also made me have more questions. Especially the part when it is all set in stone by the time you turn 12.

  1. People use to say that the environment and upbringing during one's childhood will have a great effect on a person's future. But then this is not always true. A child born in a thieving family does not necessary mean that years later as a grown up he or she will have this trait. So is it really true all is set in stone after turning 12? Survivorship and success as the article mentioned, to a large extent depending on differentiation and having the competitive edge.

    1. I think a person's childhood affects his/her psychology which at that age of 10-12 is like just before the onset of puberty. I think this is what he meant by hard wired into the brain and can't be learnt during adulthood.

    1. I'm not advocating Buffet although he does impress me on a few counts. Agreed that in investing it could be different strokes for different folks as long as the ultimate goal is reached aka making $$$
