Warren Buffett calls him the smartest man he knows:
Charlie Munger.
Together they've built a $991 billion empire. And his speeches are a masterclass in decision making, rationality, and success.
Here're 10 of his best ideas to help you win at business and life:
1. “Knowing what you don’t know is more useful than being brilliant.”
Most people spend their lives wrestling with the consequences of poor decisions. But the truth is it’s much easier to avoid stupidity than try to be smart.
Admit you know nothing. Remove ego from the equation.
2 “A majority of life’s errors are caused by forgetting what one is really trying to do.”
We set goals, pursue them, then get distracted.
To achieve something meaningful, you need to constantly correct course.
Set a north star and keep it front of mind.
3. “Mimicking the herd invites regression to the mean.”
If you do the same as everyone else, you’ll get the same results.
But most people are:
• Unhappy
• Unfulfilled
• Unmotivated
Following society’s standards traps you in them.
Be bold. Go against the grain.
4. “To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want.”
Naval once said the world is an efficient place.
You can’t control results, but you can control your:
· Character
· Work ethic
· Willingness to learn
Earn what you want.
5. “The fundamental algorithm of life – repeat what works.”
It’s easy to overcomplicate success.
But the truth is everything you do creates feedback. Smart people listen.
When something goes poorly, do less.
When something goes well, do it much more.
6. “Those who keep learning, will keep rising.”
Most people stop learning at 18. Munger is still going at 98.
Knowledge is an asset that compounds over time.
The more you know, the better you think. Better choices, great consequences.
Schedule time to study.
7. “You don’t have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long time.”
Berkshire Hathaway is valued at $991.89 billion.
Buffet and Munger’s approach?
Rationality and patience.
It isn’t a sexy approach, but the results sure as hell are.
8. “The best thing a human being can do is help another human being know more.”
The best way to live your life is in service to other people. Especially now with the online opportunities.
Be generous with your ideas. Share what you know and help others win.
9. “We insist on a lot of time being available almost every day to just sit and think.”
We live at a time of constant input. Everyone wants to maximise every moment for productivity.
But life is cause and effect.
Decisions are the key to success. Time to think is the priority.
10. “You must know the big ideas in the big disciplines and use them routinely.”
Principles from:
· Maths
· Physics
· Biology
· Philosophy
· Engineering
All have a profound impact on life.
Study mental models. Build a toolkit. Treat your mind like your greatest asset.

沃伦巴菲特称他为他认识的最聪明的人：
查理芒格。
他们共同建立了一个价值 9910 亿美元的帝国。他的演讲是关于决策、理性和成功的大师班。
以下是他的 10 个最佳创意，可帮助您在商业和生活中取胜：
1.“知道你不知道的东西比聪明更有用。”
大多数人一生都在与错误决定的后果作斗争。但事实是，避免愚蠢比变得聪明容易得多。
承认你什么都不知道。从等式中删除自我。
2 “生活中的大多数错误都是由于忘记了自己真正想做的事情。”
我们设定目标，追求它们，然后分心。
为了实现有意义的事情，您需要不断纠正路线。
设置一颗北极星并将其放在首位。
3.“模仿群体会导致回归均值。”
如果你和其他人一样做，你会得到同样的结果。
但大多数人是：
• 不开心
• 未完成
• 没有动力
遵循社会标准会让你陷入其中。
大胆一点。逆风而行。
4.“为了得到你想要的，你必须得到你想要的。”
海军曾经说过，世界是一个高效的地方。
你无法控制结果，但你可以控制你的：
• 特点
• 职业道德
• 学习的意愿
赚你想要的。
5.“生活的基本算法——重复有效的方法。”
很容易把成功复杂化。
但事实是你所做的一切都会产生反馈。聪明人听。
当事情不顺利时，少做。
当事情进展顺利时，做得更多。
6.“不断学习的人，将不断上升。”
大多数人在 18 岁就停止学习。芒格在 98 岁时仍在学习。
知识是随着时间的推移而复合的资产。
你知道的越多，你的想法就越好。更好的选择，巨大的后果。
安排时间学习。
7.“你不必很聪明，只要比其他人聪明一点，平均来说，很长一段时间。”
伯克希尔哈撒韦的估值为 9918.9 亿美元。
巴菲特和芒格的方法？
理性和耐心。
这不是一个性感的方法，但结果肯定是地狱。
8.“一个人能做的最好的事情就是帮助另一个人知道更多。”
最好的生活方式是为他人服务。尤其是现在有了在线机会。
慷慨地提出你的想法。分享您所知道的并帮助他人获胜。
9. “我们坚持几乎每天都有大量时间坐下来思考。”
我们生活在一个不断投入的时代。每个人都想最大限度地提高每一刻的生产力。
但生活是因果。
决策是成功的关键。思考的时间是首要任务。
10.“你必须知道大学科中的大思想，并经常使用它们。”
