Warren Buffett Told a Teenager His Secret to Success 15 Years Ago. It's Still the Best Advice You'll Hear Today
It may be time to find some new friends.
By Marcel Schwantes
Fifteen years ago, while taking questions from shareholders and fans at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, the billionaire Buffett was asked by a teenager what advice he would give a young person in order to become successful.
Buffett's response was a bullseye, whatever your age or stage of life. The Oracle of Omaha replied:
It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
The people you choose to be around truly do matter for career progression. When you choose to surround yourself with better and smarter individuals and learn from their success habits, you absorb their knowledge and become better and smarter yourself.
