Todd Combs was studying at Columbia when his class was visited by Warren Buffett. After Warren’s talk, there was a Q&A. The last question was: “What’s your secret?”
Warren pulled out a large stack of paper and said he read 500 pages a week, and that any of the students in the crowd could do the same, but few would. Todd did, and now works at Berkshire. There’s a lot more to it than that, but I’m adopting this habit.
