And if you take Warren Buffett and watched him with a time clock, I would say half of all the time he spends is sitting on his ass and reading. And a big chunk of the rest of the time is spent talking one on one either on the telephone or personally with highly gifted people whom he trusts and who trust him. In other words, it looks quite academic, all this worldly success.
所以天将要把重大任务落到这个人身上,一定先要使他的心志痛苦,使他的筋骨劳累,使他的身体饥饿,使他的身子穷困,并且使他的每一行为总是不能如意,借此来使他的内心震动,坚韧他的性情,增加他的才干。
