I Think Thinking Might Be a Lost Art

I am on a Warren Buffett tear. I’m halfway through his biography called Snowball and I look up his most famous quotes on the Internet.

He is a “good guy” and if he’d never made a nickel in his life let alone $60 billion and counting, he would still be fascinating to me.

He is a modern-day Mark Twain and people flock to his company’s annual meeting to hear him speak. His yearly newsletter is treated like a new Sermon on the Mount.

So forgive me, if in the next while, I throw around a few of his quotes about life.

In one of those musings, he talks about how he sits and thinks every evening. Just thinks. Reads a bit, then sets everything aside and thinks.

And he says it’s a practice that has gone out of style.

I “think” he’s right.
