"Look for the job that you would take if you didn't need a job" · Transcript · BuffettMungerGPT

WarrenAnd I got some advice for the young. If you've got anything you really want to do, don't wait till you're 93. No, do it. No, that's the same thing I would tell students. You can't always find it the first time or the second time. But when you go out in the world, look for the job that you would take if you didn't need a job. I mean, don't postpone that sort of thing. Somebody, I think it's Kirkagard, said that, you know, life must be evaluated backwards, but it must be lived forwards. And you want to sort of, Charlie says, all he wants to know is where he'll die, so he'll never go there. You know, and so you do want to do a certain amount of reverse engineering in life. I mean, that doesn't mean you can do everything that way, but you really want to think about what will make you feel good when you get older about your life. And you at least generally want to keep going in that direction. And, you know, you need some luck in life, and you've got to accept some bad things that are going to happen as you go along. But life has been awfully good to me and Charlie, so we have no complaints.
