富翁面对面--比尔盖茨和巴菲特对话
富翁面对面比尔盖茨和巴菲特1 请问您如何在您的企业体里灌输您的道德领导概念，而一开始时您如何知道您的下一阶的管理会做出与您并行的决策？巴菲特：我们想赚很多的钱但我们经得起亏损但我们不能让商誉受损一点都不行所以我要求我的经理们去评估他们的每一个决策不仅是在合法性上当然这是第一道关卡同时也要评估我所谓的新闻舆论关卡如果他们知道第二天会见报而是出自一个精明但不友善的记者之笔他们的亲朋好友邻居会看到那他们的感受如何---如果能通过这道关卡那就没问题我告诉他们只要触碰到边缘那就别做他们想知道什么随时可以和我联络那如果他们联络我那可能就有些问题了盖茨：在微软我们的最高管理团队他们大多都是一拿到学位不论是什么学位就加入我们我们现在的事业在许多方面都是很简单的就是写出超棒的软体程序我们每年都会观察人们所关心的许多东西我们产品都有极高的市场占有率我们的生意遍布全球所以有些特别的规定你如何跟供应商合作他们可能有的才华但是主要的是看这些人的决策会使我们对他们的作为有信心2我想请教盖茨先生你已经加入了波克夏哈萨威公司的董事会你可考虑在巴菲特先生退休后接任他的职位？盖茨：能加入波克夏哈萨威公司是我很大的荣耀我得说这不是非常有利可图的我的董事酬劳甚至不够支付来这里的机票呵呵（每年900美金）但波克夏公司的构架是非常独特的跟我的事业经验是截然不同的我的事业都跟软体有关所以我希望能找个很好的顾问以便确定波克夏能完整的传承但继承者不会是我波克夏有很多杰出的人才他们了解波克夏的特殊架构系统会秉持的走下去巴菲特：我们每年支付盖茨900美金我也希望能多制服他一些可是在福布斯排行榜上他的财富超出我很多呵呵--- 严格地说我们非常幸运想用任何代价想让盖茨加入董事会的人比比皆是而他加入波克夏真是情义之举这花了不少时间如果有利可图那就很自然了但能让他加入我们年龄相仿让我开心不已哈哈---（巴菲特1930年出生盖茨1955年出生）当然我比较老我只是想说明第二天早上当我不再时还有兼具特质和经验的人做出某个决策这使我真的很开心所以我非常感激3 可否告知您的每日职场工作你如何安排时间去打电玩---等等（最后一战2是销售最快的电玩首日业绩是1.25亿美金盖茨：我不常打电玩坦白说我和同时对打一下就被干掉了真不可思议我玩世界街头赛车还好一点能把游戏当作一个认真的追求和思考这种工作还真不赖能在最新科技中找乐子不论是新的个人电脑检视新软体或是和研究人员一起讨论就是我认为我的工作棒到不行的原因华伦认为他的工作是最棒的我的会议很多日历上行程满满的到了晚上小孩睡觉以后我还要回复很多电子邮件周末时我也会发很多电子邮件我一年会花两个星期远离工作和其他杂事来阅读和思考思考未来然后我会旅行拜访欧洲和亚洲的客户这也会帮助我思考我们的优先次序正确么人们的反应是如何的？他们希望我们改良的是什么？巴菲特：我一年大概有50个思考周呵呵只有两周工作你对我的日子会感到惊讶的他们是非常的松散没有会议一个也没有我不喜欢开会我阅读的时间很长但我希望我能一目十行阅读更多但我真的阅读很多通电话的次数适中我们的生意基本上是本身在运作我的工作是分配资金我思考的就是这个*我不喜欢把事情一个接着一个比尔和我都是幸运到不行我们都能把想做的事按照自己的方式来完成找到我们选择的人他们都非常杰出我们真的是心想事成非常幸运在他的世界里他的步调和我不同但我们都喜欢我们采用的方式我想我们也可以以这特定的模式来达到最大的产值因为它符合我们的个性和习性4 我的问题是在XBOX360之后你看电玩的走向是什么？盖茨：XBOX360是个很棒的东西（前90天销售业绩超过10亿美金）呵呵他是我们所谓的第一代高解析电玩里面你看到的真实场景就几乎和实景是一样的而更主要的是我们希望游戏更具联谊性就是所谓的“活动力”概念你朋友可以上线和你一起玩旁观者也可以观战可以比赛能成为全面盛行的活动我们认为能借由各种不同的游戏能把男女老少全部吸引进来如今每隔4-5年就会有款新游戏问世所以XBOX360之后我不知道该叫他什么你只要继续研发虚拟场景达到完美状态这就像是改进镭射唱片一样有许多方法把声音编码成比光碟更高的解析度但是人们却分不出差别所以有许多这样的方式就会回到游戏研发者的创意中我们会开始加入摄像机和声音辨别系统你就可以用声音控制而不是游戏操控器你可以用棒球棒或高尔夫球杆我们的摄像机会拍下你的举动这就变成更接近虚拟实景而不只是反映动作然后去回应动作5 如果两位掉了100元大钞是会自己捡起来还是会让像我们这样的晚辈得到？巴菲特：如果他走的时候掉了一毛钱他不捡起来我就会捡（巴菲特的汽车牌照上写着---节俭！）接着华伦巴菲特和盖茨要给学生们世界级的建言6 请问你们得到最好的建言是什么？它又是如何影响你们的私人生活或职业生涯呢？巴菲特：盖茨我对你印象最深的是哪些话？盖茨：我可以回答这个问题呵呵第一次遇到华伦时就谈论到要再相聚并合作些事他拿出他的记事本里面几乎全是空白的我说哇你把无意义的行程全部排除了华伦说对你得很会说“不”而去学习真正不同凡响的事物而这是我跟华伦学到的很多东西之一但也是我最欣赏的所以我每次说“不”我都可以怪他呵呵巴菲特：我老爸（是位投资银行家）给了我很多很棒的建言但他不会替我安排从他那里学到他从不会要你这样做那样做但我认为他是真的教了我（你内心的评估远比外在的评估重要！）有些人会每天陷入思考之中等时过境迁之后他会觉得空虚7 我想知道我们都公认2位是财务专家我们都敬仰病追随你们但当你们需要建言时或对你们的构想和决定的回应时你们会去找谁？巴菲特：通常我会看着镜子这是很诚实的回答呵呵我做事的本质就是我都是独立的思考因为如果我做民调就效果而言我是要做跟别人一样的东西我在投资时通常不这么做所以我需要环境和个性来为我自己思考我有个杰出的搭档他叫查理马克（他没有学士学位而被哈佛法学院录取）他的聪明才智优质出众但我们许多想法都一样我们偶尔也会谈论但不会反复的谈论因为我们了解彼此的想法他教了我很多如果我需要木料来做决定，那我就不需要主持这个不需要我负责的地方我只是不愿意付诸于投票表决因为我看过太多了在投资世界里当你变得越来越壮大时这些决定就越来越平均分布我不认为你可以从一个大的委员会中得到高明的投资决策盖茨：逆向思考很幸运我遇到了史蒂夫鲍尔默他是个很注重商业思考的人我则偏重于科技思考但多年来我们都了解彼此的想法彼此要说的是什么所以在我们预期的地位上彼此都会给彼此出难题除此之外我遇到真正棘手的决定我回去跟我老爸和华伦谈也会跟我太太玛琳达谈我有足够了解我的人他们真的知道我的判断是否是最棒的我是否对某些事情兴奋过头了或是忘记考虑某些东西所以他们对纠正事情很厉害尤其是玛琳达任何盲点她都能找出来我认为去鼓励朋友和建言者给他们真正的授权这是很有用的当你在关键事情上有一小群人去请教这是个太棒的资产巴菲特：我公司有40个经理我真的鼓励他们采取同样的做法他们知道如何经营他们的事业他们也会犯错但基本上都是他们自己做主而不必和我们讨论我们在这方面的授权制度效果真的太棒了（波克夏1965年投资1000元今天市值550万美金）我们把赌注放在脑力和那些精力充沛才智过人并为人正直的人们身上他们大多数的决定都是正确的如果我们透过层层的委员会来观察检讨他们那我们将损失惨重8 两位都有一些经历为你们工作我想知道对一个进入职场的新人来说有哪些步骤可以加速他们向高层管理进阶？巴菲特：你的行为你的精力你的承诺做事情的品质他如何对待身边的人——等等这一切但你可以表现得比你预期的更多其中一项你必须得做到的是不论你喜欢与否，必须信心十足（巴菲特1951年上过卡内基的演讲课程）这是你可以使用5.6十年的资产如果你不喜欢或缺乏自信那将是你的负债同样也会跟着你5-6十年但许多技巧都是人性的技巧如果你能聚集最佳的人才那就真的是罕见的奇葩这和智商是无关的这跟迎向世界迎向他人的态度是有关你要激发出人们的精华而不是证明自己有多棒那你将获利无穷盖茨：当然在微软每个员工都有机会晋升可能因为策略很好但大多是撰写软体上可能因为他们的领导才能可能因为个人贡献很好我们想要给这些方面杰出的人建立出创造前途的管道什么是理想人才坦白说就是一个在这3方面都杰出的人才但通常这样的人很少大多是拿别人的优点来弥补自己这方面的缺陷越是高层越需要高超的独立思考技巧能带领你的员工有高超的策略合作就是为了弥补缺陷让别人来帮助你做你做不到的事情如果我们能找到更多这样的人才那就太棒了9 当你开始创业的时候你认为什么东西对你的成功造成了很大的冲击？该要养成什么习惯？你对我们这些年轻人要传授些什么呢？巴菲特：你所敬仰的人将会建立你的下半生所希望的人生愿景我给大家两个建议我尽可能的投资自己到目前为止你是你最大的资产你有所有的潜力但大多数人都只是开发了一点点的潜力所以你做到的每件事情都投资到自己这就是你最好的投资然后我会顺着我的热忱凡是能引起你兴趣的我发现我很幸运很早就找到自己最感兴趣的事业但你不会只是愿意为钱去工作你不会为你不喜欢的公司工作或者为你不喜欢的人工作你真的想每天一下床就兴奋不已所谓去工作我的第一份工作根本没有问工资因为我知道我做的是对的工作所以我会顺着你们的热情10 商业全球化对小生意会有影响么？巴菲特：我不认为会对小生意产生影响如果你从事的是纺织品鞋业或家具业那你的制造成本会随着全球变化而受到影响盖茨：全球化的追踪是很重要的因为他改变了游戏规则他不会直接影响到你的小生意因为你在本地所做的是非常不同的产品就是说在遥远的地方没有人能做和你一样的产品全球化最大的改变就是在中国在如何使产值增加而更有效率上他们比我们更资本主义所以我认为很重要的事不论是什么行业要把中国视为改变的原动力去思考全球化去思考这些对你所属公司的机会的间接影响我认为这是非常重要的11 我想知道你们成功背后做的最糟糕的投资是什么？巴菲特：我所做的最糟糕的投资么？你有多少时间听？呵呵——我的确有过一些惨痛的投资但我真的不在意可能使股东产生困扰但这是另外一码事（巴菲特11岁38美元买了第一只股票40美元卖出，该股票不久就涨到200美元）一生中总会犯错的这毫无疑问但绝不愿意发生在重大决定上比如结婚对象之类一生中总在犯错所以我做过这么多生意和投资的决定我不可能不犯错我也许只能将错误降到最低我一点都不会放在心上我不会去回顾最大的错误就是没有呈现的错误是疏忽所造成而不是授权我们从没在单一投资上有过很多损失而是我知道该怎么做但却没有去做我们就因为这样而损失约百亿美金我当时没买微软并不是放弃这个机会是因为我了解的不足以让我做出这个决定也有我了解充分而作出的投资决定为了某些理由我没有投资或者只做少量投资基本上我该开支票时却在咬着大拇指呵呵一生中的获利只是一部分的获利因为你知道不是每件事都会成功（有次巴菲特经理报告损失36亿美金巴菲特却说：我们都会犯错）我决不会让错误是我心神不宁我知道很多人会对错误懊恼不已这是不值得的明天又是新的一天你要往前迈进去做新的事盖茨：就我而言最大的错误就是我们错失了即将问世的某项广大商机5年前我们就该进入网络电视领域可是现在才进入我对这件事情毫不在意有些事情像是了解方向-像是网络搜索会盛行好那我们就做（盖茨没想到GOOLE的成功）我们现在正在小小的追赶我们稍微加些班来解决这个小问题人们有点低估我们能超前的能力我们有过很多这种状况当网际网路问世并造成今天如此盛行时我们就得全力促使公司进入这个领域盖茨：我喜欢看桥牌指南喜欢做思考的事情12 我们很多人都追求更高的教育因为我们想把世界变得更好你们能影响无数的人的构思你们是怎么做决定的？巴菲特：你每天都在改变世界如果你的身边只有小孩你每天都在形成他们的世界观所以你就是个老师人一生中最棒的就是和优质的人在一起因为你的行为就会和他们一样而他们也会在你身上学到很多这就是行星系统经有你的行为你会影响到别人成为别人的榜样典范那你就会找到改善世界的方法盖茨：我对这个有个看法是很重要的就是年轻的时候就得到广泛的知识可能显示会有很多条件阻止人们成功但是教育会启发他们的天赋而给他们平等的机会更幸运的是去到不同的地方13 我们的社会或我们这一代所谓的Y世纪面对了许多议题，你认为什么是最重要或最具挑战的议题？身为未来领导者我们该怎么做？才能确定一个更美好的未来？盖茨：我认为公平是很严格的议题如果太失去公平那就会分裂而失去这个国家所代表的互动和机会意识巴菲特：我要说的是我们真的很幸运很多地方拥有同样智慧的人不一定有这么好的机会我认为我们得更加努力不仅去照顾这个国家中运气差的人们更要像盖茨和玛琳达一样走遍世界让人们得到我们社会中所得到的14 盖茨：如果剔除竞争对手那是件很无聊的事情就好象永远只把球打进一个洞，如果需要拥有超能力那最好是一目十行简直棒到不行巴菲特：我因阅读太慢浪费了十年时间15 巴菲特：我实在受不了财富家传的概念美国人也不是这种观念16 请问你们富可敌国对平衡全球经济有什么帮助》？巴菲特：财富其实只是一群人的努力基本上钱要花在能得到最大的利益上，以社会为本并放眼全球而不是国际性或区域性的但是钱还是要绞尽脑汁的去用以改善全球人们的生活例如慈善盖茨：社会资源是有限的一个人赚了5000万就过很奢侈的生活满足其他的欲望他们是在他们的方式上开心而不是用在帮助需要帮助的人身上身为上层社会的人应该有这样的意识17 巴菲特：10年后我还是做和现在一样的事情我热爱我做的事情18 请问你们对成功的定义是什么？你们一生中在非商业中最大的成功是什么？盖茨：在工作以为我最大的成就就是养家巴菲特：如果一个人不管他多老只要他周遭的人喜欢他爱他这就是一种成功。

前522年楚平王杀了伍奢和儿子伍尚。
伍子胥到宋国找到了太子建。
不巧的是他们没找到安身地，伍子胥带着他们到郑国。
想借郑国来推翻楚平王的统治。
郑国不支持，太子建报仇心切，就想推翻郑国国君的统治，结果走漏了消息。
郑国国君抓了太子建并杀了他。
伍子胥想逃到吴国。
要经过楚国的地界。
伍子胥带着公子胜，晚上赶路，一天到了昭关。
只一条路一条河。
城门上挂着他的像通缉他。
伍子胥焦虑紧张，一宿头发全白了。
这是著名的故事。
这些东西毕竟是文学作品的描述。
现实中有没有?我也见过。
两三个月眉毛与胡子都白了。
因为他接到银行通知，说他弟弟欠了巨款，你是担保人。
你弟弟失踪了。
如果不能偿还，要不你坐牢，要不你以房子抵押。
联系到弟弟各种通讯都断了，三年前，弟弟要贷款，必须有担保人。
他没跟家人商量就担保，以自己的住房做了抵押。
眼看着贷款还不上，自己连住房都没了。
太太天天跟他吵，要跟他离婚。
他愁呀，全白了。
情绪剧烈的变化，沉重的精神压力，导致迅速衰老，也说明一个问题。
情绪与健康有着密切的关系。
为什么受惊吓的人会脸色苍白?不仅人类有，动物的情绪反应也是随时可见。
几十年前，我家养了一群鸽子，一天晚上，听到打斗声。
看到母鸽和大花猫打架。
我赶走了猫。
发现鸽子不能动了。
没受伤，怎么不能动了?小鸽才十几天，母鸽会发怒，血涌向翅膀和头部，奋力与老猫搏斗。
保护了子女。
这是“怒则气上”，我给鸽子上点刺，一天刺两次。
巴菲特和盖茨的对话：人生最重要的是专注
巴菲特和盖茨的对话：人生最重要的是专注Buffett: Hi Bill, it's great to see you again. How have you been? Gates: Hi Warren, I've been well, thanks. It's always good to catch up with you. How about you? Are you keeping busy?Buffett: Oh, you know me, always staying busy. I've been thinking a lot about the importance of focus in life lately. I believe it is the key to success.Gates: That's interesting, Warren. I have always admired your ability to stay focused on your investments and make informed decisions. Can you tell me more about why you think focus is so important?Buffett: Of course, Bill. I've found that in order to truly succeed, one must have a clear goal in mind and stay focused on achieving it. Life is full of distractions, and it's easy to get sidetracked. But if you can maintain your focus, you can accomplish almost anything you set your mind to.Gates: I completely agree with you, Warren. In my own experience with Microsoft, I realized that focus was crucial. We would set goals and work relentlessly towards achieving them. It allowed us to create innovative products that transformed the technology industry.Buffett: Exactly, Bill. When you focus your energy, time, and resources on a specific goal or project, you increase your chances of success. It's about quality over quantity, going deep instead ofwide. It is impossible to excel in multiple areas simultaneously, as there is only so much time and effort we can devote.Gates: That's something I've also come to realize. In recent years, I have shifted my focus from day-to-day operations at Microsoft to working on philanthropic projects through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. By narrowing my focus, I have been able to have a greater impact on the areas that matter to me.Buffett: That's fantastic, Bill. Philanthropy is an excellent example of the power of focus. By concentrating our efforts on specific issues or causes, we can create real change and make a lasting difference in the world.Gates: Absolutely. I've learned from you, Warren, that focus is not just about achieving financial success but also about finding purpose and fulfillment in life. It's about identifying what truly matters to you and directing your energy towards it.Buffett: You've hit the nail on the head, Bill. True success is not measured solely by wealth and achievements, but by the impact we have on others and the legacy we leave behind. It's about finding our passion and dedicating ourselves to it, whether it's in business, philanthropy, or personal relationships.Gates: I couldn't agree more, Warren. It's about finding that sense of purpose and channeling our focus towards creating a meaningful and fulfilling life. Letting go of distractions and honing in on what truly matters can lead to a more purposeful existence.Buffett: That's exactly it, Bill. Focus allows us to prioritize our time and energy, making sure we make the most of our limited resources. By staying disciplined and saying "no" to things that do not align with our goals, we can create a life of purpose and significance.Gates: Well said, Warren. Your wisdom and experience are truly inspiring. I will strive to maintain my focus and continue making a positive impact in the world. Thank you for this enlightening conversation.Buffett: You're welcome, Bill. It's always a pleasure to exchange ideas with you. Remember, focus is the key to unlocking our full potential and achieving our dreams. Let's continue to inspire and motivate one another as we journey through life.。
巴菲特与比尔盖茨
巴菲特与比尔盖茨:中国发展激动人心2009-11-18 08:33:52 来源：第一财经美元疲软巴菲特索罗斯寻找新淘金地巴菲特告别风暴阴霾三季度净利大增200%巴菲特豪赌“美国最美好时代”导读：巴菲特和盖茨共同回答了哥伦比亚大学学生有关美国经济体系、金融危机根源以及未来各行业发展前景的提问。
北京时间11月18日消息，据国外媒体报道，上周四(11月12日)美国两大亿万富翁沃伦巴菲特(warren buffett)和比尔盖茨(bill gates)参加了cnbc电视频道在纽约市哥伦比亚大学召开的公开集会。
巴菲特与比尔盖茨在这次名为“使美国继续了不起”(keeping america great)的活动中，巴菲特和盖茨共同回答了哥伦比亚大学学生有关美国经济体系、金融危机根源以及未来各行业发展前景的提问。
盖茨称，自己最看好it、新能源及制药三大产业的发展前景，并表示中国经济发展现状令人激动。
此次活动主持人为哥伦比亚大学商学院的贝基奎克(becky quick)。
以下为巴菲特与盖茨两人接受奎克及哥伦比亚大学学生提问过程的精彩摘要：播音员：巴菲特和盖茨两人凭借自身努力而成为了亿万富翁，这就是“美国梦”的具体化身。
他们一个重新定义了科技产业，另一个为现代型投资者。
他们两人都积极投身于商业和人道主义活动，并借助美国资本市场的传统而有所收获。
时至今日，该传统正受到质疑。
在这种社会转型期，美国年轻人希望向这两位了不起的投资家身上学习经验。
今天巴菲特和盖茨来到了这里，他们两人将同各位分享自己的人生经验。
问：你们两人之所以今晚来到这里，是因为美国当前正处于一个关键发展期。
公众对美国经济及整个资本市场体制存在疑问。
请问你们两人是否对资本市场及当前美国公众的生活方式存在过质疑？巴菲特：没有怀疑过。
如果说有过怀疑，那是去年9月份，当时我们投入了大量资金，但美国经济当时看上去陷入了深渊。
大量资金从货币市场基金撤出，商业票据市场一片沉寂。
与盖茨和巴菲特对话
与盖茨和巴菲特对话盖茨和巴菲特，这对好友是世界上最有钱的两个男人，他们的身家合计超过了900亿美元，其中盖茨身家510亿美元，而巴菲特则略逊一筹，为400亿美元。
盖茨和巴菲特这两个大亨曾与《财富》杂志的记者进行了闲聊，他们聊到了他们的伙伴关系、晚上即将进行的纸牌游戏，还有华尔街的投行经理们对投资者的误导。
这两个男人都在减肥，10月份即将进入知天命之年的盖茨已经通过规律性的长跑减掉了20磅，而75岁的巴菲特战果略差，他参加的是每周三次的个人健身课程，体重减少了12磅。
他们还谈到了他们正在成型的计划，巴菲特甚至说他将在死前就把财产分发出去。
下面的内容就是摘自他们的讨论。
华尔街就靠这个活着《财富》：让我们尽快开始吧，你最近读到的最棒的一本书是什么？巴菲特：《华盛顿邮报》掌门人凯瑟琳•格雷厄姆（Katharine Graham）的自传《个人历史》(P ersonal History)很令人感动，我认为每个人都应该读一读。
盖茨：我喜欢的一本书是关于能源的，名字叫做《无底之井》（The Bottomless Well），另外一本书是雷•库维兹（Ray Kurzweil）写的计算机科学方面的书，我看得是预印本，所以还不确定什么时候出版,主要内容是人工智能。
《财富》：你生活中最大的挥霍是什么?巴菲特：你是说个人开支方面吗?《财富》：是的。
巴菲特：私人飞机。
这是用钱改变我生活方式的唯一方法——NetJetsG4。
（注：巴菲特的波克夏公司全资拥有Net Jets公司）我为它每年花费成百上千万美元，或许更多。
盖茨：挥霍……如果我今晚输掉扑克牌比赛，我将挥霍掉500美元。
巴菲特：这确实算是挥霍了。
盖茨：沃伦和我打赌时总是把赌注定为一美元。
巴菲特：这家伙在俄荷马打电话给我说他的扑克牌游戏，听起来挺有趣吧。
我觉得桥牌是更高层次的游戏，但是扑克牌有许多乐趣。
盖茨：如果我们现在这里有合适的第四个人,我们就可以打桥牌了。
《财富》：当你和你的朋友说“等等，我马上过来玩纸牌，我带来的伙伴是盖茨”时，他们会有什么反应？巴菲特：我们不让别人知道。
CCTV《对话》供稿
（本期《对话》节目将于2010年10月17日晚21：55在C CTV财经频道播出）9月29日下午两点至三点四十五分，比尔盖茨与巴菲特双双现身北京中国大饭店的宴会厅中央电视台财经频道《对话》栏目的录制现场，与主持人、嘉宾、和中国大学生代表进行了长达一小时四十五分钟的近距离交流。
主持人陈伟鸿：好，谢谢大家，也欢迎大家来到我们对话节目的现场。
今天我们要对话的这位嘉宾相信是很多人期待当中的一位嘉宾，因为在他的身上有很多的光环，他也创造了很多无人企及的成就。
这一刻，我们不妨把目光回到1930年8月30号这一天，这是在美国经济大萧条之后的一个普通的日子，在美国中部的一个小镇奥马哈诞生了一个新的生命。
很多人都没有想到，就是这样一个小孩子，若干年以后，靠着100美元起家，在45年的时间当中，创造了4300倍的投资收益的神话，他因而也成为了100年来华尔街最伟大的一个投资大师。
很多人看到他，甚至仅仅是在媒体上看到他的名字的时候，都会情不自禁地问他到底是如何做到这一切？他的名字叫沃伦•巴菲特。
今天我们把他请到了现场，让他在我们的现场为大家解开这个谜团，现在就让我们用掌声请出我们今天《对话》节目的嘉宾，沃伦•巴菲特和他的搭档查理•芒格先生，掌声欢迎。
两位是生意上的好搭档，是生活当中的好朋友，来跟我们中国的观众打打招呼好不好？巴菲特先生，您先来。
主持人陈伟鸿：看来王总已经读懂了我们的心思，我们之所以挑选这样一个不倒翁，的确是要和巴菲特先生以及芒格先生来探究一下，他们之所以成为不倒翁的原因到底是什么？因为在过去的5 0年，我们看到很多原本我们想象都不可能倒闭的一些公司，你比如说雷曼兄弟，比如说AIG等等，他们最终倒闭了，但是我们看到这两位不倒翁如今非常健康，而且还洋溢着青春的光芒，你们不倒的秘密到底是什么？沃伦•巴菲特：我有一个伟大的老师，大约60年前，他交给我一个重要的原则，从那以后我就一直在实践这个原则。
我很幸运，在投资方面我对情绪有很好的掌控力，但是我并没有所谓的投资秘诀。
巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演
巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演（比尔盖茨与巴菲特重返校园演讲）——如何才能成功、谋取职位、实现成功的人生两位世界顶级的亿万富翁——沃伦•巴菲特和比尔•盖茨，他们的成功之路却截然不同。
巴菲特是凭借传统的方法，即投资于实力雄厚的传统行业而赚取了460亿美元的资产，这些行业涵盖了保险、软饮料、家居建材以及鞋类。
而比尔•盖茨则是一位天才式的人物，他通过创建世界上最庞大的软件公司-微软公司，赚得了500亿美元的资产，他的创新产品包括Window视窗系统、office办公软件和XBOX游戏机，虽然有着不同的经历，他们两位都是亲密好友，而且都愿意与美国最有前途的学生进行互动，今天巴菲特邀请比尔盖茨和他一起与内布拉斯加大学工商管理学院的学生们进行一场对话。
巴菲特于1950在此学校获得了学士学位。
“这儿曾有位姑娘让我非常动心，但她却喜欢同那些弹吉他的家伙在一起，于是我也买了琴，也学着弹了，她依然对我无动于衷。
”（巴菲特，旁白）他们两位都为能有机会与未来商家领袖进行深入讨论而兴致勃勃。
主持人：内布拉斯加大学林肯商业学院热烈欢迎沃伦巴菲特和比尔盖茨。
下面是学生们与沃伦巴菲特和比尔盖茨的问答（根据视频录音整理，从他们与同学们的交流中，可以发现巴菲特的诙谐幽默的谈吐）1、问：您好，我叫基姆•马丁（女），我的专业是金融。
我的问题是：您是如何将道德领导贯穿于整个公司，您可以先说说您是如何知道仅次于您的管理层正在做的是与您相同的决策吗？答：沃伦•巴菲特：我们有足够的资金。
当然，我们想赚更多的钱，如果亏损了我们也能承担，但我们无法承担的是声誉受损，哪怕只有一丁点儿，因此，我要求经理们他们的一举一动不仅要根据法律尺度来判断，这是最起码的标准，而且要根据是否经得起报纸曝光的标准来衡量，如果他们知道自己的某个行为将在明天的报纸上登出来，而读者将会是他们的亲朋好友，左邻右舍，文章则是由一位精明，但不太友好的记者所写的，他们会有什么样的感受，如果能够泰然自若，那就没有问题。
巴菲特、盖茨与同学对答录
巴菲特、盖茨与同学对答录地点：内布拉斯加大学林肯工商学院时间：？你会问两位最富有的人什么问题？这两位世上最富有的人截然不同——沃伦·巴菲特的410亿美元财富来自投资稳健传统的公司，这些公司卖保险、汽水、家具和鞋等基本产品。
而比尔·盖茨这位现代天才创造了世界最大的软件公司——微软，赚取了5 00亿美元财富，他的最新产品包括视窗、Office和Xbox360。
两人虽然不同但却很亲近，爱与美国最出色的学生交流，今天巴菲特邀请盖茨一同与内布拉斯加大学林肯工商管理学院的学生对话。
巴菲特于1950年在这里取得学士学位。
巴菲特：当时我爱上了一位女郎，她对我全然不理睬，却跟弹夏威夷四弦琴的男子来往。
于是我也学弹夏威夷四弦琴，但她对我仍是不理不睬。
(众笑）两人都有兴趣跟下一代商业领袖进行热烈的讨论，唯一的条件是教职员、父母和记者皆不能发言，只有学生可发问。
学生：A：能跟世上最富有的两个人见面，我们都感到很兴奋。
B：有许多问题要问。
C：我整个星期都在盼望这个时刻。
D：我对能跟他们会面感到兴奋。
主持人：内布拉斯加大学林肯工商管理学院欢迎沃伦·巴菲特和比尔·盖茨。
经商学院挑选的学生准备好发问，他们的问题没经过巴菲特和盖茨过目。
首个问题是商界面对的最困难问题之一。
金玛汀：你们好！我是金融系四年级学生金玛汀，请问你们是如何在你们的机构灌输合乎道德的领导方式的？你们怎么知道你们手下的领导层所作的决定跟你们自己的类似？巴菲特:我们已有足够的金钱，能赚更多固然不错，但失去一些也没什么问题。
我们不能损失的是声誉，声誉一点也不能有所损失。
所以我要求经理们所作的决定不仅要合法，更要以“报章测试”的准则来衡量。
假如他们知道某个行动将由某个不太友善的记者翌日在当地报章上报道，亲友和邻居都会读到，他们会有怎样的感觉？如果能通过这个测试，便没问题，接近不能通过的也应放弃。
此外，他们可随时打电话问我的意见，但如果要找我，大多(决定)会有问题。
从沃伦·巴菲特和比尔·盖茨的对话，领悟我们想要成功需具备什么
从沃伦·巴菲特和比尔·盖茨的对话，领悟我们想要成功需具备什么盖茨：我们到啦？巴菲特：就是这里盖茨：内布拉斯卡州家具市场？内布拉斯卡州家具市场巴菲特：一个传奇盖茨：这一切是如何开始的？巴菲特：这开始于一个女人，她的名字叫罗斯·巴姆普金，她1917年来到美国，89岁的时候她决定出售她的商店，当时有其他一些人对这个店感兴趣，她说：“不，我要卖给巴菲特先生。
”她活到了104岁，她在103岁的时候退休，我真希望巴女士能看到今天这里的样子。
盖茨：是啊，看看做得多么好。
巴菲特：实在令人兴奋1991年7月5日沃伦·巴菲特与比尔·盖茨盖茨：这是1991年7月5日，直到我们见到彼此，我们并不知道为什么要有这次见面？巴菲特：对啊盖茨：我们以为我们的世界不会有任何交集巴菲特：没错盖茨：但论到尝试理解世界如何运行和理解当下的时事，我们发展彼此看待这些问题的方式是如何有吸引力，以至于他们不得不打断我们，我们从那天起成为了亲密的朋友。
沃伦·巴菲特与比尔·盖茨一起试睡巴菲特：我曾经真实的职业目标是做一名床垫试睡员，我觉得那将会是一个非常棒的工作，我每天要做的就是亲自体验睡床垫，但我没能实现这个愿望。
但他们以我的名字命名了一个床垫－－沃伦。
嗯，这就是我的床垫。
盖茨：哎哟不错哦，很舒服巴菲特：你能想像吗？我的意思是以这样的方式度过一生。
盖茨：我觉得这比我睡的床垫更棒巴菲特：我如果能从事这份工作，就不用跟电脑浪费时间了。
盖茨：沃伦，你还记得你买第一个床垫的情形吗？巴菲特：唔，我在家不怎么负责买东西，我其实不记得我买过任何东西。
查一下这个人的信用记录，看看是否良好？想在几乎任何一件事情上成功，都意味着要对它抱有热情。
如果你看到某人对其事业足够的智慧和巨大的热情，还能带动周围人一起向迈进，甚至是甚至是当那些人还无法从下一座山的山顶俯视全貌上，他们总有一天会成功的。
盖茨：建立微软的过程本身就充满了乐趣，因为我们对于软件的判断是对的，所以一切都非常顺利。
比尔盖茨夫妇在2023年斯坦福大学毕业典礼励志演讲稿
比尔盖茨夫妇在2023年斯坦福大学毕业典礼励志演讲稿尊敬的毕业生们，亲爱的家长们，以及斯坦福大学的教职员工们：今天我们很荣幸来到这里，参加这个特别的毕业典礼。
这个典礼同时也是我们夫妇第一次共同上台演讲，我们感到非常兴奋和自豪。
我们的人生道路不同寻常，我们对于工作和生活的看法可能与众不同，但我们想与大家分享的是，无论身处何种境况，我们都在不停地学习和成长，这才让我们的人生变得丰富多彩。
首先，我们想说，失败并不可怕。
很多人在面对失败时会选择放弃，但实际上失败是一种无价的经验。
我们在 Microsoft 公司创办之初，也曾遭遇多次失败，但我们并没有因此消沉或沮丧。
相反，我们越挫越勇，不断寻求新的方法，不断改进。
其次，我们想强调的是，我们的选择和决策会影响到我们的生活轨迹。
我们在人生中所做的每个决定，都不能被视为孤立的事件。
每个选择都是开始一次新的旅程。
有时候，你可能需要放弃一些东西，才能获得更多的成长和幸福。
但只要你相信自己的能力，坚持自己的信念，你就能够克服一切困难。
第三，我们想强调的是，不要让自己受到外界的限制。
很多人因为担心失败或者别人的看法，而自我限制。
值得注意的是，当你把自己的选择和衡量标准交给外部因素时，你的生活很可能会受到无法预料的影响。
相反，当你坚持自己的看法和价值观，你会发现自己的路将变得更加清晰和明确。
第四，我们强调的是，对于个人成长的投资是非常重要的。
人们常常把时间、精力、金钱等投资在固定资产或其他物质上，但对于我们个人的成长和发展，我们需要更多地进行投资。
这可能包括学习新的技能、阅读书籍、参加社区活动等等。
投资于自己的成长，可以为你的未来带来无限机会和可能性。
最后，我们想对今天的毕业生们说，未来充满了可能性和机会。
你们将会遇到许多困难和挑战，但都是为了让你们成为更好的自己。
在这个充满变数和不确定性的时代，只要你们秉持学习、创新、坚持的精神，你们就可以在自己的领域中取得成功。
感谢大家耐心聆听，我们真心祝愿今天的毕业生们前程似锦，未来能够在自己的人生之路上取得辉煌的成就。
盖茨在清华的演讲
发信站: 水木社区 (Thu Apr 19 14:24:23 2007), 站内
4月19日，微软公司董事长比尔·盖茨开始第二天的访华行程。盖茨当日上午在清华大学发表主题为《未来之路：在中国共同创新》的演讲，并接受清华大学颁发的名誉博士学位证书。以下为演讲全文：
尊敬的顾校长，清华大学的老师、同学们：
谢谢大家。
4月19日，微软公司董事长比尔?盖茨先生在接受清华名誉博士学位后，发表了题为“未来之路：在中国共同创新”的演讲。随后，在图灵奖获得者、清华大学教授姚期智教授和微软亚洲研究院沈向洋院长的共同主持下，清华学子与盖茨先生进行了精彩互动。
问：最近有关量子计算的理论和应用正在高速发展。有人认为，这将在信息技术领域引起一场新的革命。那么，微软公司将如何应对这场可能发生的变革？请您谈一下您对计算机未来的一些看法。
总之，我今天非常高兴来到贵校，并在接受我的母校哈佛大学颁给我荣誉博士学位之前就成为清华的荣誉博士。
刚才，我和大家分享了软件领域在未来可能出现的一些突破，以及它们会给企业带来的机会、残疾人和学生提供的帮助。我希望大家都能像我一样乐观：只要可以上网，就能获得平等的受教育机会。
微软公司对于中国市场的专注是长期的。我们对于以学术严谨闻名的贵校有着很高的期望。让我们携手努力，共创信息技术未来的辉煌！
医学界已经开始用软件来管理数据库；
今天的手机已经成为我们的“数字钱包”，可以显示地图，上网查找信息，未来还可以和人交流；
平板电脑的出现，使得在教室可以无线上网，用电脑录音、识别手写的文字。这样，学生无需课本就能实现更有效的学习，老师也可以看到世界各地的优秀教案。
当然，软件的未来还面临很多挑战：如何使得用户更容易掌握？如何实现人工智能？但不管怎样，就计算机科学而言，我们所处的都是最激动人心的时代。
巴菲特与比尔盖茨重返校园
I was just wondering,what would you consider the worst investment you've ever made?The worst investment l ever made?How long do you have?l received an e-mail a couple weeks back from youand it said,if l forward it to 20 people,l'd get ten thousand dollars.l still haven't seen the money yet.My favorite was that they would cover my legal costs for just dollars a month. What do you think is someof the most importantor most challenging socialissues that we face?l think the issues of equityWe got lucky tickets in life.We got tickets that say ''American.We got tickets that say intelligent.'' When is the best piece of advicethat you have ever been given?What did l tell you that impressedyou the most?The world's richest billionaires,Warren Buffett and Bill Gates,give students adviceon how to get a job,how to find success,and how to help change the world. Coming next on''Buffett and Gates-Back to School.''The two wealthiest men in the worldare dramatically different.Warren Buffett earned his 41 billionthe old-fashioned wayby investing in solid old-line companies that sell basic products-insurance, soft drinks,home improvement, and shoes.Bill Gates is the modern geniuswho earned his 50 billionby creating the world's largestsoftware company-Microsoft.His innovative products include Windows Office and XBox 360.ln spite of their differencesthe two men are close friends -and they share a common passion- nteracting with America'sbrightest students.Today, Buffett has invited Gatesto join him in a dialogue with students from the University of Nebraska School of Business Administration.Buffett earned his bachelor'sdegree here in 1950.There was a girl l had a big crush on and she was paying no attention to me. She was going with some guywho played the ukuleleso l though l should learnto play the ukulele.So l got a ukulele and learnedto play it and she still ignored me.Both men relish the opportunityto engage in spirited discussionwith membersof the next generationof business leaders.The one condition they placedon this event is that no faculty,staff, parents or reporterswill be allowed to talk.Only students will ask the questions.We are all pretty excited -just to have the opportunity to meetwith the two richest people in the world There's a lot of questions.l've been waiting for this all week.l'm pumped.l'm excited to see them as people.Got it? Terrific.This will be great.Please give a warmUniversity of Nebraska Lincoln College of Business Administration welcometo Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.As the men take their seats,students selected by the facultyof the business collegeare ready with questions that have not been sharedwith either Buffett or Gates.The students begin with one ofthe most difficult questionsfacing business today.Hello.My name's Kim Martin.l'm a Finance Major hereat the University.My question is:How do you instill ethical leadership throughout your organizationand to begin with,how do you know that the management, one level below you,is making decisionsthat would parallel your own?Warren BuffettCEO Berkshire Hathaway,Inc.We have all the money we need. Warren BuffettCEO Berkshire Hathaway,Inc.You know, we'd like to have more, Warren BuffettCEO Berkshire Hathaway,Inc.but we can afford to lose money.But we can't afford to lose reputation. Not a shred of reputation.And therefore, l ask the managers.l ask them to judge every actionthey takenot just by legal standards,although obviouslythat's the first test.But also, by the test whatl call the newspaper test.How would they feel aboutany given actionif they knew it was to bewritten up the next dayin their local paper to be readby their family,by their friends,by their neighbors,written by a smart,but kind of unfriendly reporter.And if it passes that test, it's okay.And l tell them if anythingis close to the lines, it's out.And they can always call meif they wanted to check something.But if they call me, there's somethingwrong with it probably anyway.And that's about it.ln Microsoft's case our topmanagement team,BiII GatesChairman Microsoft Corporationln Microsoft's case our topBiII GatesChairman Microsoft Corporationthe majority of them joined us a rightthe majority of them joined us a rightafter whatever degree they got, if any.Now our business in many waysis kind of simple.lt's about writing great software.We sit down every year to gothrough the various thingsthat people have to be careful about.We have productsthat have high market share.We do business all over the world.So there's some particular dictates,how you work with suppliers,gifts they might come forward with.But it's mainly seeing these peoplein actionthat make us confidentabout their behavior.l should mention that l amthe only college grad up here.Gates dropped out of Harvard aftertwo years.Gates dropped out of Harvard aftertwo years. Yeah, l'll be taking my Harvardshirt off pretty soonGates dropped out of Harvard aftertwo years.cause l didn't complete the wholecourse so l didn't think l should leavecause l didn't complete the wholecourse so l didn't think l should leaveBuffett appIied to Harvard but was turned down. cause l didn't complete the wholecourse so l didn't think l should leaveBuffett appIied to Harvard but was turned down.But they don't allow you to wear itjust half the day,Buffett appIied to Harvard but was turned down.as l understand it.Hi.l'm Tara Steinbach and also aSenior Finance major at the University.And this is for Mr. Gates.Since you joined the Boardat Berkshire Hathaway,have you considered possibly taking overfor Mr. Buffett when he retires?Gates was eIected to the Berkshire board in 2004. Gates was eIected to the Berkshire board in 2004.l'm gonna take notes on this oneif you don't mind.Yah, this being on the Berkshire Boardis a real honor for meand l just joined the Boardlast December.l have to say it's notvery remunerative.l couldn't even make the flight out hereon my on my Berkshire director's fee.Berkshire board members are paid $900 per year.l couldn't even make the flight out hereon my on my Berkshire director's fee.Berkshire board members are paid $900 per year.l didn't hear that part.Microsoft board members are paid $200,000 per year. Microsoft board members are paid $200,000 per year. But Berkshire's been organizedin a very unique wayBut Berkshire's been organizedin a very unique wayand of course very differentfrom my business experience,which is all really related to softwareand what goes on there.So l'm looking forward to beinga good advisor.Making sure that Berkshire'sgrooming peoplefor whatever succession eventuallyhas to take place,but it won't be me.Berkshire's got a lot of great peopleand they understand the unique system there and will step up to it.We pay our board, our directors$900 dollars a yearand l really would like topay them more,but Bill's so far ahead of meon that Forbe's list already,Gates is worth $50 biIIionBuffett is worth $42 biIIion.l don't want to give him any ammunition. Gates is worth $50 biIIionBuffett is worth $42 biIIion.Gates is worth $50 biIIionBuffett is worth $42 biIIion.Seriously, we're very, very lucky. Seriously, we're very, very lucky.l mean, there are people that would pay anything to have Bill on their board.And you know,it's a real act of friendshipthat he has come on the Berkshire Board. lt takes a lot of time and you know,if the rewards are there,they're only psychic.But to have him there, you know,Buffett was born in 1930.Gates was born in 1955.and the small difference in our ages,Buffett was born in 1930.Gates was born in 1955.Buffett was born in 1930.Gates was born in 1955.l'm the older actually.l'm the older actually.l am just explaining.lt makes me feel very good to know thatl've got people both of the qualityand the experience and everything elseto make that decisionwhen l'm not there the next morning,so l'm very grateful.Thank you.Here it comes.Bring out his high school.Gates attended SeattIe's Lakeside High SchooI with PauI AIIen.l'm Brian Poppe.l'm a Junior Actuarial Science Major.My question for you is how did youtwo meet the first time?ls there like some sort of billionaire's conference that l don't know about?Yeah, we have these things,but we don't talk about them.No, l met Bill on July 5th, 1991 .And l was out in Washingtonas a guest of a friend of minewho was an editorial page editorof the Washington Postand she knew Bill's parentsand said we're going downto this place on the Hood Canalto meet them-the senior Gatesand Bill may show up.And l'll let Bill take it from there.Well, it was a fun event because my momwas very sociable and always,Mary Gates was a SeattIe schooI teacher.you know, getting people together.Mary Gates was a SeattIe schooI teacher.And l, at this time, didn't believein vacations.You know, l was totally focusedon my job.And so when she said to meyou've got to come outand meet with Warrenand Katharine Graham...and a couple of other people,l said, Mom, l'm busy.And you know, and she said,no this will be great.And l thought, well,l'm not sure, you know,l'm into this software thing andl didn't know much about investing. And l hadn't thought about it much,but l went out.And so Warren and l met andl'd actually come out in a helicopter,l was planning to go backa few hours later.But then, by the end of the dayl was there,you know, just talking to Warren.And so it began an unbelievable friendship for me and you know,l can tell that even though we came from different directions,the kinds of things that fascinated us and that we thought were important were very much the same.And so you know, for the last 1 4 years we found every excuse possibleto get together whether it's, you know, bridge or golf,but really it's about talkingabout the worldand thinking about what's goingon that's at the core of it.The moral of that is -listen to your mother.Hi. l'm Mark Schmitz.l'm a Senior Actuarial Science Major. Can you tell us a little bitabout your work-typical work dayand how you manage your timeto play Halo 2 ....and that kind of stuff.HaIo 2 became the worId's fastest seIIing video game grossing $125 miIIion in its first day.Well, l don't get to play much Halo 2.HaIo 2 became the worId's fastest seIIing video game grossing $125 miIIion in its first day.HaIo 2 became the worId's fastest seIIing video game grossing $125 miIIion in its first day.l have to say when l playHaIo 2 became the worId's fastest seIIing video game grossing $125 miIIion in its first day.l get slaughtered so fast,l get slaughtered so fast,it's unbelievable -when l'm on XBOX Live.l'm a little betterat Project Gotham Racing.You know, it's nice to have a jobwhere gaming this a serious pursuitwhen you get to think about thatand talk about that.That's what he says.And playing around with the latesttechnology whether it's,you know, new PCs,looking at new software,sitting down with researchers.lt's why l think my job is the best.Warren thinks his is the best,but l'm sure l'm right.Anyway, l'm in meetings a lot.My calendar gets very full with those.And then at night,after the kids have gone to bed,l'm on email a great deal.l get messages during the day.That's my chance to givelong responses.And then over the weekend,l send a lot of mail as well.l take two weeks a year to just go offand read and think where l'm notinterrupted by work or anything else Twice a year Gates goes into secIusion to read more than 100 idea papers.and l'm just solidly trying to thinkTwice a year Gates goes into secIusion to read more than 100 idea papers.and people get to send me things Twice a year Gates goes into secIusion to read more than 100 idea papers.of that so-called ''Think Week.''So it's a nice mix of things.About 25 per cent of the time,then l'm out traveling around meeting with customers-Europe,Asia, and that sort of helps me think, okay do we have the right priorities? What are people responding well to? And what would they like to see usdo better?l'm on ''Think Week''about 50 weeks a year.l work about two.And you'd be surprised at my days.l mean they are-theyare very unstructured.No meetings.None. l mean, l don't like meetings.And l read a lot.But l wish l were a faster readerand l'd you know get more done,but l do read a lot and l'mon the phone a moderate amount.Our businesses run themselves basically out there.My job is allocating capital andthat's what l'm thinking about.But l don't like to have thingsall packed hour to hour to hour.Bill and l are bothextraordinarily lucky.l mean we really get to do what welike to do the way we want to do it,with people that we choose to be around and they're terrific.l mean we've really goteverything our way.And we're very fortunate.And in his world, he has a differentkind of pace than l have,but we both love it the way we do itand my guess is that we'reeach the most productivein that particular mode too cause itfits our personalities and aptitudes.My name's Topher Vorhiesand l'm a Senior Finance Major.My question is after the X 360.where do you see video games going?Well XBOX 360's pretty good stuff.lt's sort of the first of a generationof what we call high-definition gamesXBox 360 saIes were over $1 biIIion in its first 90 days. lt's sort of the first of a generationof what we call high-definition gamesXBox 360 saIes were over $1 biIIion in its first 90 days. where the realistic vision that you getis almost like reality.where the realistic vision that you getis almost like reality.The other big thing is,we want gaming to be more socialso this idea of ''LlVE,''where your friends can get on,can have spectators and contestsand make it into a very social activity.But we think we can drawin people who are older,people who are younger,more women into it by having morevariety of these game types.Now every four or five years,there'll be a new game.So after Xbox 360l don't what we'll call it...720 or something obvious like that.You only have to go out much furtheruntil the visual realism is so goodthat it's like trying toimprove a CD audio.You know,there are ways encoding audio withmore resolution than a compact disk.But people can't tell the difference.So a lot of it will come back tothe creativity of those game developers.We will start to have camerasand speech recognitionso you'll be able to talk to the gameinstead of just using the triggers.You'll be able to take,you know, a bat or a golf club,and our camera will watchwhat you're doingand so it'll be a bit more likethe virtual reality thingin terms of reactingand then its seeing exactlyhow to respond to that.Hello, l'm Pamela Bracey,l'm a Senior Marketing Majorat the University.lf you guys decided to drop a $100 billwould you bother to go backand pick it up?Or would you let a lowly college studentlike myself go get it?lf he drops ten cents on the flooras he's walking outBuffett has Iicense pIates that say ''THRIFTY'' and he doesn't pick it up,l'll pick it up.Buffett has Iicense pIates that say ''THRIFTY'' Next, Warren Buffett and Bill Gatesgive world class advice to studentsabout good habits,making mistakes, and keeping theirinner scorecard in check.Hi. My name is Nicole Brockhoftand l am a Senior BusinessAdministration Majorhere at the University.And l was just wondering whatis the best pieceof advice you'd ever been givenand how has it impacted your personalor professional lives?What did l tell you that impressedyou the most?Actually, l can answer that.When first l met Warren,we were talking about a getting togetherand doing something again.Well he pulled out his calendarand the pages were so blankand l said, wow, you know,you've managed to avoid gettingtied intoa lot of kind of meaningless activity.And you know, Warren said,yeah you have to be good at saying ''no''and picking the things that reallymake a difference.And that's one of many thingsl've learned from Warren,but that's one of my favoritesand so l can blame it on him wheneverl'm turning things down.Well actually, l told him the truth isl don't get invited anyplace.l think that l got an awful lot ofgood advice from my dad.Buffett's fatherwas an investment banker.And he didn't lay it on me.Buffett's fatherwas an investment banker.l mean he just, you know, you picked itfrom him,l mean he just, you know, you picked itfrom him,He was aIso a U.S Congressman from Nebraska. but there was never any of this,you know,He was aIso a U.S Congressman from Nebraska. do this, do that type of thing at all,He was aIso a U.S Congressman from Nebraska. but l think he really taught methat it's more importantbut l think he really taught methat it's more importantin terms of what's on your innerscorecard than your outer scorecard.Some people get in the positionwhere they-they're thinking all of the time,but what the world's going to thinkof this or thatinstead of what they themselvesthink about it.lf your inner scorecard,if you're comfortable with that,l think you're goingto have a pretty happy life.And l think the people that strivetoo much for the outer scorecardsometimes find it it's a little hollowwhen they get all through.l'm Mary Reiser.l'm an Accounting Major.l'd like to know we all consider youto be the financial business expertsand we look to you and follow your lead.But when you need advice and feedbackabout an idea or a decision,l'd like to know who do you go to?Well, usually l look in the mirror,to be perfectly honest.The nature of what l do means l have tothink pretty much independentlybecause if l take a poll,in effect,l'm going to do whatever everybodyelse is doingand l don't think much of that usuallyin investmentand so l have to have an environment.and l have to have the temperamentpersonally that lets me think for myselfAnd l've got a terrific partner,a fellow named Charley Munger,CharIie Mungerwas accepted into Harvard Law SchooI without a bacheIor's degree.and you can't find anybody any smarter,CharIie Mungerwas accepted into Harvard Law SchooI without a bacheIor's degree.any better quality at anything,any better quality at anything,but we think a lot alike.And we do talk things over occasionally,but we don't talk them over very oftenbecause l know how he thinks.He knows how l think.He's taught me a lot,you know, and why should l pay fora phone callif l know what he's going to say.So, if l need to get a cabinet aroundto make decisions or anything like that,l probably shouldn't be runningthe place,that doesn't bother me to havethe responsibility for it,but l just don't want to put it up。
盖茨哈佛演讲译文
盖茨哈佛演讲译文校长博克，前任校长鲁登斯坦，接任校长福斯特，校董事会的各位董事，校务监视委员会的各位委员，各位教员，各位家长，特别是，诸位毕业生：I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree."我不时等了三十多年，如今终于可以说了：〝爸，我老跟你说，我会回来拿到我的学位的！〞I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.感谢哈佛及时地给我这个荣誉。
明年，我就要换任务〔译者注：从微软公司退休〕……我终于可以在简历上写我有一个大学学历，这真是不错啊。
I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me "Harvard’s most successful dropout." I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who failed.我为在座的各位毕业生而鼓掌，你们拿到学位可比我轻松多了。
而我，之所以快乐，是由于哈佛的校报称我是〝哈佛大学历史上最成功的停先生〞。
我想这大约使我有资历代表我这一类特殊的先生在此致辞——在一切的失败者中，我做得最好。
盖茨与巴菲特的对话
盖茨与巴菲特的对话巴菲特和比尔・盖茨在华盛顿大学商学院的公开对话《财富》杂志曾经刊登了美国微软公司董事长比尔・盖茨和美国著名投资家伯克夏・哈萨威公司（Berkshire Hath away）总裁沃伦・巴菲特的一次公开对话。
这是一次面对350名华盛顿大学商学院学生别开生面的公开对话。
这两名被称为“太阳系最富有的实业家”的富豪就冒风险、人才使用、公司管理、经营战略、挑选接班人、还财富于民、中国之行等问题进行了生动的讨论，并回答了听众的现场提问。
对话充满了幽默感和哲理，显示了两人取得事业上巨大成就的非凡能力和智慧。
两位富豪的对话非常吸引人，因为他们都是世界首屈一指的大富豪。
美国《福布斯》杂志最近公布的全球200名亿万富翁中，比尔・盖茨连续4年名列榜首，沃伦・巴菲特列第三。
此次对话中，两位亿万富翁除了让350名学生参加了这次对话外，还特别邀请公共广播公司和《财富》杂志采访报道这项活动。
现根据《财富》杂志电子版刊登的对话原文摘译如下。
比上帝还富有的人问：你们是如何走到现在这一步，成为比上帝还富有的人的？巴菲特：我怎样走到这一步说起来也很简单。
我的成功并非源于高智商，我相信你们听到这一点一定很高兴。
我认为最重要的是理性。
我总是把智慧和才能看做是发动机的马力，但是输出功率，也就是发动机的工作效率则取决于理性。
那么，为什么一些聪明人在做事情的时候却不能获得他们应得到的结果呢？这涉及习惯、性格和气质等方面因素，涉及行为是否合乎理性，是不是自己在妨碍自己。
就如我说过的，这里每一个人都完全有能力做我所做的任何事情，甚至做比我多得多的事情。
因此，我给你们提一个小小的建议：选择一个你最钦佩的人，把你钦佩他的原因写下来。
你不要把自己的名字写在里面。
然后，写下那个你最讨厌的人的名字，写下那个人身上使你拒其于千里之外的那些品质。
我建议你们观察一下你们所钦佩的人的行为，使这种行为成为你们自己的习惯；你们也要观察一下那些别人身上应受到斥责的东西，并下决心不犯同样的毛病。

巴菲特：与比尔盖茨在华盛顿大学商学院的对话（1998）（附解读）《财富》杂志曾经刊登了1998年美国微软公司董事长比尔·盖茨和美国著名投资家伯克希尔哈撒韦（Berkshire Hathaway）总裁沃伦·巴菲特的一次公开对话。
这是一次面对350名华盛顿大学商学院学生别开生面的公开对话。

现“成功与智商无关，关键在于理智”Q1：你们是如何走到现在这一步的，成为比上帝还富有的人？巴菲特：就我而言，答案非常简单，成功与智商无关，关键在于理智。
我一向将智商和天才看作汽车的马力，而最后输出功率的大小则取决于理智。
许多人开着 400马力的汽车却只发挥出100马力的功率。
“最佳状态”应该是：200马力的车百分之百地发挥出 200马力的功率。
首先，不要自己给自己设置障碍。
我有一个小小的建议：先选择一个你最崇拜的人，并写出你崇拜的原因及他身上的优点；然后再选出你最厌恶的人，并写出使你厌恶的地方。
只要经过一段实践，你所崇拜的对象的优点就会渐渐地成为你自己的，假以时日，就会全部成为你自己的了。
盖茨：我非常赞同巴菲特刚才对于习惯的一番高论。
幸运的是，我在很小的时候就接触到了计算机，这大概就是我成功的缘由及秘密所在。
尽管当时计算机非常昂贵，功能开发也有限，但还是令人神往。

导语:2009年11月12日周四,沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)和比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)参加了CNBC电视频道在纽约哥伦比亚大学召开的主题为“让美国继续伟大”(Keeping America Great)的公开集会。
他们回答了学生们关于美国经济体系、金融危机根源以及未来行业发展前景的提问。
来自哥伦比亚大学商学院的贝基·奎克(BECKY QUICK)主持了此次活动。
以下为问答摘要:主持人:你们两位今晚来到这里,是因为当前是美国历史的一个关键时刻。
民众对美国经济以及整个美国资本主义体制存在着疑问。
在过去一年,是否有那么一个时刻,你们两位曾经对资本主义以及我们的生活方式存在过质疑？巴菲特:不,我没有怀疑过。
如果真有这样的时刻,那该是去年9月,当时我们曾向经济投入了大量资金,当时美国看起来陷入了深渊。
资金大量撤出货币市场基金。
商业票据市场陷入绝境,一切都面临崩溃。
我们投入了80亿美元,但只够维持几天的运转。
但我从来没有对经济体系失去信心。
美国依然运转着,我们的资本主义体系已经有200多年历史,其还会继续前行。
盖茨:我们拥有一个复杂的金融体系,事实已经证明我们会犯错误。
但在这些状况的背后,更为根本的因素是创新,你可以创建新的公司,人们愿意承担风险和投资,伟大的科学不断发展。
这个国家仍然拥有最好的大学,最好的科学,我们将对资本主义体系作出微调。
当然, 我们会吸取教训,不能用大量的短期贷款应对长期需求,不能承担过高的杠杆。
但美国资本主义体系的基本面是持续的,这个体系是市场推动的,我们着眼于长远而投资教育和诸多基础设施。
此外,我认为,在去年秋天情况最为糟糕的时刻,美国也诞生了一些发明创新。
巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演-English
S: I was just wondering what is…what would you consider to be the worst investment you’ve ever made?B: The worst investment I’ve ever made? How long do you hav e?S: I received an email a couple of weeks back from you and it s aid if I forwarded it to 20 people, I get 10,000 dollars. I still hav en’t seen the money yet.G: My favorite was say they’ll cover my legal costs with just doll ars a month.S: What do you think is the most important most challenging soci al issues that we face?G: I think the issue of equity.B: We got lucky tickets in life. We got a ticket that said America n. We got a ticket that said intelligent.S: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?B: What did I tell you that impressed you the most?旁白：The world’s richest billionaires, Warren Buffett and Bill Gate s, give students advice on how to get a job, how to find success, and how to help change the world. Coming next on, Buffett and Gates Go Back to School.The two richest men in the world are dramatically different. Warr en Buffett earned his 41 billion in the old-fashioned way, by inve sting in solid, old-lined companies that sell basic product: insuran ce, soft drinks, home improvement, and shoes. Bill Gates is a m odern genius who earned his 50 billion by creating the world’s la rgest software company, Microsoft. His innovative product include s Windows, Office and Xbox360. In spite of the differences, the t wo men are close friends and they share a common passion inte racting the American’s brightest students. Today Buffett invited G ates to join him in a dialogue with students from the University o f Nebraska, School of Business Administration. Buffett earned his Bachelor’s degree here in 1950.B: There was a girl I had a big potshot (?). And she was paying no attention to me. She was going with a guy that plays Ukulel e and I thought must be because of Ukulele, so I got Ukulele. S he still ignored me.旁白：Both men relish the opportunity to engage an inspirited di scussion with members of next generation of business leaders. T he one condition they placed on this event is that no faculty, staf f, parents or reporters will be allowed to talk. Only students will ask the questions.S: Well pretty excited just I have the opportunity to meet the two richest people in the world.S: There is a lot of questions.S: I’ve been waiting for this all week.S: I’m feeling part of excited to see these people.B: Got it? Terrific. I hope it look great.主持人：We… Warren, University of Nebraska, Lincoln College of Administration welcome to Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.旁白：As the men take their seats, students selected by the facu lty of the business college are ready with questions that had not been shared with either Buffett or Gates. The students begin with one of the most difficult questions facing business today.S: Hello.B: Hi.S: My name is Kin Martin. I’m a senior finance major here in the university. My question is how do you instill as the core leaders hip throughout your organization and to begin with, how do you k now that the management one level below you is making decisio ns that would parallel with your own?B: We have all the money we need, you know. We’d like to hav e more, but we can afford lose money, but we can’t afford lose r eputation, not a threat to reputation. And, therefore, I asked the managers, I asked them to judge every action they take not just by legal standards, oh absolutely that is the first test, but also by the test what I called “the Newspaper Test”. How would they fe el about any given actions if they knew it was to be written up the next day in a local paper to be read by their family, by their friends, by their neighbors, written by a smart but kind of unfrien dly reporters . And if they passed that test, it’s ok. And I tell the m if anything is close to the line, it’s out. And they can always c all me if they want to check something, but if they call me, there is something wrong with it probably anyway. And that’s about it. G: In Microsoft’s case, our top management team, the majority of them joined us as, right after whatever degree they got it. Now our business is in many way is kind of simple, it’s about writing great software, we sit down every year to go through varied thin gs that people have to be careful about. We have product, have high market chair, we do business all over the world, so there ar e something particular dictates how you work with suppliers give they might comfort with, but it’s mainly seeing these people in ac tion that make us confident about their behavior.B: I should mention that I am the only college graduate up here. G: Yeah, I’ll be taking my Harvard shirt pretty soon ‘cause I didn’t complete the whole course. I don’t think I shouldn’t leave it on the whole time.B: But they don’t allow you to wear more than half the day as I understand, actually.S: Hi. I’m…… I’m also a senior finance major of the university. A nd Mr. Gates, since you joined the board of Berkshire Hathaway,have you considered the possibility of taking over from Mr. Buff ett when he retires?B: I’m gonna take notes on this one.G: Yeah… been on the Berkshire board is real honor for me, an d I just joined the board last December. I have to say it’s not ve ry remunerative. I can’t … couldn’t even make the flight out here on my Berkshire director’s fee.B: I didn’t hear that part.G: But you know, Berkshire’s been organized in a very unique w ay, and, cause very different, for my business experience which i s all really related to soft and going on there. So I’m looking for ward to being a good adviser, making sure that Berkshire’s groo ming people for every succession eventually has to take place. B ut… won’t be me. Berkshire’s got a lot of great people. They un derstand the unique system that I don’t know. I’ll step up to it. B: We pay our board… our directors 900 dollars a year. I really would like to pay them more. But Bill’s so far ahead of me on th at Forbes list already, I don’t want to get … And seriously, we’re very very lucky. I mean there’re people that would pay anything to have Bill on their board, and it’s … a lot of friendship that h e’s come on the Berkshire board. It takes a lot of time. If there’r e rewards there, it’s only psychic. To have him there, you know, the small difference in our ages, makes me feel very good. I’m t he older actually. This expires (?). It makes me feel very good toknow I’ve got people both of quality and experience and everyth ing else to make the decisions when I’m not there the next morn ing. I’m very grateful.S: Thank you.B: Here we come.G: yeah.B: Bring out his high school.S: I’m Brian Poppy, junior Accurate Science Major. My question f or you is how do you two meet the first time? Is there like some sort of billionaire conference that we don’t know about.B: Yeah, we have this, we don’t talk about them. No, I met Bill on 5th July 1991. And I was out in Washington as a guest of a f riend of mine who was an Editorial … at the Washington Post. A nd she knew Bill’s parents, said we’re going down to the place o n Hoodkenell to meet the senior Gates, and Bill may show up. A nd I will let Bill take it from there.G: Well it was a funny event. Because my mom was very sociab le, and always getting people together, I at this time didn’t believ e in vacations, you know, I was totally focused on my job. And s o when she said to me “You gotta come out and meet with War ren, Cathe… and a couple of other people”. I said mom I’m busy. And she knew this would be great, and I said well I’m not sure. I’m into the software thing, and I don’t know any much about in vesting. And I hadn’t thought about it, but I went out. So Warrenand I met, and I actually come out in helicopter planning to go back a few hours later. But then by the end of the day, I was th ere, talk with Warren, and then began a really unbelievable friend ship for me. You know, I could tell that even though we came fr om different directions, the kind of things that fascinated us, we t hought important were very much the same. And you know, the l ast 14 years, we found every excuse possible to get together wh ether you know bridges, golf, but really about talking about the w orld and thinking about what’s going on that’s the core.B: Yeah the moral of that is listen to your mother.S: I’m Mark Smith, senior Accurate Science major. Could you tell us a little about your typical workday? How do you manage you r time for, play games Halo 2 …G: Well, I don’t get to play much Halo 2. I had to say when I g et to play with my colleagues at work, I get slaughtered so fast, it’s unbelievable, when I’m on Xbox Live. Projects and golf and r acing I’m litter better at. Besides, have a job with gaming is a se rious pursuit we get to think about that and…B: That’s what he said.G: You know, in playing around the latest technology, whether it’s new PCs, looking at new software, sitting down with researcher s. It’s why I think my job is the best. Warren thinks his the best. But I’m certain I’m right. Anyway I’m in meetings a lot. My cale ndar gets very full with those and then at night after the kids going to bed, I’m on email, a great deal, I get messages during the day, that’s my chance get long responses. Then over the weeke nd, I sent a lot of mails as well. I take two weeks a year to just go off and read and think when I’m not interrupted by work or anything else, and I’m just so wholly think about the future. Peop le get to send me things to read this part of that so-called ‘think week’. So it’s nice makes up of things. About 25% of the time I’m out traveling around meeting with customers, Europe, Asia. An d that sort of helps me think we’re ok, do we have the right prio rities, what people are responding well to, what would they like u s to do better.B: I’m on ‘think week’ about 50 weeks a year. I work about two. And you’ll be surprised at my days. I mean they are very unstr uctured. No meetings, none, I mean, we don’t like meetings. And I read a lot. I wish I was a faster reader. You know, would like more done. I do read a lot. And I’m on the phone. I monitored them out. Our businesses run themselves basically. And my job i s allocating capital, and that’s what I’m thinking about. But I don’t like to have things all packed hour over hour over hour. Bill and I are extraordinarily lucky, I mean, we will get to do what we lik e to do, the way we want to do it, with people we choose to be around, that’s terrific. I mean we really got everything our way. We are very fortunate. And in his world, he has a different kind of pace than I have. But we both love the way we do it. My guess is each the most productive in that particular mode. It fits our personalities and attitudes.S: My name is …, senior finance major. My question is after the Xbox360, where do you see video games going?B: Well, Xbox360 is a pretty good staff. It’s sort of the first of ge neration we called ‘High Definition Games’, where realistic vision you get is almost like reality. The other thing is we want the ga mes to be more social, so this idea of life where your friend can get on and you can have spectators, and contests, and make it into a very social activity. We think we can draw in people, who are older people, the younger, more women into it by having m ore variety of this game types. Every 4 or 5 years, there will be new games. So after Xbox360, you know, we’ll call it 720 or so mething obviously like that. You don’t have to go out much furth er and tell the visual real, it so good, it’s like try to improve CD audio, there are ways encoding audio with more resolution than a compact disc, but people can’t tell the difference. So a lot will come back to the creativity of those game’s developer. We will h ave cameras and speak recognition. So you’ll be able to talk to t he game, instead of just using the triggers. You’ll be able to take a bat or a golf, and camera will watch what you’re doing, so it will like to be a bit more virtual-reality things, in turns, reacting, a nd it’s seen exactly how to response to that.S: Hi, my name is … I’m a senior marketing major here in the u niversity. And if you guys decided to drop a hundred dollar bill,will you bother going back to pick it up? Or would you let a lowl y college student like myself go get it?B: If he drops ten cents on the floor when he walks out, and he doesn’t pike it up, I’ll pick it up.旁白：Next, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates give world-class advice to the students about good habits, making mistakes, and keepin g their inner score card in check.S: Hi, my name is Nicol Brakar. Tonight I’m a senior business a dministration major here in the university. And I’m just wondering what is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? And h ow has it impacted your personal or professional lives?B: What did I tell you that impressed you the most?G: Actually, I can answer that. First time I met Warren, we were talking about getting together and doing something again. When he pulled out his calendar, and the pages were so blank. And I said “Wow, you know, you managed to avoid getting tied in to a lot of kind of meaningless activities’. And you know, Warren sa id ‘Yeah, you have to be good at saying no, and picking the thin gs that really make a difference’. That’s one of many things I’ve learned from Warren and that’s one of my favorite, and so I can blame it on him when I’m turning things down.B: Actually I told him that the truth is I don’t get invited to any p lace. I think that you know I got an awful lot of good advice fro m my dad, and he didn’t write it on me, I mean, he just, you just picked it up from him, there were never any of this you know do-this-do-that type of things at all, I think he really taught me th at’s more important in turns of what your inner score card than y our outer score card. Some people get in position where they’re thinking all over the time of what the world’s going to thinking of this of that, not what they themselves think about. If your inner score card, if you’re comfortable with that, I think you’re going to have a pretty happy life. I think people describe too much for th e outer score cards. Sometimes find it it’s a little …S: I’m Mary Riser, I’m a counting major. I’d like to know we all c onsider you financial business expert so we look to you and follo w your lead, but when you need advice and feedbacks about an idea or a decision, I’d like to know who do you go to?B: Well, usually I look into the mirror. The nature of what I do m eans I have to think pretty much independently, because if I take a poll, in effect I’m gonna do what everybody else’s doing, I d on’t think much of that usually. So I have to have an environmen t, to have a temper and personality that lets me think for myself. And I’ve got a terrific partner, Charley Monger. You can’t find a nybody that is smarter, any better quality, anything. We think a l ot alike. And we do talk over a case, we don’t talk over them ve ry often, because I know how he thinks, he knows how I think. He’s taught me a lot, you know, and why should I pay for a pho ne call if I know what he is going to say. So if I need to get a captain around to make a decision or anything like that, I probably should be running the place. And that doesn’t bother me to ha ve the responsibility for it, I just don’t want to put it up to a vote,‘cause I’ve seen too many, particularly in investment world, as y ou get larger and larger, groups making decisions they get more and more … and I don’t think you’ll ever get a billion investment out of a large committeeG: For me, probably the most important decisions I make are a l ot like when I pick what technologies the company is going to be t on, those were a bit like Warren’s where you will really have to be willing to be contrary, to leave something aside, and go into some place that aren’t very hot. If you get all aside the technical around, you know, I’m super lucky that I have Steve Bolmer, w ho’s now the CEO of Microsoft. We’re in each other’s offices alm ost every day, he is more of a business-type thinker and I’m a t echnology-type thinker. But we’ve a little bit learned what the oth er one is going to say over the years. So we can give each oth er hard time about the positions we expect. Outside of that, if I have some really tough decision, I talk to my dad, I talk to Warr en, I talk to my wife Marinder, so I have enough people that kno w me and actually know where my judgment isn’t stronger, I mig ht get over excited about something you know forget to think abo ut something and so they are good at correcting frequently, good at correcting whatever those blank-spot are, and I think it’s good to encourage your friends and advisers to give you that license. You know, I can go to a party and forget to say hello to variedpeople or something, this is a very minor example of my blank-spot.B: Not to the hostess.G: Marinder will help me do that.B: Yeah, yeah, she would.G: So you know a small number of people that you can turn to on certain key things are great asset.B: And … Berkshire, Bill has an integrated business, we have thi s diverse group out there, but we have 40 managers, I really en courage them to be doing the same thing, I mean they run their businesses that they are doing, make some mistakes, they basic ally make the calls, they don’t have to check with us, it’s amazin g how … we are, but you know, we bet on brains, we bet on p eople with energy, brains, integrity, we got to call most of them r ight, I think we would lose an awful lot by having all kinds of lay ers, committees reviewed, they had to check with us all the thin g.S: I’m … I’m an Accurate Science major, I’m a junior. You both have several managers working under yourselves, what do you th ink are some steps that a new entrance into the job market can take to accelerate their journey tourism upper level management position?B: When there I would tell you what I didn’t realize when I was getting out of school is how much the unusual person will jumpout at you. I mean you know and it isn’t because they got 200 I Qs or anything like that, it’s really just because how they behave, what they bring, the energy they bring, the commitment, the qua lity of how they do things, how they treat the people around the m, and all kinds of things. But you will jump out much more tha n you might anticipate. The one of things you wanna be sure to do is whether you like it or not, get very comfortable, it might ta ke a while, to public speaking, for example. That’s an asset but will last you 50 or 60 years and it’s a liability if you don’t like do ing it, and umcomfortable doing it, it will also last you 50 or 60 years, and it’s a necessary skill. But a lot of skills are just huma n skills. If you get the best people around you, that’s a rare tale nt, and it doesn’t … with IQ, it … with you know an attitude tow ard the world and toward other people. It’s a talent that if you w ork at early, you’re really conscious about it, you know, you don’t have to show off other people, you know, you don’t have to be smarter than they are, you wanna bring out the best of them, it will pay huge dividends.G: Certainly, the business Microsoft’s thing, the opportunity is afte r they’ve been in even, say 3 years, people can start to rise, the y can rise because they are good at strategy, and that’s mostly r ight in things, they can rise because they’re leaders of people, th ey can rise because of they’re individual contributor. And we tried to have career … that are good for each those things. Well the ideal person, to be frank, is somebody good at all three of those things, and they should get higher in the organization, the jobs really demand great individual thinking skills, great with people a nd great with strategy. It’s always standing to me to get how ma ny people there are, and in individual … there are quite a few p eople, but when you want that combination, it’s rare. And I don’t know why it is, possibly if you’re a good individual contributor, th at you’re getting so much … never encourage to reach other peo ple and get their ideas, but the people have that right combinatio n, or if they’re not good at one of those things, they partner up someone and draw, that many … out. Those are very rare, so w henever we’re looking at top spots, you know, if we can find mor e people like that, it’d be a fantastic thing.S: My name is Brian Dick, I’m from Nebraska. I’m a senior count ing major. And my question, Mr. Gates, is I received an email fr om you a couple of weeks back from you, and it said if I forwar ded it to 20 people, I get 10,000 dollars, I still haven’t seen the money yet.B: How do you think he’s got to be No. 1 on the list?G: Yeah, I get a lot of that span emails myself, my favorite was they offered cover my legal costs for just dollars a month. I’m try ing to track those people down.S: And all seriously, when you just began your career, what’s of the things do you think were, made a big impact in your success, what habit did you develop, and kind of what sort of things coul d you pass onto us as younger people.G: I have one habit that I developed when I was in college, it w as actually a very bad habit, which was, I’d like to show people that I didn’t do any work, and that I didn’t go to classes, I didn’t care and then at the very last minute, like 2 days before the te st, I get serious about it. And people thought that was funny, yo u know, that was my position, that guy did nothing until the last minute, then when I went into business, that was a really bad ha bit, and it took me a couple of years to get over it, nobody prais ed me because I do things until the last minute, and I tried to a dverse, to student I had actually I didn’t think that highly of, who’re always organized, and had things done on time. I’m still worki ng on it. But, procrastination is not a good habit.B: Bill can change clothes in the car, I mean, that’s why we don’t insurance a guy goes in that way. He had a little bad habit. So, but, the habit you developed, and say, I go back to the other th ing, is have your right hero. I mean, I’ve always been lucky in th at respect. You know, if you, the people you look up to are goin g to form your vision of what the world, you know, how you wan t to be in later life, then the one of the two pieces of advice, is invest as much in myself as you can. I mean, you’re your own b iggest asset by far. I mean, you got all kinds of potential of all t he people in this room you know, you’re lucky to be in this coun try, you’ve got a good education, but most people go through life using up a very, very small part of their potential. And so anythi ng you do to invest in yourself, that’s the best investment you can ever make, and I would follow my passion, I mean, whatever t urns you on, you know, I found I was lucky, I found something e arly that turned me on. But you don’t want to take a job just for the money, you don’t want to take a job for an organization that you really don’t feel good about, or work for people you really d on’t feel good about, you really get excited when you get out of bed every morning, it won’t necessary to be the job which you’ll have 10 years later. But as you learn much and go on, you kno w, I took a job with Bengram, my hero, and that, you know, I ne ver asked the salary, I found it at the end of the month when I got my first pay check. Because I just knew it was the right thin g to be doing. I would, follow your passion.S: My name is … I’m a senior marketing major. I guess my que stion is hearing about the globalization of business, being a small business sort of myself, I wonder how you see that affecting sm all business’s sector?B: I don’t think most small businesses as I think, I don’t think it’s going to have that much affect on what you do, I mean if you bring in something to your customer that they want at a price th at makes sense for them, you know, you are not going to be un dercut by whether somebody’s doing something in China, India s mall business. I mean if I want small businesses I deal with, the y do not have a problem with globalization, if you got a major te xtile business, shoe business, you know, furniture business, you’re going to be very much affected by what’s going on around the world, in turns of production cost.G: Globalization is an important attract, because it’s changing the rules of the game. As Warren said, it doesn’t directly affect sma ll business, because usually it affects were there locally doing a very different trade of product, means that somebody far away ca n’t do exactly what you do. The biggest change in the change of globalization is what’s going on in China, while they’re in a sens e even more capitalistic than we are, on terms how they’re lettin g business develop, and keeping things very efficient. So I think i t’s very important no matter what career everybody here is gonna into, to look at China as a change, think about globalization, an d thinking about these indirect affects on the opportunities for the companies you work for. I think that will be very important.S: Hi, I’m … I’m a senior management major. Obviously is the p ublic what we hear about your successful investing ventures or th e new products that you develop that work out, I was just wonde ring what is, what would you consider to be the worst investment you’ve ever made?B: The worst investment I’ve ever made? How long do you have?I made some very bad investments, but that doesn’t really bothe r me. You know, it bothered the shareholders, but that’s another question. You know, you’re gonna make mistakes in life. That me ans there’s no question about it. You don’t wanna make them in big decisions, you know, who you marry, and things like that. So there’s no way I’m going to make a lot of business investment decisions without making some mistakes. I tried to minimize the m. I don’t … at all. I don’t look back. The biggest mistakes are t he ones that actually don’t show up. They’re the mistakes that’s all mission rather than call mission. We never lost that much mo ney on any one investment. But it’s the things I knew enough to do that I didn’t do. We have missed profits of as much as you know maybe 10 billion dollars and things, but I knew enough to do that I didn’t do. The fact that I didn’t buy Microsoft, way back, is not a foregoing opportunity, because I didn’t know enough to make that decision, but there’ve been other investments where I did know enough to make the decision, and for one reason or a nother, I either didn’t do it at all, or did it on a small scale. I wa s sucking my thumb when I should be writing my check you kno w basically. And those don’t show up, there’s no place where it shows missed-opportunities, but I’ve made some big ones. The tri umphs in life are partly triumphs because you didn’t know everyt hing is going to be a triumph. And I would never get too hung o ut on mistakes. I know a lot of people really … over them. It jus t doesn’t worth it. I mean tomorrow is another day, and you live forward, just go on to the next thing.G: I think in Microsoft’s case, the biggest mistake is where we m issed something that is coming along is going to be huge. For u s we get in too early like the idea of delivering TV over the internet, IPTV. We got in probably 5 years before we needed to, it ju st now starte。
世界首富与大学生的对话
世界首富与大学生的对话1. 华盛顿大学的大学生与比尔·盖茨和沃伦·巴菲特的对话1997年5月下旬的一个温暖的星期五下午，坐落在西雅图的华盛顿大学内，学生们排成的长队穿过了爱斯基摩俱乐部大楼的走廊和大门。
这些穿戴整洁正规的学生们排这长队并不是购买音乐会入场券，而是为了得到一场特殊讲演的好座位。
学生们以及为数不多的嘉宾应邀聆听当今两位富有的实业家罕见的公开对话，其中一位是微软公司创始人和首席长官比尔·盖茨，另一位是伯克希尔·哈萨维公司的总裁沃伦·巴菲特。
问：你们是怎样变得比上帝还富?巴菲特：对我来说这个问题很简单，原因不在于智商IQ，我想你们对此会感到高兴。
重要的是理性(rationality)。
我一贯把智商和天资比作马达的马力，然而输出，也就是马达的工作效率，取决于理性。
许多人在工作之初像拥有400马力的马达，可是输出只有100马力，那么，这还不如他们拥有200马力，但将全部马力变为输出释放出来。
为什么聪明人所做的事会阻碍他们释放或全部输出呢?原因在于习惯、个性、气质，在于受理性控制的行为。
不要太随心所欲。
就像我曾经说过的，在座的每一位都有绝对的能力和我做得一样，并且超过我。
其中有些人能做到，可有些人却做不到，对做不到的人而言，不是由于社会不允许你做，而是由于你太随心所欲。
所以我要向你们提一个小小的建议：选出你最崇拜的人物，记下你崇拜他们的原因。
你目前和他们还不可相提并论。
但经过锻炼，你所崇拜的人所具有的品质可以成为你拥有的品质，成为你的行为习惯。
如果不是过于沉重而被打破，习惯的束缚令人难以察觉。
像我这样年纪的人无法再改变习惯，我们已经迟钝了。
可是你们从现在起有20年的时间，可以锤炼你想拥有的好习惯。
因此我建议你们注意一些人具有的令你所崇拜的行为，并以此为榜样养成自己的好习惯。
同时注意另外一些人沾染的使人讨厌的恶习，并引以为戒。
如果你能这样做，你会发现你已将所有的马力转变为输出。
沃伦·巴菲特比尔·盖茨：GoBacktoSchool
沃伦·巴菲特比尔·盖茨：GoBacktoSchool展开全文【职场新人法则】对于刚走出学校大门的新人来说，不论你是否觉得自己很特别，或者是智商比他人高还是低。
这些都不是最重要的事情。
重要的是你开始的态度：你如何付诸行动，如何充满激情和精力充沛的做事情。
不论你是不是喜欢做，自己都要信心十足。
有信心的人，可以把所有的经历，转换成一生受用不尽的财富。
比如说去学习公开讲演。
如果你自信，你就能学会，然后，你的一生都会享有这种资产或成果。
如果你没有信心，久而久之，就会成为负担。
很多人以为某种素质跟智商有关，其实不是，很多技巧都是人性的技巧。
只跟自己面对世界、面对他人的态度有关。
你要知道自己的承诺，关注自己做事的品质，思考该如何对待身边的人和事情.....【年轻人的投资法则】第一法则：尽其所能的投资自己到目前为止，你是你自己最大的资产。
你拥有所有的潜力，你所做的每件事都应该投资到自己身上。
再没有比这个更好的投资了。
第二法则：让热情和爱好引领你前进，不是只为钱去工作顺应热情，凡是能引起你兴趣的就去做；不要只为钱而去接受工作；不为自己不喜欢的公司工作，也不为不喜欢的人工作。
你的工作应该是每天一下床，就兴奋不已。
而不是因为某些原因，要拖延到十年后，你才能开始。
请立刻上路，因为一路上，你会学到很多。
做对的事情，而不是满足于把事情做对。
【内心的评价法则】把毫无意义的事情排除在工作日程之外，去学习真正不同凡响的事情。
人们常常一次次地陷入思考中，但是，只是思考世界的想法，而不是他们自己的想法。
如果一个人能满意对自己的内心的评估，那么他一定会过得很开心的。
你内心的评估比外在的评估要重要的多。
如果一个人，太在意外界的评估，当时过境迁，难免会感到人生有点空虚。
该听谁的话？该如何做出决定？通常的做法是：拿出一面镜子来看，然后，做出诚实的回答。
【失败的应对法则】对付失败的最好办法就是：你一点也不在乎。
也不去反反复复回顾它。

巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演（比尔盖茨与巴菲特重返校园演讲）——如何才能成功、谋取职位、实现成功的人生两位世界顶级的亿万富翁——沃伦•巴菲特和比尔•盖茨，他们的成功之路却截然不同。
巴菲特是凭借传统的方法，即投资于实力雄厚的传统行业而赚取了460亿美元的资产，这些行业涵盖了保险、软饮料、家居建材以及鞋类。
而比尔•盖茨则是一位天才式的人物，他通过创建世界上最庞大的软件公司-微软公司，赚得了500亿美元的资产，他的创新产品包括Window视窗系统、office办公软件和XBOX游戏机，虽然有着不同的经历，他们两位都是亲密好友，而且都愿意与美国最有前途的学生进行互动，今天巴菲特邀请比尔盖茨和他一起与内布拉斯加大学工商管理学院的学生们进行一场对话。
巴菲特于1950在此学校获得了学士学位。
“这儿曾有位姑娘让我非常动心，但她却喜欢同那些弹吉他的家伙在一起，于是我也买了琴，也学着弹了，她依然对我无动于衷。
”（巴菲特，旁白）他们两位都为能有机会与未来商家领袖进行深入讨论而兴致勃勃。
主持人：内布拉斯加大学林肯商业学院热烈欢迎沃伦巴菲特和比尔盖茨。
下面是学生们与沃伦巴菲特和比尔盖茨的问答（根据视频录音整理，从他们与同学们的交流中，可以发现巴菲特的诙谐幽默的谈吐）1、问：您好，我叫基姆•马丁（女），我的专业是金融。
我的问题是：您是如何将道德领导贯穿于整个公司，您可以先说说您是如何知道仅次于您的管理层正在做的是与您相同的决策吗？答：沃伦•巴菲特：我们有足够的资金。
当然，我们想赚更多的钱，如果亏损了我们也能承担，但我们无法承担的是声誉受损，哪怕只有一丁点儿，因此，我要求经理们他们的一举一动不仅要根据法律尺度来判断，这是最起码的标准，而且要根据是否经得起报纸曝光的标准来衡量，如果他们知道自己的某个行为将在明天的报纸上登出来，而读者将会是他们的亲朋好友，左邻右舍，文章则是由一位精明，但不太友好的记者所写的，他们会有什么样的感受，如果能够泰然自若，那就没有问题。
我还告诉他们：如果接近这条底线，那就别做。
他们可以随时与我电话沟通，但如果他们真的给我打电话了，十有八九都是有问题了。
比尔•盖茨：在微软公司的高层管理团队中，大多数人都能站在正确的一边。
不管程度如何，现在我们很多方面的业务都很简单，那就是编写出很棒的软件。
每年我们都会坐下来讨论各种事情，都是必须小心应对的，我们的产品有很高的市场占有度，我们的业务遍及全球，于是就产生了一些特别的规定，比如，如何与供应商做事，因为他们可能送你些礼品，但看到我们的管理人员表现之后，我们对他们的行为有了很大的信心。
沃伦•巴菲特：我要提醒一下，我是台上惟一的大学毕业生。
比尔•盖茨：我马上就会脱下我哈佛大学的T恤，因为我没有完成全部课程，所以我总觉得我不应该离开它。
沃伦•巴菲特：但根据我的了解，他们（台下同学）连半天也不让你穿。
2、问:嗨，我叫特拉•斯坦贝克（女），也是金融专业大四的学生，这个问题是问盖茨的，自从您加入了美国伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的董事会，您是否考虑过在巴菲特先生退休后接替他？答：沃伦•巴菲特：如果你不介意的话，我得把这个记录下来。
比尔•盖茨：能成为伯克希尔哈撒韦公司董事会的成员，对我来说非常荣幸，我是去年12月才加入的，但我不得不说，这有点“得不偿失”，这笔钱连飞到这儿的机票都不够。
沃伦•巴菲特：我没有听到这部分。
比尔•盖茨：但是，伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的组织方式是独一无二的，与我的商业经验也截然不同，我的经验主要是在软件及其运作方式上，因此我希望成为一个很好的顾问，确保伯克希尔公司的继任者可以顺利接班，但那个人不是我，伯克希尔公司人才济济，对其独特的经营之道也很了解，他们会接手。
沃伦•巴菲特：我们每年向董事支付900美元，我也很想再多给点儿，但是比尔在福布斯的排行榜已经遥遥领先于我，我可不想再给他锦上添花，说实在的，我们已经非常非常幸运了，我的意思是说，有人愿意出天价邀请盖茨进入他们的董事会，而他来到伯克希尔董事会，完全是出于友谊，要知道这是很耗费时间的，如果有奖赏的，那也只是精神层面的，有盖茨在这儿，以及我们在年龄上的小小差距，让我感觉非常非好，解释一下，实际上，我的年龄稍长一些时了，因为如果某天早晨我去世了，我知道我找到了一个德才兼备的人，他会作出正确的决策，对此，我深表感谢。
特拉•斯坦贝克：谢谢！3、问：我叫布赖恩•波普，我是精算专业大三的学生，我的问题是你们初次见面是怎么认识的，是不是在那些我不太了解的亿万富翁聚会上相识的？答：沃伦•巴菲特：我们是有这些聚会，但先不谈它们。
我和盖茨是在1991年7月5日认识的，当时，我去华盛顿一个朋友那儿做客，那个朋友是《华丅盛顿邮报》的社论编辑，她认识比尔的父母，她提议说我们一起去胡德运河，到盖茨家坐坐，跟他们见见面，老盖茨夫妇和比尔都会露面的，下面的事，就让比尔来说吧。
比尔•盖茨：好的，这是一次有意思的聚会，因为我妈妈很喜欢交际，经常组织聚会，而我呢，一直觉得度假没什么好处，你知道，我一直全身心于我的工作，所以，当我妈妈对我说：你得出来见见沃伦，还有凯琳格雷厄姆，以及另外一些人时，我说妈妈：我很忙，可她却说：不行，这次聚会非常棒的。
可我想却未必，因为我一心扑在软件的事情上，对投资领域知之甚少，也没有想过太多，但我还是去了，就这样我和沃伦认识了，当我迈出直升机时，我还盘算着几小时后就打道回府，但没有想到，直到那天结束我也没走，一直在和沃伦谈话。
一段令人难以置信的友谊展开了。
虽然我们的经历完全不同，我们感兴趣的东西和认为重要的东西竟然惊人地一致，所以在以后的14年中，我们想方设法找机会碰头，无论是打桥牌，还是高尔夫，但其实就是在一起谈论这个世界，并且思考它的核心是什么。
沃伦•巴菲特：从道义上讲，核心就是听妈妈的话。
（巴菲特笑着说）4、问：我叫麦克•施米茨，也是精算专业大三的学生，您是否可以描绘一下您在工作日时的情景，您是如何腾出时间去玩《光晕2》这类计算机游戏？答：比尔•盖茨：我不怎么玩《光晕2》自己的爱好，我必须承认当我与同事一起玩时，还没搞清怎么回事，就已经被干掉了，这是在玩XBOX LIVE在线游戏时发生的情景，我的赛车游戏玩得还可以，有这样一个工作真好，当你思考和谈论游戏时，都会被认为是在干正经事。
沃伦•巴菲特：这可是他说的。
比尔•盖茨：能与当今新的技术打交道，不管是新电脑也好，新软件也好，还是和研究人员进行讨论，这些都使我认为，我的工作是最理想的，沃伦也认为他的工作是最好的，但我确信我是正确的，当然我还要开很多会，我的日程表被占得满满的，等到了晚上，孩子们都上床睡了，我就要处理大量的邮件，这些都是我在白天收到的，我只有在晚上才有时间回复，等到了周末，我也发出大量的邮件。
每年我会离开两周的时间去阅读和思考，在此期间，完全没有工作和其他任何事务来干扰我，我只是执意去试着思考未来，人们送给我阅读的东西，也是我“思考周”的一部分，这种混乱的状态非常好，大约25%的时间我会外出与欧洲、亚洲的客户以及那些帮助我思考的人会面，内容是我们的产品是否有优先权，哪些地方消费者的反映会比较好，他们又想让我们改进什么。
7、问：我叫玛丽•瑞泽，我的专业是会计学，我们都认为您是金融专家，我们以您为榜样，追随您的领导，但如果您有一个想法或决策需要建议和反馈时，您会去找谁呢？答：沃伦•巴菲特：通常我只是照一下镜子，以却保我是绝对诚实的，我的意思是，我必须更多地进行独立思考，如果我采用类似投票的方式，那我就是在重复他人的做法，我认为这并适合于投资领域，所以我必须有一个环境，必须具备独立思考的个性，我有一个很好的合作伙伴，名叫查理芒格，你无法找一个无所不知，无所不能的人，但我们有很多想法都很类似，我们确实有机会进行探讨，但并不是经常性地探讨，因为我知道他是怎么想的，他也知道我是怎么想的，既然我已经知道他会怎么想，又何必再花电话费去问他你，如果我需要叫上一大帮人来为我决策，我想，那就应当放弃，这种事不值得我费神去承担责任，我只是不想通过投票来做出决策，因为我在投资行业里，看到过太多的特例了，当你的业务越做越大，那些驱使你做出决策的因素也就会越来越类似，我不认为一项卓越的决策会出自于一个庞大的委员会。
比尔•盖茨：对我来说，最重要的决策就是确定公司的技术发展方向的时候，这和沃伦有些类似，这种决策确实需要你进行逆向思维，搁置一些东西，而去深入一些现在还不是非常热的领域，如果能跳出就是范畴，像我就非常幸运，因为我有史蒂夫鲍尔默这样的伙伴，他是现任的微软公司首席执行官，我们每天都会去各自的办公室，他侧重于进行商务方面的思考，而我侧重于思考技术在多年的磨合之后，我们也多少了解对方的想法，所以，我们会交换对形势的不利的预测，除此之外，如果我真的有什么事难以选择，我会与父亲商量，与沃伦商量，与我的夫人梅琳达商量，有足够多的人了解我，知道我的决定并非上策，我有时可能兴奋过头了，或者把某些事给忘记了，他们很擅长纠正错误，特别是梅琳达，擅长纠正那些盲点，我认为确实应当鼓励朋友和顾问拥有这个权利，有时我参加聚会，会忘记问候个别人，这是我很小的一个盲点，但，沃伦•巴菲特：但不会忽视女主人。
比尔•盖茨：梅琳达会帮助我的，她一定会的，所以，那些少数可以委以大事的朋友就是你巨大的财富。
沃伦•巴菲特：顺便说一下，在伯克希尔公司，我们的团队就是这样做的，我的意思是说：我们有40位经理，我让他们掌管自己的业务，他们会犯一些错误，他们会与我电话沟通，但不需要完全按照我的意思去行事，在这方面我们的权力下放是惊人的，但是我们正是依靠那些富有智慧精力旺盛，正直无私的人绝大多数事情他们都做对了，如果让各种委员会来进行层层把关的话，我们可能亏得一塌糊涂。
8、问：我叫凯瑟琳•伯杰尔，我是精算专业大三的学生，你们手下都管着好几个经理，我想知道一位刚步入职场的新人，如何能迅速获得高管职位？答：沃伦•巴菲特：我想告诉你的是，我从没有意思到在走出校门时，将会成为一个多么非凡的人物。
你能脱颖而出，不是因为你的智商可以达到200，而是因为你的行为举止，你能带来什么，你的精力，你的承诺，你做事的质量，你的为人处世之道，诸如此类的这些事情，对你的影响，将会超出你的预料。
有一件事你是必须做的，不管你喜欢与否，那就是轻松自如地当众演讲，这可能得花些功夫，这是一种财富，将伴随你五十年到六十年之久，如果你不喜欢这样做，那就是你的不利条件，同样会伴随你五六十年，这是一项必备技能。
但许多技能仅仅是人类的本能而已，如果你能在周围人里头做得最好，你就是天才，这与智商无关，这与你看待世界以及他人的态度有关，如果你在工作之初就能意识到这一点，就是天才，你没有必要揭发其他人，没必要比其他人更聪明，你只要把他们最好的一面显露出来，你绝对会获益匪浅。
