Sometimes interdiciplinary does wonders. Before Apple, computers had dull single type of fonts. But somehow Steve Jobs had done course on calligraphy and had knowledge of computers and we have this wonderful things. Otherwise all computer genius people would have no idea that there is other font too. It is different thing that MS copied apple and did better marketing.
This is really interesting piece of read. It is not related to WB or Charlie and amin can move it at right place:
On WB's cigar butt investing style Charlie said that WB is smart enough to come out of that mental block. His influence was just to faten it. I think Charlie is not just being humble(he never tries to), but he is right.

This one needs to be framed. It does not require 100 companies to make a lot of money in the markets because finally the number of stocks that do it for us would be less then 5 and we better make sure we have enough in them at the starting block!!!

understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

A foreign correspondent said to us, “You don’t seem smart enough to be doing so much better than the rest of us.” We said we know the edge of our competency better than most people do. It’s not a competency if you don’t know the edge of it.---Charlie Munger's comments at the Berkshire Hathaway 2006 Annual Meeting

Yeh Charles Munger ki baate log sunne lage toh TV18 aur doosre business channel will be out of business. What will they fill their programs with.

IF not the noise from the business channels then the smooth talk from the brokers will make you forget the pearls of wisdom from Buffet and Munger and Phil Fisher(for tech) .Just stick to it unless you are clearly wrong-thats all I have learnt in practice.
