00:00By far the best investment you can make is in yourself.
00:11If you invest in yourself, nobody can take it away from you.
00:15If I gave you a car, and it'd be the only car you'd get the rest of your life, you'd
00:20take care of it like you can't believe it, and you'd scratch it, fix that moment, you'd
00:22read the owner's manual, you'd keep a garage and do all these things, and you'd get exactly
00:26one mind and one body in this world, and you can't start taking care of it when you're
00:3250.
00:33By that time, you'll have rusted out if you haven't done anything, so just remember that
00:41you've just got one mind and body to get through life with, and to do the most with it.
00:45What about life advice?
00:47You know, the most important thing, aside from the things I've talked about already,
00:53is really who you associate with.
00:54You want to associate with people that are better than you are.
00:56I mean, basically, you'll go in the direction of the people that you associate with, and
01:01you want to have the right heroes.
01:03You want people you better pick very carefully who you want to emulate, and obviously, you
01:09can't pick your parents.
01:10They're going to have enormous influence on you, but you don't get a choice on that.
01:15But you get choices as you go down the line, and who you want to copy, and the most important
01:22for most people, in terms of that decision, is their spouse.
01:25It's also important in terms of a partner in business, but the partner in life is the
01:30most important.
01:31You want to pick a spouse that's better than you are.
01:35Biggest mistakes people make in the U.S.?
01:38They just don't realize that all you have to do is just buy a cross section of America,
01:42and they never listen to people like me, or read the papers, or do anything.
01:46They think that because you can trade, you should trade.
01:50You buy a farm, you buy an apartment house, you can't resell it tomorrow.
01:54Now you get something handed to you, liquidity, which is instant, you can sell, and the cost
01:59of doing it are pennies, compared to other kinds of investment activity.
02:03So because they can so easily move around, they do move around, and moving around is
02:09not smarter than investing.
02:10You have a pretty cool morning routine, regarding what you have for breakfast, and how prosperous
02:16you eat.
02:17What is that?
02:19I eat exactly what I like to eat.
02:22If somebody offered me a deal, when I was 20, and said, you're going to live one year
02:25longer, instead of living to 88, you'll live to 89, or whatever it may be, if you eat nothing
02:31but broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, and onions, and all these things, I just said, I'll take
02:36the last year off, it probably won't be that good anyway.
02:40I eat what I like.
02:43What's your opinion on broccoli and Brussels sprouts?
02:45Depends on the person.
02:47Much more than it depends on the school.
02:49Some people are going to get a lot out of advanced education, and some people are going
02:53to get very little.
02:57I don't even think it's important that every person go to college at all.
03:00We have all kinds of jobs at 70, or 12,000 a year, 80,000 a year, that college training
03:07is not of use.
03:10I actually was not keen on going to college myself.
03:15My dad kind of jollied me into it, he could get me to do anything.
03:19I knew I could have a good time, and I liked investing, and I didn't really feel, I could
03:23read the books.
03:26It's a big commitment, to take four years, and the cost involved, and maybe the loans
03:30involved, and everything, I think, depending on what your interests are in life, I don't
03:36think it's for everybody, I think it's for a lot of people.
03:39But there ought to be a reason you're going, and I didn't really see much reason.
03:43If you get to be 65 or 70, and later, and the people that you want to have love you
03:50actually do love you, you're a success.
03:54I've never seen anybody that reaches that age, I mean, I'm not talking about somebody
03:58that's in extreme poverty, or pain, or something, but I've never seen anybody that, if they
04:02have a lot of people that love them, that is other than happy, and I've seen some very,
04:08very wealthy people that they give testimonial letters to, and name schools after, and everything,
04:14nobody loves them.
04:16The best investment you can make is in yourself.
04:18If you invest in yourself, nobody can take it away from you.
