Thoughts on Getting Smarter
Today, I was watching a video of Warren Buffett, on that video there is a small interview with Charlie Munger. Charlie mentioned the following German saying: “You get OLD too soon & SMARTER too late”.
This thought is just extremely powerful in life. If you can find people that get you smarter sooner, then your life should improve big time. In my personal experience, I think this is true; in fact I wish that it was sooner (meaning when I was a child).
In my earlier years, either I did not understand this or did not have the opportunity to meet smart people. It was more towards my youth when smart people started to influence me. The biggest leap was at graduate school, I was fortunate enough to meet one of the smarter persons in the world[1].
This fascinating group of people that includes professors and students help me to get smarter every day, and this has created an avalanche of resources that allows me to keep getting smarter. (One of my professors introduced me to Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett Letters)
Today, I want more and more to relate and meet with smarter people than me, as Charlie Munger said “This is the nature of life”. I find this extremely gratifying.
In summary, we must search for people that help us getting “smarter” sooner, and we must be willing to do the same to other people, so you create a “virtuous cycle” that improves our world and human kind.
On the contrary, and interestingly enough as well, I have spend big part of my life to help people getting “smarter”; and I have found both, people that wants to learn and others that don’t; I can’t answer why people will not want to get smarter earlier but for me if only one of those is willing to listen and learn faster I have done my part.
[1] The word “Smarter” not only applies to high IQ but people with high understanding of human nature and “life”
