“I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.”
11 时间
在2017年由Charlie Rose主持了巴菲特和他的老朋友，微软创始人比尔盖茨的座谈会。巴菲特说道，“基本上，我想买什么就能买什么，但是我买不到时间。”
巴菲特又把自己的日历本给主持人看，主持人惊讶的说，“上面什么也没有”。 比尔盖茨表示，“我每分每秒都安排满了，我认为这是做事情的唯一方法”，但是巴菲特却教他给自己时间思考的重要性。
巴菲特说，“我最好小心谨慎，（因为）我无法买到更多的时间了。”
