Avoiding Stupidity is Easier than Seeking Brilliance

I remember a question that was asked to Warren Buffett.  “What tips would you give to someone who wished to make money?”

He suggested that there were no simple tips, but then finished by saying “the best way to make money is to stop losing money.”

When you begin in improving your decision making, rather than focussing on becoming brilliant…  it is better to avoid really dumb decisions.

To be richer, first start by stopping making yourself poor.

Are there still areas where you are trying to be brilliant, but haven’t removed your stupid old habits?

I’m in London tomorrow and Friday.  Hope you have a good rest of the week.
