Wake up early, get dressed for work, drive for 40 minutes, start working, finish work, go home, eat, watch a movie, and go to bed... If you realize that you are living life as if you are walking with your eyes closed, with no time to reflect on what you did each day, what your goals are, or even living life without knowing which direction to go, you might feel a bit startled by Warren Buffett's quote: “Don't sleepwalk through life.”
Warren Buffett, 88 years old is known as a billionaire who once ranked as the richest person in the world. He is a “investor” holding shares in over 10 of the world's top companies.
WorkVenture has gathered 3 valuable ideas from listening to this grandfather's speech to inspire ordinary people like us to improve our lives in our own way.
Idea One: The 5/25 Formula for Defining Your Future Path
Buffett's 5/25 formula is to take a piece of paper, write down everything you want to do in 25 points, and then circle the 5 that are most important to you. After that, focus on the things you have chosen to do, no matter how big or seemingly impossible they may be. Many people may feel lost and confused about whether they are on the right path, but once you have chosen your path, any obstacles or risks you encounter do not mean you have failed. They are merely challenges that help you surpass your own limits and move to the next level to achieve your 5 goals.
Idea Two: Find a Job That Doesn’t Feel Like Work
According to Buffett's advice, “The important thing is to look for the job you would take if you didn’t need a job.” This means don’t endure a job you don’t like just to have a good work history in the future. Find a job that excites you and makes you want to get out of bed in the morning, regardless of what your starting salary is. If you still don’t feel passionate about your current job, whether it’s your first or second job, don’t give up until you find the right one.
Final Idea: Apply the Qualities of People You Admire
Choose the person you admire the most. Buffett believes that you can become the person you want to be because those individuals can accelerate your success by imitating them. Write down what you admire about them and follow their example. Another important point is to examine how what you plan to do will impact your future. If it brings positive results, go for it. The takeaway from Buffett's advice is that if you think there is something you can do and do well, start doing it mindfully. Don’t let failure happen without you realizing it with the word “Wait a minute”
