2015年伯克希尔股东会问答:

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hi. My name is Chang, originally from Seoul, South Korea, and working in Los Angeles, California.

股东:你好。我叫张,来自韩国首尔,在加州洛杉矶工作。

I’ve been traveling more than 27 countries, and last year I taught financial literacy lesson in one of the local elementary school in (inaudible) city.

我去过超过27个国家,去年我在(听不清)城市的一所当地小学教授金融知识课。

Today here, we’re talking about investments in capital markets, but young students in developing countries, they don’t know how to save money, or they don’t know the concept of interest.

今天,我们讨论的是资本市场的投资,但是发展中国家的年轻学生,他们不知道如何存钱,或者他们不知道利息的概念。

So, in order to overcome the educational challenges, I would like to provide volunteer opportunities to talented Americans to teach in South American schools to overcome the — while they are traveling.

因此,为了克服教育方面的挑战,我想为有才华的美国人提供志愿者机会,让他们在南美的学校教书,以克服他们旅行时遇到的困难。

So, what do you think about my plan or do you have any advice? Thank you.

你觉得我的计划怎么样,或者你有什么建议吗?谢谢你!

WARREN BUFFETT: Charlie, do you have any advice?

沃伦·巴菲特:查理,你有什么建议吗?

CHARLIE MUNGER: Well, I failed in this activity with some of my relatives, so I don’t think I can improve South America. (Laughter)

查理·芒格:嗯,我和我的一些亲戚在这个活动中失败了,所以我认为我不能改善南美。(笑声)

No, I think if you don’t — if you don’t know how to save, I can’t help you. (Laughter)

不,我觉得如果你不知道,如果你不知道怎么存钱,我帮不了你。(笑声)

WARREN BUFFETT: No, but the important thing is to get good habits early on.

沃伦·巴菲特:不,但重要的是要及早养成好习惯。

CHARLIE MUNGER: Yeah.

查理·芒格:是的。

WARREN BUFFETT: You really — you know someone said the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they’re too heavy to be broken. And habits really make an enormous difference in your life.

沃伦·巴菲特:你真的——你知道有人说过,习惯的枷锁太轻而感觉不到,直到它们太重而无法被打破。习惯真的会对你的生活产生巨大的影响。

So Andy and Amy Heyward have developed the “Secret Millionaires Club,” which I’ve helped out with a little, and our goal is to, in an entertaining way, present good habits to young kids through a kind of a comedy series.

所以安迪和艾米·海沃德创立了“秘密百万富翁俱乐部”,我也帮了一点忙,我们的目标是以一种娱乐的方式,通过一种喜剧系列,向孩子们展示良好的习惯。

And I think that’s — it’s actually having a pretty good effect. And here in a few days, we’re going to have a — here in Omaha — we’re going to have eight finalists in young kids from around the country that have developed businesses of their own, and I’m always enormously impressed with these kids.

我认为这实际上有很好的效果。再过几天,我们将在奥马哈举行一场——我们将有来自全国各地的八名年轻的孩子进入决赛,他们都有自己的生意,这些孩子给我留下了深刻的印象。

But the importance of developing good habits yourself, or encouraging good habits in your children very early on, in respect to money, can change their lives.

但是自己养成好习惯的重要性,或者鼓励孩子从小养成好习惯,在金钱方面,可以改变他们的生活。

And, you know, I was 9 or $10,000 ahead when I got out of college, and I got married young and had kids very fast.

你知道,我大学毕业的时候有9千到1万美元的收入,我很早就结婚了,很快就有了孩子。

And if I hadn’t had that start, my life would have been vastly different. So it — you can’t start young enough on working on good money habits.

如果我没有那么一个开始,我的人生将会大不相同。因此,你在培养良好的理财习惯上越早开始越好。

And I do think the “Secret Millionaires Club” is very good, but there could be lots of other good ways of teaching those lessons.
我确实认为“秘密百万富翁俱乐部”很好,但还有很多其他的好方法来教授这些课程。

解读:

巴菲特一语道破天机,在早期,习惯的枷锁太轻以至于人们感觉不到,直到它们太重而无法打破。

《习惯的力量》这本书曾深入探讨过习惯对人类行为的影响。事实上,人们一天中大部分的行为举止都被习惯所牵引,而不需要经过大脑的详细计算或思考,这是大脑节省脑力资源的一种机制。因此,有一种说法认为,想要坚持每天锻炼,最重要的是形成习惯。
有的人习惯储蓄,有的人习惯了借债消费,经过若干年,前者积累起可观的财富,后者总是面临破产的危机。对于后者,我身边就有这样的例子,而且这个习惯似乎无法被改变。
我一直在思考本公众号的价值或者初心在哪里,其实可以结合理财习惯来展开说明,那就是传递价值投资理念,让习惯借债消费、杠杆投机的人开始稳健投资,避免债务危机;让大部分只知道储蓄的人以正确的姿势参与资本市场,取得合理的回报以实现财富增值,比如长期投资低成本的优质指数基金;让个股投资者系统学习格雷厄姆部落(巴菲特+施洛斯)的投资哲学,真正做到聚焦企业,不管是学习巴菲特集中持有优秀企业以获取未来的现金流,还是学习施洛斯逆向分散买入打折的资产,最重要的是在避免资本永久性的损失,然后在此基础上实现超额收益。
