Charlie Munger in Damn Right! 8

“First rate man should be willing to take at least some difficult jobs with a high chance of failure.”



“I’ve been in one aspect or another of investment management for what. 44 years or so, and trying not to disappoint anyone,” said Buffett. “And in the process of not disappointing anyone, one of the key factors is having them have the proper expectations and being knowledgeable about what they’re getting and what they’re not getting. Neither Mr. Munger nor I would function as effectively if we had tens of thousands of people who were in one way or another disappointed with us. That’s not Berkshire.”
