Warren Buffett's Advice: Champion Positives, Sideline Negatives Investor Warren Buffett’s wisdom isn’t just about making money. He’s known for his simple yet powerful life advice, often told through folksy metaphors. One of his biggest teachings is about investing in yourself and striving to be the best you can be. Buffett advocates surrounding yourself with top-notch people and learning from them: he famously remarked, “It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.”

It’s all about picking up their good habits and making them your own. Buffett has offered a practical approach: create two lists of qualities. First, write down what you love about your role models. Then, jot down the stuff you can’t stand about those you don’t vibe with. Then, aim to adopt the good and steer clear of the bad.

Idea for Impact: Be more like the people you admire the most. This exercise can help you level up and become the best version of yourself.
