Sunday Curations – Buffet's Life Advice, Startup Speed & Big Decisions

Buffet's take on leaving money to your kids, community highlights & more

Happy Sunday! Looks like we migrated from Revue just in time before Elon decided to sunset it. This week we have a collection of Tweets as well as Buffet’s take on how not to spoil your kids too much (if you are rich).

Let us know what you discovered this week.

Startup Speed

Aaron Levie @levie

Clock speed is one of the biggest factors you can optimize as a company. The speed at which you ship, get feedback, iterate, and ship again is your most sustainable competitive advantage.

Life Advise from Buffet

What I’ve learned from Warren Buffet – Bill Gates

Warren and I share certain values. He and I both feel lucky that we were born into an era in which our skills have turned out to be so remunerative. Had we been born at a different time, our skills might not have had much value. Since we don’t plan on spending much of what we have accumulated, we can make sure our wealth benefits society. In a sense, we’re both working for charity. In any case, our heirs will get only a small portion of what we accumulate, because we both believe that passing on huge wealth to children isn’t in their or society’s interest. Warren likes to say that he wants to give his children enough money for them to do anything but not enough for them to do nothing. I thought about this before I met Warren, and hearing him articulate it crystallized my feelings.

Big Decisions

Flo Crivello @Altimor

I often think of Andy Grove's observation that everyone wishes they'd made most of their big decisions 6 mos earlier — job changes, breakups, firings… The natural conclusion is that you should make the big changes extremely fast — shortly after you first think of them
