Warren Buffett: The three things I look for in a person
“You’re looking for three things, generally, in a person,” says Buffett. “Intelligence, energy, and integrity. And if they don’t have the last one......(they will fail? just asking?)
Lots of Rich (successful) people have NO integrity at all, "energy" does he mean in Gym class, or the willingness to work 24hrs a day with no pay check if necessary, "Intelligence" is ok but I'll bet the kid in your grade school who was "street smart" and made millions selling carpet, made more money in this world than the kid with all "A"s( maybe an English teacher now)....Just thinking Warren
