“The best investment you can make is in yourself. The more you learn, the more you earn. Nobody can take away your knowledge, and it will always give you the best returns. Surround yourself with people who are better than you, and you will naturally improve. Success is not just about money; it’s about integrity, relationships, and good habits. It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it—if you think about that, you’ll do things differently. Choose your heroes wisely because you will become like them. The key to success is continuous learning, honesty, and making smart decisions every day.”
Warren Buffett’s speech at the University of Georgia (2001)
