Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. - Warren Buffet
Inspirational quote of the day by Warren Buffet.
If you look around, you will see many wonderful achievements. Beautiful parks, lovely homes, huge malls, elegant coffee shops and restaurants. These didn't happen by accident. They are the result of someone's thoughtful action years ago.
In your own life, the efforts and actions you take today will not yield immediate results, but they will lay the foundation for a better future. Each effort is a seed that will grow into a tree in your later life to shade you from the hot sun.
Think beyond the instant gratification of today. Make long-term plans and start working today to achieve your goals. Increase your knowledge now, gain experience, and put in the effort. You will be rewarded later in life.
Warren Buffet (1930) an American investor often referred to as the "Oracle of Omaha," is considered one of the most successful investors in the world. He is the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a holding company.
A prime example of how Buffet applied this quote is in 1988, when he purchased more than $1 billion in shares of Coca-Cola, which was facing financial challenges at the time. While other investors were focused on short-term gains, Buffet saw the long-term potential of the brand. By sticking to his conviction and holding on to his stock, as of June 30, 2023, those shares are now worth $23 billion.
Play the long game.
