巴菲特:
1.每天看500頁資料:股神巴菲特每天都會花五到六個小時來閱讀不同的報紙
2.花時間自己靜靜思考:巴菲特曾表示,「我堅持每天都要花時間坐下來思考。這在美國企業很難得,我閱讀並且思考,比較不會貿然下決定。」
3.信任下屬並給予讚美:在巴菲特每年寫的股東信中,經常會看到他讚美自己的員工
4.迅速行動:巴菲特認為下好決定就要行動,不要錯過任何一個好機會
Successful people are believed to live a disciplined life and maintain good habits. We can draw inspiration from the good habits of billionaires to build a wealth-generating constitution.
Jeff Bezos:
- Read for 30 minutes a day: Bezos is an avid reader, reading over ten books a month, and he asks his executives to learn from three books.
- Ensure 8 hours of sleep daily: Bezos prioritizes sleep, believing that “as a senior executive, you are paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions. Is it worth it if the quality of those decisions decreases because you are tired or unhappy?”
- Envision the future: Bezos likes to come up with many ideas about the future, believing it helps keep the company innovative, as seen in his last shareholder letter.
- Wake up early (usually at 5 AM): Bezos values his morning time and schedules his most important meetings at 10 AM.
Elon Musk:
- Schedule the day in 5-minute increments: Musk divides his day into hundreds of blocks, effectively improving his work efficiency.
- Wake up at 7 AM daily: Musk usually starts his day by handling urgent and important work emails.

- Read 500 pages a day: The "Oracle of Omaha" spends five to six hours reading various newspapers every day.
- Spend time in quiet reflection: Buffett has said, “I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That’s very uncommon in American business. I read and think, and make less impulsive decisions than most people in business.”
- Trust and praise subordinates: In Buffett's annual shareholder letters, he often praises his employees.
- Act quickly: Buffett believes in acting on good decisions and not missing any opportunities.
