\n

It was a stroke of luck that I came across the words and lives of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger in the very early part of my life as an investor. I was not searching for heroes. But encountering their work felt like someone had turned on a light in a dark room I didn\u2019t know I was sitting in. And suddenly, I could see myself a little more clearly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you observe a person carefully, without trying to idolise them but just to understand them, you start to see what living with clarity actually looks like. But here\u2019s where the trouble also sneaks in: the moment we elevate someone on a pedestal, we stop seeing clearly ourselves. The moment we start imitating, the understanding is gone.<\/p>\n

So, the point isn\u2019t to become them. It\u2019s to notice what made their way of living ring true<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Like, from Munger, I learned what it means to look straight at reality. No sugarcoating. No stories we tell ourselves to feel better. He showed me that most confusion is homemade. And that clear thinking is often just removing what\u2019s unnecessary, instead of adding more.<\/p>\n

Buffett taught me something softer. It was about patience and steadiness of heart that doesn\u2019t get eaten alive by envy or resentment. He showed me that a meaningful life doesn\u2019t have to be dramatic. Sometimes it\u2019s just showing up every day and doing the simple things\u2026 again and again\u2026 for years, without worrying about what the world thinks of you.<\/p>\n

In the farewell letter<\/a> he published yesterday before he says he\u2019s \u201cgoing quiet,\u201d he wrote:<\/p>\n

Choose your heroes very carefully and then emulate them. You will never be perfect, but you can always be better.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If you look into this deeply, you realise he\u2019s not<\/em> saying \u201cbecome someone else.\u201d He\u2019s saying: pay attention (\u201cchoose\u201d) to what calls to you.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s because the people we admire are simply a reflection of something we sense as true within ourselves. The care with which we choose our influences is the care with which we shape our inner world.<\/p>\n

And so, I don\u2019t see the \u201cemulation\u201d he speaks about as copying. I see it as the movement of our own thoughts, our own reactions, and letting what is false fall away.<\/p>\n

So when I say I was lucky to learn from Buffett and Munger, I don\u2019t mean I tried to live their lives. At least, not 100%. I mean they helped me understand my own life.<\/p>\n

Munger is gone. Now, Buffett is slowly stepping back. And I feel some pain in that. I won\u2019t call it grief, but just the awareness that a book I\u2019ve carried and loved with all my heart all these years is about to come to an end. Or like a room I used to walk into all the time\u2026 and now the door is closing.<\/p>\n

So yes, Buffett will go quiet. And that chapter is closing. But what he and Munger gave doesn\u2019t end. It just becomes ours to carry now. In how we think. In how we live. In how we invest. And in how we treat the world and ourselves.<\/p>\n
