Charlie Munger is a longtime partner of Warren Buffett and a well-respected investor and thinker. Here are some of his advice to young people:
1.The surest way to get what you want is to make yourself worthy of it.
2.Think backwards, i.e., try to avoid going to a certain place if you know you're going to fail.
3.Avoid extremely strong ideologies, because jumping to conclusions without fully understanding or experiencing them can easily fall into prejudice and narrow-mindedness.
4.If you really want to excel in a certain field, then you must have a strong interest in it.
5.Insist on lifelong learning. After leaving school, you still need to continue your studies so that you can go further in life.
6.Surround yourself with the love of friends and family, and cherish family and friendship.
7.Don't work for someone you don't respect and admire.
8.When you wake up every day, try to be a little smarter than you used to be.
9.Conscientiously and excellently complete their tasks.
10.The surest way to get what you want is to make yourself worthy of it.
These pieces of advice emphasise the importance of independent thinking, lifelong learning, excellence and valuing relationships, and are instructive for young people.
