What truly determines your ceiling in life isn’t how much knowledge you’ve learned or whether you got into Tsinghua or Peking University. It’s about: 1. How you invest in yourself 2. How you treat your body 3. Surrounding yourself with people better than you First, the best investment is in yourself. For example, improving your communication skills—being articulate → same abilities, double the income. Second, don’t wait until you’re 50 to start taking care of your body. The most expensive luxury car you’ll ever own is your body. Lastly, Buffett repeatedly emphasizes that the most important choices in life are: your partner + your business partners. Choosing the wrong partner is even worse than choosing the wrong business partner. Who you are depends on who you surround yourself with. People tend to become the average of those they interact with most. Actively get close to people better than you, and pray they don’t figure it out too quickly. Turn yourself into a high-value asset, then place yourself in the right people and environment. Time will naturally compound the results for you.
