Gates said in a 2009 interview: "I got a lot of great advice from Buffett, and one of the most interesting ones was how he made sure things were simplified."

If it feels less complicated, he may choose to invest in it. Buffett has many ways to choose who to invest in, including projects that are predictable and sustainable in the long term. Buffett is only interested in what is really valuable, which is a special talent. (BI Chinese Station/Tencent Technology Exclusive Copyright)

Weiner wrote in a 2012 article: "As a child, I don't remember the day my father told me that I could do whatever I wanted. He often taught me, and I had to listen carefully, like 'eat vegetables'. I think it's probably one of the clichés that every parent keeps instilling in their kids. But it was only after knowing them for decades that I fully understood the importance of these words and their profound impact on me. (BI Chinese Station/Tencent Technology Exclusive Copyright)
Eric Schmidt: Chairman of Google's board of directors.

He runs an organization that helps people live better lives, writing dozens of books with his wife and even talking to Winfrey. Now, Guy is 69 years old, but he's starting to write detective fiction and is still making his first film.
Ben Silbermann :P co-founder of Interest.

The best advice Espram ever got was: "If you're not told 'no' enough times a day, you may not be doing it right or trying hard enough."

And I wanted to create a whole new retail model. ”
Ursula Burns: Chairman and CEO of Xerox.

Mary Barra: General Motors CEO Barra posted on LinkedIn in 2014: "The best advice I ever received came from my parents, who encouraged me to work hard and pursue my dreams.
This advice is important for two reasons: First, it makes me do things that I really enjoy. In my experience, whether at work or in life, there are many smart geniuses. But talent alone is not enough, and the important criterion for distinguishing these geniuses is who is passionate and hard working. In fact, a lot of hard-working people can beat geniuses who don't work hard enough. Passion can drive you to work hard and do what you love best. Second, my parents' advice pushed me down the path of an engineer. Few women at the time worked in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
