1 "Life Moat"
Author: Zhang Hui
Buffett believes that the determination of whether any particular company has a competitive advantage lies in whether it has a broad and sustainable "moat". The "moat" excavated around the "castle" keeps competitors "out of the city", thus guaranteeing the company's profits. The same philosophy applies to individuals: life is like a company, and to run this company well and build a "moat", you must establish your own core strengths. This book explains how to run a life company through the four concepts of beginning and end, unity of thought and action, high transparency, multi-point support, and the practice based on these ideas. Taking the beginning as the end means to have the ability to think in the end game, learn to stand in the future and look at today, so as to find the "right thing" and insist on doing it for a lifetime. The unity of thought and action is to clarify the idea that governs one's own behavior, and then to practice it continuously. High transparency means to often talk about failure, anxiety, and ups and downs, have the courage to discover their own shortcomings, and always exchange "energy" with the outside world. Multi-point support is to find other fulcrums on the road to pursuing financial freedom and spiritual freedom, so as to make the road of life broader. By practicing these concepts, we can build our true strengths, gain methodologies and strategies for personal growth, and then create a "moat" and take control of our own lives.
