Happiness or Success

A while back, I was watching a Warren Buffett interview with Tom Brokaw, and he said something during the course of his interview that is worth thinking about. Now I never met the man (Buffett that is), but I have been in awe of him for a long time now. Not because he has loads of money, but the fact that he does and doesn’t let it define him. He sees finance as a means to an end, and not the end itself. Making money is pleasurable to him, just like playing basketball is more fun to others who don’t necessarily have NBA aspirations. As such, anyone who shares the same characteristic can just as likely navigate away from the curse that makes the love of money, the root of all evil. But I digress…
