3 Things in life separate the Doers and Achievers from the Daydreamers

Warren Buffett is arguably the best investor who ever lived. The Oracle of Omaha, as he is known, started investing in 1942, is now among the top 10 richest persons globally.​While Buffett is occasionally wrong about economics , he is spot-on about his most famous life lessons, like the three examples below

1. Love the work that you do : Plain and simple, when you do what you love, success will follow.He concludes, “There comes the time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning.” So, what is it that you really want to do?

2. Stop your “thumb-sucking” : Ever sat on a decision too long and did nothing when you should’ve acted on it? That, according to Buffett, is thumb-sucking. It’s stalling, procrastinating, and avoiding something that may have been your best bet to begin with to reach your goals. We’re all guilty of it, and Warren Buffett is no exception. The lesson? As with most important decisions in life, including investing, do your research thoroughly, get all the information, and then act swiftly on your decision. And if the answer is no, act with the same clarity of mind and walk away knowing you made the right choice.

3. Don’t judge yourself by other people’s standards : When setting the bar for your own goals, don’t fall for the trap of measuring it by other people’s measure of success. Buffett’s most famous rules — your “inner scorecard”– which defines your own standards and not what the world imposes on you. The inner scorecard, a principle he learned from his father, comes from deep within and speaks your truth. It gives meaning to who you are, and how you naturally behave and see the world on the basis of your values and beliefs, not someone else’s. In short, it’s taking the higher road to achieve success because it comes from the heart.
