Warren Buffett says his father's greatest lesson was unconditional love. Not uncritical, but the assurance a child can always return to that love shapes who they become. Buffett learned it by example, not preaching.
Warren, people want to know what's the single best piece of advice you've ever received?
I received it in a variety of forms, particularly from my father when I was very young. But I mean, he basically, I think, taught me how to live. Not that I did it perfectly or anything like that, but I mean, he was giving me lessons, but he wasn't doing it by preaching to me. He was doing it by example. But basically, uh, well, the biggest lesson in a sense I got is the power of unconditional love. I mean, I think there is no power on earth like unconditional love, and I think that If you offer that to your child, I mean, you're 90% of the way home. And maybe days when you don't feel like it— it's not uncritical love, that's a different animal. But to know you always can come back, I mean, that is huge in life. That takes you a long, long way. And I would say that every parent out there that can extend that to their child at a very young age, it's going to make for a better human being.
