I picked up a book about Warren Buffet over the weekend and am working my way through it. Pretty interesting stuff. He was a totally focused person, interested in numbers from early childhood and fascinated by the idea of making a lot of money from a very early age.

apparently too a nice fellow from the beginning, nice, unassuming and polite, but when it came to investing he was not modest about his ideas and would tell you about it without any false humility.

I am reminded of the focus a young Muhammad Ali had on boxing to the point that other kids his age thought him to be weird. Buffet too did not worry much about conventional ideas of how to dress and so forth.
