The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life 滚雪球：巴菲特自传 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

　　Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business

Book of the Year Prize 2008 The Snowball is the first and will be

the only biography of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett,

written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a

unique blend of "The Sage of Omaha's" business savvy, life story

and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone

wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and

life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world's greatest

investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk

and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six.

In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire

Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US

purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat

never equalled in the annals of business. Despite an estimated net

worth of around US$62 billion, Buffett leads an intriguingly frugal

life taking home a salary of only GBP50,000 a year. His only

indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges

by calling it "The Indefensible".In 2006, he made the largest

charitable donation on record, with most of it going to the Bill

& Melinda Gates Foundation. The Snowball provides a

comprehensive, richly detailed insight one of the world's most

extraordinary and much loved public figures.

One was if interest rates fell and remained below historic level.

The second was if the share of the economy that went to inverstors, as opposed to employees and government and other things, rose above its already historically high level.

Or, the economy could start growing faster than normal.

"Spend less than you make."

"Don't go into debt."

"to respond to calamity with teeth-gritted optimism"

"The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard."

"In teaching your kids, I think the lesson they're learning at a very, very early age is what their parents put the emphasis on."

"He(Warren's dad) was really a maverick. But he wasn't a maverick for the sake of being a maverick. He just didn't care what other people thought. My dad taught me how life should be lived."

If he sold one stick to Virginia Macoubrie, he would have four sticks left to sell to somebody else, not worth the work or the risk.

He wanted money.

"It could make me independent. Then I could do what I wanted to do with my life. And the biggest thing I wanted to do was work for myself. I didn't want other people directing me. The idea of doing what I wanted to do every day was important to me."

"One lesson was not to overly fixate on what he had paid for a stock. The second was not to rush unthinkingly to grab a small profit."

　　In this startlingly frank account of Buffett's life,

Schroeder, a former managing director at Morgan Stanley—and hand

picked by Buffett to be his biographer—strips away the mystery that

has long cloaked the word's richest man to reveal a life and

fortune erected around lucid and inspired business vision and

unimaginable personal complexity. In a book that is dominated by

unstinting de*ions of Buffett's appetites—for profit, women

(particularly nurturing maternal types), food (Buffett maintained

his and his family's weight by "dangling money")—it is refreshing

that Schroeder keeps her tone free of judgment or awe; Buffett's

plain-speaking suffuses the book and renders his public and private

successes and failures wonderfully human and universal. Schroeder's

sections detailing the genesis of Buffett's investment strategy,

his early mentoring by Benjamin Graham (who imparted the memorable

"cigar butt" scheme: purchasing discarded stocks and taking a final

puff). Inspiring managerial advice abounds and competes with

gossipy tidbits (the married Buffett's very public relationship

with Washington Post editor Katherine Graham) in this rich,

surprisingly affecting biography. --This text refers to the

Hardcover edition.

• 巴菲特果然是个传奇

  作者：兰心Linda 发布时间：2009-12-18 11:50:03

        从前对于大家争相花巨额钱财，只为了与巴菲特共进一次午餐这样的人很不解，对于巴菲特，只了解他很有钱，财富总与盖茨不相上下，一样是个普通的老头。《滚雪球：巴菲特和他的财富人生》则告诉了我巴菲特那传奇般的经历，才了解这个老头不普通。

     在图书馆啃完了将近700页的《滚雪球》后感触颇深：

     1、一个人要想成功，必须有种“专注”的精神。巴菲特就是如此，读报，是他每天的第一要务，分析财报，找机会投资，是他最为重要的生活。对赚钱的专注，使得他在思考中积累自己的赚钱圣经，才能成就了今天的他。盖茨也是如此，对计算机的专注于痴迷，与巴菲特极为相似。

     2、一个人要想成功，事业和家庭很难兼顾。像滚雪球般的积累财富是巴菲特生活的重心与乐趣，年轻的时候，成立了合伙人公司，在家办公，他便每天都呆在他的小“办公室”里，不下楼，和孩子的交流很少，更是忽略了妻子苏珊的感受，以至于孩子长大后，苏珊离开，搬去旧金山居住，尽管还保持着婚姻关系。

     3、要学会内化和思考。巴菲特的成功之处，主要是在于读书的内化以及不时的思考。他将导师格雷厄姆的书吃透，把他的理论熟记于心并熟练运用，他也能通过自己的思考与实践，去发现老师理论的不足，从而去改变投资策略，关注那些有潜力的优秀企业，开始从事长期投资。

     4、在财富面前保持冷静和理智。巴菲特并没有因为自己有巨额的财富而奢侈挥霍，他依旧开着自己小时候买的那一辆车；在股市暴涨的时候没有被冲昏了头脑，依然保持冷静；在股市急转直下的时候，也没有慌张，依然保持理智的头脑。别人贪婪的时候我恐惧，别人恐惧的时候我贪婪，正是他对自己的财富观的总结。

     一个传奇的老头，一段传奇的经历，一个传奇的人生，巴菲特给我们的启示不止这些，这需要随着阅历的增加不断的自己去体悟。

     

• 一个会计写的巴菲特传记

  作者：莱瑞 发布时间：2008-12-19 10:41:25

  上市第一天就买来了，到现在才看完，其实也没看完，最后几章实在没兴趣看了。

  非常的失望，毕竟这是老头唯一参与的一本，巴菲特没有参与之前Roger Lowenstein写的那本《一个美国资本家的成长》。

  我就一直在想怎么就把这边传记给写成这样了，结论是，因为作者Alice Schroeder是个会计（Schroeder worked as a certified public accountant at Ernst & Young from 1980 to 1991），所以把传记写成了财务报表，非常地细节，没有重点。

  如果想了解巴菲特的经历，推荐Lowenstein写的那本传记：

  如果想了解巴菲特的投资哲学，推荐Cunningham整理的那本《巴菲特致股东的信》：

  如果你真想看这本。。。。。。那就看吧，哈哈。
