Buffett: "Who you associate with is enormously important. And don’t expect to make every decision right on that. But your life is going to progress in the general direction of the people you work with, admire, and befriend."
@TheTranscript_ Guy who pledged his entire fortune to Gates until he learned he had been to Epstein island 15 times Lecturing about character LOL 😉
@TheTranscript_ It’s so true that the people we surround ourselves with can really shape our lives Whether it’s friends, colleagues, or mentors... Their vibes and values can totally influence our own paths. So let’s choose wisely and keep those positive connections close
Buffett once again cuts to the core of something most people underestimate: The trajectory of your life isn’t shaped by goals — it’s shaped by proximity. “Your life is going to progress in the general direction of the people you work with, admire, and befriend.” That’s not just wisdom — it’s a map. Your environment compounds. Every day. Quietly. You don’t need perfect friends, flawless mentors, or ideal colleagues. But you do need to be directionally aligned with people who stretch you — ethically, intellectually, and emotionally. You absorb more than you realize: – Habits. – Standards. – Language. – Risk tolerance. – Even your sense of what’s possible. The wrong circle won’t destroy you overnight. But it’ll dull your edge, normalize mediocrity, and shift your expectations without you noticing. That’s the danger. So Buffett’s advice is brutally practical: Surround yourself with people whose lives you’d quietly trade places with. Not because they’re rich or famous — but because they live with clarity, kindness, and purpose. You become like the people you keep close. And that might just be the most important investment decision you’ll ever make. #Buffett #LifeAdvice #EnvironmentMatters #CharacterCompounds #LongTermWisdom

@TheTranscript_ Absolutely, the people around us shape our mindset and opportunities. Choosing the right company can lead to growth and success in ways we might not even realize! #Wisdom #Networking

@TheTranscript_ Very true, bad company corrupts good manners
@TheTranscript_ Your environment shapes your trajectory. Choose friends and partners with care - they’re like gravity wells pulling you toward their values and ambitions.
@TheTranscript_ If you're young, hang around old people ... If old, just the opposite... life gets interesting then....
