Many people cannot understand foreign billionaires who donate vast amounts to charity. When it was announced that Warren Buffett would give away 99% of his personal wealth, some questioned whether his descendants would be upset. Yet Buffett's youngest son Peter, a music lover, was once refused a loan from his father before moving to Milwaukee and had to borrow from a bank instead. Peter reflected that what he learned during the repayment process far exceeded what he would have gained from an interest-free loan. In hindsight, his father's approach was entirely correct.

The world is like the elusive Sumida River; never underestimate life.
The only heroism in the world is to recognize the truth of life and yet continue to love it.
