The funny thing is that since this guy died at 99yo it means that 30 years ago he was still an old 70yo man. Screws with my brain sometimes


30 years ago I was in diapers and barely aware of what was going on around me. This old man was still an old man.

Youth really is fleeting.


> Youth really is fleeting.

So is all of life.

As an aside, it does aggravate me that so many companies have reverted back to the 2 digit year after going through so much Y2K refactoring.


It was revised and updated by Munger - it's better than the original because it has more experience and information. The old one is fine too, but is harder to read and a bit more dated.


Others will find the speech (transcript) more direct.
