ILLUSTRATION. Warren Buffett: These three daily habits distinguish successful people from daydreaming
Source: Inc. | Editor: I knew Laoli
KONTAN.CO.ID – Legendary investor Warren Buffett is not only good at managing his portfolio in the stock market, but his advice on life has inspired many.
We have to agree that Buffett’s humble life and business lessons are not only legendary, they have profound effects on many people.
Some of Buffett’s wise advice is purely very sensible. For example advice:
You just have to do the right thing in your life as long as you do not do too much wrong. (You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong).

So, if you minimize your failures (with the full understanding that you have to fail in order to be successful) you can achieve levels of success you could never have imagined by getting things right over and over again.
The next question should be: What are the real things? Now, we should probably consult Buffett on this matter. We may think that we need to devise a great strategy from complex ideas, but Buffett himself is famous for saying,
“You don’t have to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.” (It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.)

Three ways Buffett cultivates good habits
Some of the greatest successes in life come from everyday habits that we practice with commitment and conviction. The obstacles on your way to success may be too focused on results and not enough on the habits that will get you there.
Here are three that Buffett echoes. Those good habits have worked for him. Will they work for you?
1. Surround yourself with the right people
Buffett said this several years ago when he spoke to some college students, “You’re going to move toward the people you relate to. So it’s important to connect with people who are better than you.”
As the well-known saying goes, we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. And depending on who you hang out with at work, that can potentially interfere with your thinking, your belief system, and the way you make decisions.
