Well EquityBuff, I got to know about Buffet very late in my life (only 2 years back, I'm 40 now). I wish I could have known about him when I was younger in 20s.
Since that time, my whole outlook changed, not only towards investments, but also towards life. For me, he is a legend, God-like figure (by the way, I'm an Atheist). I have highest regard and respect for this gentleman who has donated huge sum recently to the Gates Foundation!
Even if we try to adopt few of of his thoughts in everyday life, it will make a profound change for sure. My family members often pull my leg for being such a staunch Buffet fan.
Since last 2 years I have been reading whatever I lay hands on about Buffet: books, articles, references, net sites etc. Most of his teachings and preachings are through witty remarks and anecdotes.
I strongly recommend reading his annual reports, letters to shareholders available for free download from his company website:
