Q&A with Alice Schroeder, biographer of financial master Warren Buffett

We used the SnowBall book in 402...this is an interview with the author...fascinating

Q&A with Alice Schroeder, biographer of financial master Warren Buffett:
"All of these books that say you can get rich by investing like Warren Buffett, it’s a bunch of baloney. You can’t do it. He’s not only brilliant, but he works like a demon from morning until night and he’s been doing that for 70 years. So, when you see him and you’re around him, you realize the futility of trying to replicate his achievement. It can’t be done. But, at the same time, he lifts your aspirations in many other areas, including being extremely good at whatever it is you are good at. He made me far more focused in my career"
