“My father had been in the military and he was a weapons specialist, so he had an affinity for weapons but also for the discipline of it. He taught us how to shoot when we were young.

“We try to exert a Ted Williams kind of discipline. In his book The Science of Hitting, Ted explains that he carved the strike zone into 77 cells, each the size of a baseball. Swinging only at balls in his "best" cell, he knew, would allow him to bat .400; reaching for balls in his "worst" spot, the low outside corner of the strike zone, would reduce him to .230. In other words, waiting for the fat pitch would mean a trip to the Hall of Fame; swinging indiscriminately would mean a ticket to the minors.” TryingKindMeanBookWaitingWorstDisciplineFameLowsBaseballBallsInvestingSizeCornersStrikesFatsSpotsCellsReachingZoneHallsHittingMinorsTicketsBatsHall Of FameDiversification Author:Warren Buffett
