I know that is one time when they will be really interested in hearing from me.” KnowsHappensDiesWrittenGoes OnNewsLettersDiedHearingYesterdayOne TimeBad NewsShareholders Author:Warren Buffett

“Curiously, the balance seems to come when writing is woven into every aspect of my life, like eating or exercising - one flows constantly into the next: I'll wake up and have coffee, read the news, then write a letter or two (always in longhand), then go teach, and after teaching write a bit in a journal - dreams, what I had for breakfast and lunch and why I had it, what's on the iPod, sexual habits, etc. - then read a bit, then work on a real bit of writing...you get the idea.” WritingTwoIdeasRealDreamSeemsNextBitsTeachTeachingHabitBalanceExerciseEatingNewsAspectFlowLettersWake UpCoffeeEtcBreakfastLunchJournalWovenIpods Author:Kevin Keck

“It is much, much worse to receive bad news through the written word than by somebody simply telling you, and I’m sure you understand why. When somebody simply tells you bad news, you hear it once, and that’s the end of it.
