Kingswell also linked to this, you end up running out of superlatives :
 

"Charlie Munger, who died in November within sight of his 100th birthday on Jan. 1, fell ill at his home in Santa Barbara. When he got to the hospital, a nurse asked him how he was. 'I’m dying,' he said. 'How are you?'" 
 

https://diocesela.org/the-bishops-blog/charlie-munger-memorial/

 

 

Someone once asked if he knew how to play the piano. “I don’t know,” he said. “I’ve never tried.” 

 

Another classic.

Thanks @nwoodman. This heart warming nugget from the Bishop's blog: "Emilie also said he placed a call from his hospital bed to Warren Buffett, his friend since 1959 and longtime business partner."

Your spirit still lives on Charlie.

Halford still has a set of pipes! Looks kind of like he's sitting in a wheelchair here (but he's not).

 

 

 

Too bad he doesn't mention Charlie in the lyrics.

I was looking at this off-road 911 Dakar and was happy to see the Charlie Munger quote and painting behind it -

Awesome! Do you know if/where we can buy a copy of Charlie's painting? I would love to copy this guy's wall.

Someone on Reddit (a self proclaimed noob) asked how to apply Grahams criteria in todays world.

This was the best answer I could find. RIP you old GOAT!

Thanks for posting this @DooDiligence

The son of a friend of mine just got into USC to major in psychology. I sent him this Munger classic. Of course it's familiar to us but not as familiar as it should be to the outside world. 

 

My assumption is 1) if he imbibes these lessons he will walk into his first class way ahead of the game; 2) He won't read it. 

 

I have sent this to people I was sure would get a lot out of it, and never once did I get positive feedback. Maybe Charlie's style is too difficult for people? It's a mystery to me.

 

Has anyone else had this experience? Anyway, here it is, I post it in homage to Munger, who changed my life.

@Libs - Asking anyone to read...much less read multiple pages -- in this scrolling society is not going to happen. It's sad...

Changed my life too. His speech "How to Guarantee a Life of Misery" influenced my decision to stop drinking alcohol.

 

It amazes me too that more people don't emulate Buffett and Munger and use their principles to increase their success in life. When I discovered them both it felt like the key to an unfair secret advantage.

 

Many people I know say they don't have time to read, but endlessly scroll on social media, wasting their lives.
