Warren Buffet - In His Own Words

This book is a compilation of sayings from Warren Buffet. He has a certain theory on stock investing. In general, he wants to buy stock in a company and keep it forever. The companies he is interested in are ones that can be profitable now and 100 years from now. He tries to compute the value of a company, and buy as much stock in the company when the price is a lot less than the value.

Buffet says that his investments are at a huge scale. It is hard for him to make huge gains based on how much stock he is purchasing. However for a regular investor, he thinks there is ample opportunity at a small scale to really clean up financially.

Buffet plans to give away the majority of his riches when he dies. He has partnered with Bill Gates to distribute the funds to worthy causes. Buffet's kids won't get rich from their dad's money.

Rise Up

The full title of this book is Rise Up - The #Merky Story So Far. It documents the life of Stormzy, who is a British singer. I originally know him from his collaboration with Little Mix on the single Power. The book mentions this collaboration.

Stormzy comes from a poor neighborhood in Britain. He was raised by a single mother from Ghana. Although he admits he was a naughty kid in school, he was obviously smart and went to college. He is known as an early and popular singer in the grime style of music.

In the beginning, Stormzy and his crew had little to no money. He sung at local events. His early songs were released on YouTube. His first album ended up at #1 on the week when it was released. He knew Ed Sheeran before Ed became huge. He won a couple awards related to being the best grime artist of the year for a couple years.
