The Man Who Taught Us to Play the Long Game
Charlie Munger, the legendary investor and Warren Buffett’s right-hand man, has left us at 99.
He didn’t hit 100, but he had a full and beautiful life.
A beautiful life of colors, dollars, quotes, laughter, See’s chocolates and numbers.
And the numbers are impressive.
Berkshire Hathaway’s whopping $780B worth and Munger’s $3B fortune.
This story is about the man who reshaped investment philosophy, one wise quip at a time.
Honestly, for a long time, all I heard about Charlie was his incredibly sharp, witty, caustic and downright piercing words.
He laughs at his critics, derided people who believes in Bitcoin and inhales See’s chocolates like a greedy gremlin.
At his age, I am amazed at his mental acuity, alertness and vibes.
Charlie’s genius wasn’t just in picking stocks; it was in picking brains.

At his age, I am amazed at his mental acuity, alertness and vibes.
Charlie’s genius wasn’t just in picking stocks; it was in picking brains.
He steered Buffett away from bargain-bin buys to investing in quality businesses.
His mantra? “Buy a wonderful company at a fair price.”
Simple, yet revolutionary.
Before Charlie, Buffett was all about those ‘cigar butts’ — cheap, low-quality companies.
Munger changed the game.
Their partnership was more than just business.
In a 2018 CNBC interview, Buffett said, “Charlie made me a better person.”
Charlie left law for investing because, as he put it, he wanted “an independent life.”
And what a life it was!
His love for reading and relentless self-improvement is legendary.
He believed in becoming ‘a little wiser every day’ through reading.
Charlie’s life wasn’t a smooth ride.
Broke at 31, dealing with personal tragedies, losing an eye, he’s the poster boy for resilience.
He rebuilt his life, becoming one of the richest and most respected business thinkers.
His wisdom was priceless:
“The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting.”
“Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.”
“The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.”
Charlie’s teachings are like bedtime stories for any wall street trader or investor.
They’re life lessons.
He advised us to avoid envy, resentment, and to stay cheerful. Simple, yet profound.
Berkshire Hathaway now faces a future without its sage.
The next generation, led by Greg Abel, will have to fill Munger-sized shoes.
Charlie’s legacy?
It’s not just in the billions of dollars or the empire he helped build.
It’s in the lessons he taught, the wisdom he shared, and the lives he influenced.
Perhaps no one can replace a Charlie Munger.
It is just not possible.
Charlie taught us that success is not just about wealth or fame.
It’s about resilience, wisdom, and impacting lives.
Having the dedication to do the research, having the stones to make a decision and having the conviction to be extremely patience about it.
It’s about playing the long game.
So, ask yourself: how long a game are you playing?
