OUR CULTURE

Take a simple idea
and take it seriously.

The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders.

01 / MISSION

Water the flowers and skip over the weeds.

Two young partners water and gently firm soil around short, upward-curled banknotes in a simple sunlit garden

Plant money where it can take root and grow.

The partners tend three growing curled banknotes and two young trees bearing one and three gold coins

Every $1 of retained earnings was always worth more than $1.

02 / VISION

A lifetime savings and compounding vehicle for partners.

Two lifelong partners walk through an orchard of gold-coin trees, with upward-curled banknotes growing in the foreground

03 / VALUES

Think Independently.
Think Correctly.

When proper temperament joins with proper intellectual framework, then you get rational behavior.

The partners inspect soil and choose where to plant curled banknotes while a small distant group follows a separate path

Temperament

You’re neither right nor wrong because people agree with you or disagree with you.

The partners measure a curled banknote and adjust watering, with a small notebook recording their observations

Intellectual framework

You're right because your facts and reasoning are right.

THOUGHT INTO ACTION

“If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim”

Rudyard Kipling · If—

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . .

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting . . .

If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim . . .

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you . . .

Rudyard Kipling, If—.
Selected and rearranged by Warren Buffett in his letter to Berkshire shareholders, 24 February 2018.
