Buffett was asked: “What piece of advice would you give to people who are looking to succeed in business?”
He answered: “By far the best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. For example communication skills. Many students take advanced degrees and learn complicated formulas. If they just learned to communicate better, both in writing and in person, they’d increase their value by at least 50%! If you can’t communicate, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark… nothing happens!
It’s relatively easy to learn, but it’s hugely important. And if you invest in yourself, nobody can take it away from you!”
