I was up at Harvard a while back, and a very nice young guy, he picked me up at the airport, a Harvard Business School attendee.”
And he said, “Look. I went to undergrad here, and then I worked for X and Y and Z, and now I’ve come here.” And he said, “I thought it would really round out my résumé perfectly if I went to work now for a big management consulting firm.”
And I said, “Well, is that what you want to do?” And he said, “No,” but he said, “That’s the perfect résumé.”
And I said, “Well when are you going to start doing what you like?” And he said, “Well I’ll get to that someday.”
And I said, “Well you know, your plan sounds to me a lot like saving up sex for your old age. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense.” – Warren Buffett
