Happiness comes from the mindset, and our learning from Buffett's wisdom is not to become the next Buffett, but to become a better version of ourselves.

At the conference, someone asked Buffett how he views the low points in life.

Buffett was quite practical: bad things will always happen, focus more on the good.

In his lifetime, the old man certainly had his share of worries. Stock market crashes, investment mistakes, being questioned by others... but he understands to adjust his 'spotlight' to focus on what he already has.

For example, he happily said at the conference that at 94 years old, he can still enjoy his favorite Coke anytime, anywhere, which is a pretty wonderful thing.

Another example is that many people complain about being born at the wrong time. But Buffett would say, look at history. When would you prefer to be born? 1500 years ago, 1000 years ago, 500 years ago, or now?

Compared to any period in history, we are very fortunate to live in this era. We can use electricity, ride in cars, learn freely, and have opportunities to start our own businesses, even if it's very challenging. This, in itself, is an enormous blessing.

Many people are unhappy not because they have too little, but because they want too much. What’s the result? The more they compare, the more anxious they become, and the more disheartened they feel.

Your sense of happiness may depend on where you place your attention.

If your eyes are fixed on what you lack, all you see are regrets; if your heart is filled with what you have, you will feel abundance.
