Ở tuổi 99, tỷ phú Charlie Munger chia sẻ bí quyết số 1 để sống lâu, hạnh phúc: ‘Bằng mọi giá, hãy tránh xa sự điên rồ’

-----

When pressed for his keys to a long and successful life, Munger at first demurred (ngần ngại, do dự, lưỡng lự, chần chừ), saying “I don’t know the secret.” Then, he added that he’d avoided major catastrophes (tai ương, tai biến, thảm hoạ, tai hoạ lớn) in his life because he was “so cautious,” always avoiding obvious risks in his personal life and career.

“Crazy is way more common than you think,” said Munger. “It’s easy to slip into crazy. Just avoid it, avoid it, avoid it.”

What exactly constituted “crazy,” in Munger’s estimation? “My partner Charlie says there is only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies and leverage,” Buffett told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in 2018.

... As far as other definitions of “crazy,” Munger clarified his general stance on personal vices: If it can “take that many fine people into deep trouble,” stay away from it. That included smoking and drinking to the point of alcoholism, he said — noting a prevalence (sự phổ biến, sự thịnh hành, sự lan khắp, sự thường thấy) of alcoholics and “near alcoholics” in his own family.

“My game in life was always to avoid all standard ways of failing,” said Munger.
