legendary investor Arnold Van Den Berg’s life, when I read his inspirational words: I always had this image of myself that I wasn’t very smart, and the way I did in school proved that I wasn’t.

But if I spend three times as much time as anybody else, then I’m equal. I can learn it, just give me more time, more books.2
