Charlie Munger just passed away. He turned 99 years old. My inclination towards him has been more toward him as a person than a veteran billionaire.
I loved reading about him. If you read the biography, you will know about the odds he had gone through his life, from losing his eye vision to marriage failure to passing away his favorite son. He was a lawyer by education.
It is not that success came to his life without doing anything. He was a voracious reader. I remember his reference to Benjamin Franklin and Epictetus, the stoic philosopher.
