benhacker Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry, but I figure someone can help me here, I think it was some investment person, maybe Buffett that said the follow (paraphrased): "The more recklessly those around you carry out their business, the more carefully you must carry out yours." Any help appreciated on finding the source. Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UhuruPeak Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I don't see any response yet but I don't want you to think everyone is ignoring either. I have never heard that sentence, paraphrased or not. I googled it but since it was not a direct quote, I didn't get any good response either. Sorry...

barminov Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 "The less prudence with which others conduct their affairs, the greater the prudence with which we should conduct our own affairs." -WEB I've run into it before but I just read it in Donald Keough's book "The Ten Commandments for Business Failure." Very good book by the way for those that haven't read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
