[Warren Buffett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren%5FBuffett?ref=kudithipudi.org) in his [farewell letter](https://kudithipudi.org/content/files/www-berkshirehathaway-com/news/nov1025.pdf) on kindness

I wish he sticks around a long time even though he is giving up his oversight role at Berkshire and continues to share his wisdom.

His letter is also a masterclass in great writing. Each paragraph is less than 5 sentences, and each page has less than 10 paragraphs. All written in simple to understand language.
