查理·蒙格 : 把問題徹底想明白，問題就解決一半

股神巴菲特的傳奇合伙人查理．蒙格（Charles Munger），也是他終生摯友，證實於2023年11月28日在美國加州聖塔芭芭拉一間醫院去世，享壽99歲。綽號「窮查理」的他，曾擔任波克夏海克威的副董事長，在57年間為該公司創下19.8%年複合回報率的奇蹟。此外，蒙格最為外界熟知的，是提供給一般人看似普通又寶貴的投資常識，以下集合他歷年來曾談到的金句，重新體會其箇中智慧。

1. 把問題徹底想明白，問題就解決一半。

If you thoroughly understand a problem, you are halfway to solving it.

2. 如果想要在資本主義的世界中取得人生的成功，一定要去競爭少的地方。

To achieve success in a capitalist world, you must go where competition is minimal.

3. 進步不總是肉眼可見，而是往往出現在不經意間，但進步總是源於長期堅持，源於每一天的努力。

Progress is not always visible to the naked eye; it often occurs subtly, driven by long-term persistence and daily effort.

4. 當別人把子彈打光時，你的機會就來了。

7. 如果一生的投資次數有限，你會更認真考慮每一個投資決定，因此你會做得更好。

If your lifetime investment opportunities were limited, you'd consider each decision more carefully and perform better.

8. 所有人潛意識裡都有這樣的偏見：給別人建議時，以為是在為別人考慮，其實是從自己的利益出發。

Everyone subconsciously has this bias: when giving advice, they believe they are considering others but are actually thinking from their own interests.

If you clearly know it's a good opportunity, there's no need for further discussion—just act.

10. 好名聲可以讓人終身受益。

A good reputation can benefit a person for a lifetime.

11. 追求智慧是人類應盡的道德義務，只要有能力就應該去做。
