The thing I like her talk is not only she properly called the market when HSI was at 31,000; but her attitude on money and happiness. She talked in Cantonese, which is foreign to me, but it has English caption 🙂

Jason Zweig wrote an article about the secret behind Buffett’s success on WSJ. Here is the Chinese translation.
