What If You Judged People the Way Warren Buffett Invested in Stocks?

Imagine learning the major disciplines and essential life skills - directly from the world’s leading experts.

Sounds like MasterClass, right?

Not quite. Even better - and completely free.

It’s a virtual class - with G-d as your personal mentor. He guides you using what you see and hear around you, turning the world into a stage and real-time props.

He also offers a paradigm rooted in the Torah, ensuring we receive the right message with clarity and accuracy.

This week, Warren Buffett - widely regarded as the greatest investor of his era - announced he will step down by the end of the year.

He once said “The stock market is designed to transfer money from the Active to the Patient.”

Most of us are naturally impatient. We seek minimal effort and maximum return, often hoping for success or wealth to arrive overnight. This mindset also shapes how we judge—quickly, and without due thought.

We often carry the same tendencies into our relationships. We make snap judgments when meeting new people - and even with friends we think we know, we rarely offer the full benefit of the doubt.

We should approach our relationships the same way Warren Buffett approached equities. He invested time and effort to understand a company’s true worth. He wasn’t shaken by short-term dips in share price—his focus was always on inherent value.

Likewise, we shouldn’t rush to judge people. Beneath the surface, there is often far more value - if we’re patient enough to discover it.

This advice appears at the very beginning of Ethics of the Fathers: “Be deliberate in judgment.” If taken to heart, it has the power to transform our lives.
