A Quote by Warren Buffett

If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration. — © Warren Buffett
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
I remember so well my father's complete concentration when he went to the studio. Everything he did, every movement he made, he did with complete concentration. Then, after he had finished work, he would go to the beach or whatever, and then he would enjoy play and forget about his work.
Who is a professional? A professional is someone who has a combination of competence, confidence and belief. A water diviner is a professional. A traditional midwife is a professional. A traditional bone setter is a professional. These are professionals all over the world. You find them in any inaccessible village around the world.
My mind wanders terribly. I'm not wholly annoyed by my daydreaming as it has been immense use to me as regards imaginative thought, but it doesn't help when it comes to concentration. And writing needs concentration - lots of it.
I would never advocate the use of dope because, you know, I'm not a professional athlete and I don't have access to the good stuff.
I compare field goal kicking to putting in golf. Both demand concentration and confidence. You make four or five good putts in a row and now you have the confidence that you are playing 'em right. It's the same way with kicking. You drive a few through the uprights and then you have convinced yourself that everything you kick should go through.
Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration.
If you take a job as a public advocate, then you must advocate publicly.
I am a professional creator of online video and I have had that job since the moment of its existence. I'm also something of a professional advocate for, and follower of, online video.
I thought that choosing a non-professional was a condition for me, because it would allow Juliette to have a less-professional way of acting. It would challenge her performance as a professional actress.
I was full of confidence in myself that I would reach the top or be a professional player as a midfielder.
The art schools seem to be trying to turn people out as "professional." But I don't know what the word "professional" means any longer. "Professional" would be somebody who was trying to push painting to a point that nobody else could do as well as he could. That would be my ideal professional.
The danger in media concentration comes not from the concentration, but instead from the feudalism that this concentration, tied to the change in copyright, produces.
People represent their constituencies and have particular interests based on who they are and the experiences that have formed them. You don't have to be a child to be an advocate for children. You don't have to be a woman to be an advocate for women. You don't have to be Hispanic to be an advocate for Hispanics.
My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'
We would like to have every middle and high school become a place where there will be lots of examples of youth competence and confidence.
I worry that the weakness - particularly of our public schools - is going to make that less and less true for everybody. And if we ever lose that as our core, then we're going to lose our confidence. We're not going to lead. We're going to protect. We're going to turn inward. That would be very bad for the world. So as a former Secretary of State, I think I can advocate for education as a national security priority.
