What Charlie Munger actually said

  1. Charlie Munger Warren Buffett's business partner and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway
    If he reduces the number of skills he practices and, therefore, the number of skills he retains, he will naturally drift into error from man with a hammer tendency. His learning capacity will also shrink as he creates gaps in the latticework of theory he needs as a framework for understanding new experience.
