Incident: Asked by Benjamin Graham to replace him

When Warren Buffet was about 25 years old, he was asked by his hero Benjamin Graham to replace him as the leader of his investment agency. Buffet, who had exponentially increased his investment records within few years of leaving college, was considering going back to Omaha and settling down. Eventually, Buffet did leave to Omaha and on the request of some friends and relatives to manage their money, he started his entrepreneurial career. “Although I had no idea, age 25 was a turning point. I was changing my life, setting up something that would turn into a fairly good-size partnership called Berkshire Hathaway. I wasn’t scared. I was doing something I liked, and I’m still doing it,” says Buffet.
