Inspiration for the week ahead -- Buffett's 2021 annual shareholder letter

Sharing an inspiring piece for the week ahead. redacted to Warren Buffett's shareholder letter posted yesterday. Read about the wild entrepreneurial successes of See's Candy, National Indemnity, GEICO, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Clayton Homes, Pilot Travel Centers, and more.

A few takeaways:

- "Never bet against America."

- "In its brief 232 years of existenceredactedthere has been no incubator for unleashing human potential like America. Despite some severe interruptions, our country’s economic progress has been breathtaking."

- Success stories abound throughout America. Since our country’s birth, individuals with an idea, ambition and often just a pittance of capital have succeeded beyond their dreams by creating something new or by improving the customer’s experience with something old."

- "Tip your hat to the [...] to the army of successful entrepreneurs who populate every part of our country. These builders needed America’s framework for prosperity – a unique experiment when it was crafted in 1789 – to achieve their potential. In turn, America needed citizensredactedto accomplish the miracles our founding fathers sought."
