    Yeah, I'm not sure that Buffet's workday really resembles what most would agree constitutes work. 'Becoming Warren Buffet' on Netflix gives you an idea. He spends most of his day reading. I think there is something in that for anyone who wants to grow and develop. I'm not sure I'd call this work in any traditional sense.

    Warren Buffett’s reading routine could make you smarter, science suggests

    You've got to respect the person who continues to work hard on themselves, even though they don't have to.
    Jim Rohn had a good saying stating exactly this:
    Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

    If more people did this, they could save themselves almost a lifetime of unnecessary work that they don't enjoy.

    Money is the score, and they play to win.

    Also for a few of those comments I'll also deduct "Never tell what you're really thinking or motivated by".
