Sharing an inspiring piece for the week ahead. Here's a link 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 existence###-###-#### there 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 citizens###-###-#### to accomplish the miracles our founding fathers sought."
