# After a month of continuous operations, I decided to stick to long-termism.

It is said that one morning in 2000, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos called Warren Buffett and asked, "You are the second richest person in the world, and your investment system is so simple. Why don't others do the same thing?" Buffett replied, "Because no one wants to get rich slowly." Bezos suddenly realized that those who focus on the long term have a huge competitive advantage over those who focus on the short term, which further strengthened his belief in focusing on the long term and ignoring the short term.
