Warren Buffett Shares Experience

 Warren Buffett gave investing advice to investigative journalist Bob Woodward, bought 100 Microsoft shares after meeting Bill Gates, and made a $37 billion acquisition because of a chance encounter, he told David Rubenstein in an interview for "How to Lead: Wisdom from the World's Greatest CEOs, Founders, and Game Changers."

Rubenstein, the cofounder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, published the book in September. He spoke to Buffett, a billionaire investor and the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, in 2016.

Here are Buffett's 10 best quotes from the interview:
