Buffet的話令我想起香港政府的宣傳。政府每推政策，原因一定包括”多數發達國家都在做” (e.g. GST), “Everybody is doing it”. “Why would somebody offer such a rationale for an act if there were a good reason available?”

I’m so glad that you have brought to the attention of your blog readers Warren Buffet’s recent writings and their underlying meaning. Such coverage is not lacking in Western media for sure, but it’s definitely not the preference for the local media. This one-of-a-kind mega-rich man deserves to be put on a morality pedestal. In a society and era that worships self-interest at all costs, Buffet is a radiant example who puts moral principles before profit. He is also someone who practises what he preaches. Therefore he could build up a good culture in his organization. After all, a company can only be as good as its leader(s). One wonders why Hong Kong opinion leaders don’t choose to cover Buffet’s actions as widely as possible. More than anything else, the Hong Kong corporate world needs a big dose of moral teachings, if only to set a good example for their corrupt mainland counterparts.

哲學家，這不只是高調了，你甚至可以說是有點「臭串」，但畢菲特應該串得起。他把八成半身家捐出，大部份是捐予Bill Gates伉儷的慈善基金，Bill Gates曾建議把畢菲特的名字加入為基金名稱（情況跟李生捐錢獲學院命名權差不多），但畢菲特堅拒接受，卻講到明要Bill Gates夫婦親自管理基金，否則可取回捐款。畢菲特的怕的是甚麼呢？他是信不過一般的經理人，因為他們面對如此龐大的財富，很少人能那麼光明磊落，一般人一定會過手濕腳，他們會說：「Everyone else is doing that.」

我覺得畢菲特這樣說不算陳義過高，而是務實理智，概念有點像廉政公署提出的「陽光測試」，最終壞事被抖出來時，你會否能心安理得。正如備忘錄提及，畢菲特有不少業務其實與金融保險業息息相關，巧妙的會計處理手法，可令公司業績腐朽化神奇，CEO們是如實報告，還是巧立明目？一子錯滿盤皆落索，要警惕的正是終有一天紙包不住火的風險。

When you have to take a decision in Life, in your professional life, take the one that makes you sleep better not the one that makes you eat better.
- Ed Lew, Former President of the Society of Actuaries

CEO們選擇正直守法，並不是假惺惺，而不過是保命之策，可避免他們要惶惶不可終日。Worldcom與Enron事件，就是教訓。

好像聽說你是教商業倫理的，不知哲學家有何高見，可防止巴郡旗下公司的董事們，走上Enron的歪路？

>We can afford to lose money. We can afford to lose a lot of money. But we cannot afford to lose one shed of our reputation. Make sure everything you do can be reported on the front page of your local newspaper, written by an unfriendly but intelligent reporter.

太高調了吧. 能不能正常一點, 承認人性也有它的黑暗面?
尤其是富可敵國的CEO們, 有那麼多的誘惑, 有那麼大的財力. 真的能那麼光明磊落? 太假惺惺了.

都有朋友問我有無興趣，但據說（數天前的情況）只餘下最貴的480元票。我覺得太貴了。久石讓是作曲家不是演奏家，我其實有點猶疑聽LIVE是否真的值得。你呢？你買了票嗎？

我其實最近來問朋友會否有興趣一起多香港藝術節的節目，如波希米亞人生、莫斯科愛樂及1984。
