And can I ever bid these joys farewell?
Yes, I must pass them for a nobler life,
Where I may find the agonies, the strife
Of human hearts.
那么，我能否把这些欢乐舍弃？
是的，我必须抛开这些，去追寻
更崇高的生活，去发现人类心灵
深处的痛苦和撞击。
Sleep and Poetry | 约翰·济慈

If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
just call my name
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
whenever you need me
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
just call my name
I'll be there...

【The Next 50 Years at Berkshire-伯克希尔未来50年】

To further ensure continuation of our culture, I have suggested that my son, Howard, succeed me as a nonexecutive Chairman. My only reason for this wish is to make change easier if the wrong CEO should ever be employed and there occurs a need for the Chairman to move forcefully. I can assure you that this problem has a very low probability of arising at Berkshire – likely as low as at any public company. In my service on the boards of nineteen public companies, however, I’ve seen how hard it is to replace a mediocre CEO if that person is also Chairman. (The deed usually gets done, but almost always very late.)
为了继续保证我们文化的延续性，我建议我的儿子，霍华德，接替我作为公司的非执行主席。我希望如此的唯一原因是，如果错误的 CEO 被聘用，需要主席强制解聘他，改变起来会更加简单。我可以对你们保证，这个问题在伯克希尔发生概率很低——就像在任何上市公司发生的概率一样低。然而，在我所服务的十九家上市公司的董事会中，我曾见过要替代一个平庸的CEO 是多么困难，如果那人又是主席的话。(换人行为通常会完成，但是几乎总是非常晚。)
