大夫曰：「卒徒工匠，以縣官日作公事，財用饒，器用備。家人合會，褊於日而勤於用，鐵力不銷煉，堅柔不和。故有司請總鹽、鐵，一其用，平其賈，以便百姓公私。雖虞、夏之為治，不易於此。吏明其教，工致其事，則剛柔和，器用便。此則百姓何苦？而農夫何疾？」

"Ah, gentlemen," I said, "there is the point. A little more money and you could have had the indestructible wrought-iron and your bridge would stand against any steamboat. We never have built and we never will build a cheap bridge. Ours don't fall."

But I’ve also had many pleasant surprises in both the potential of the business as well as the ability and fidelity of the manager. And our experience is that a single winning decision can make a breathtaking difference over time. (Think GEICO as a business decision, Ajit Jain as a managerial decision and my luck in finding Charlie Munger as a one-of-a-kind partner, personal advisor and steadfast friend.) Mistakes fade away; winners can forever blossom.
