Peets' Philosophy

Post by Tiki Bar »

My parent-teacher conference the other day reminded me of this, so I dug it up to share again.

I read that Mrs Buffett gave it to all of her kids the Christmas before she passed away. I believe a copy of it hangs in LuLu's, and I see they now sell t-shirts with it on it. Good stuff!

Peets' Philosophy

1. Read often, including the classics.

2. Accept everyone for who they are, not what they do.

3. Be well-travelled.

4. Learn to be a listener.

5. Live by the sea.

6. Listen to your spirit and find joy.

7. Education, like money, doesn't make you happy ~ but it sure helps.

8. Love and Family are the best things we have.

Do not resent growing old. Many are denied the privilege.

Hey the mountains aren't that bad either. :P

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
