Are You Simpler Than A Fifth Grader?

“If you’re prepared to invest in a company, then you ought to be able to explain why in simple language that a fifth grader could understand, and quickly enough to the fifth grader won’t get bored.” – Peter Lynch

That wisdom goes beyond investing. At some point, if it takes too long to explain yourself, then you may just be fooling yourself.

Someone recently asked me if I’d gone agnostic (“there is no God”) since I stopped going to church. Answer: Nope. I thank God regularly for such a great life. More than I did when I went to church. What fits some doesn’t fit all.
