We are just so close.. it hurts

We are just so close that it hurts and hurts real bad. I am all in for change and I see it everywhere sprouting up like spring flower in a field. Today I was reading about Charlie Munger. Most here probably don't know this gentlemen but he is the partner to Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway and probably one of the ten wealthiest people on the planet. Munger was describing Li Lu as a potential replacement for Buffett when he retires. Li Lu was a leader of the Tiananmen square revolution who fled to the US to become a successful businessman. On the face of it, he appears to have 'second-tier' tendencies as well. Every time I read something from Mr. Munger I can't help thinking that he is integral without knowing that he's integral. 

One can imagine a scenario where Munger, like many of us, stumbles across a copy of "Brief History of Everything" and shares it with -> Buffett -> Gates -> Gates Foundation, and away we go. There is so much wealth, power and philanthropic spirit with these guys that I think it's possible. Sure, I'm hoping, dreaming and shadow hugging here and most folks probably can't relate because of lack of knowledge of these gentlemen, but this is the only place where I could write something like this and have a chance of someone nodding their head. Whew, that feels better a little better..thank you.
