The perspective of a suicide survivor encountering their lives begins here!""If you're tired of books about Warren Buffett that only discuss stocks, this book is for you!""Why do you want to meet Mr. Buffett?" The question that Warren Buffett's receptionist asked me marked the beginning of this book. However, I couldn't answer it. I didn't know the answer. On a scorching summer day, I visited Mr. Buffett's company, hoping to meet him. I even cleaned the streets around his building, looking for a chance to encounter him. Yet, strangely, whenever I imagined meeting Mr. Buffett, memories of my past self would resurface. Back then, I was an outcast, lagging behind others. One day, I witnessed my friend being bullied, but I turned away. I feared that helping her would make me a target as well. Tragically, my friend ended up jumping from the school building. When I thought of meeting Mr. Buffett, I would always recall the image of my friend's fall. Perhaps, in some way, I had been trapped in that moment. Then, when the receptionist asked why I wanted to meet Mr. Buffett, it felt like the hands of my life's clock started moving again. I opened my mouth and said: "My dream is to become someone like Mr. Buffett someday. If he believes my dream can come true, I hope he'll meet with me." With these words, I handed the receptionist a letter. I had poured the reasons why I wanted to meet Mr. Buffett into that letter. The untold story hidden within that letter now begins.
