He does talk about his good fortune.
Buffett says he feels lucky to have been born in the United States, lucky to have found what he loves doing very early in life, and "extremely lucky in that the two most important people to me in my life, my dad and my wife ... they both extended to me unconditional love. And there's no power on earth in my view like unconditional love."
