Honestly this article seems more just a collection of funny Warren Buffett quotes than actual lessons or advice. Title feels almost misleading in my opinion (not blaming you, OP, I know it's the same title as the article).
Like a lot of the 'sharpest lessons' in this list are just quippy one-liners that don't really apply to the average person. Some of them I take issues with (like encouraging people to work til they're 100), but the tone of the article doesn't really feel too serious or practical.
Edit: Coincidentally I just came across this article from AP News that is very similar (I'm sure a lot of places are doing articles like this today since it's his last day in charge of Berkshire Hathaway). Anyways, this one was a bit shorter but feels a lot more practical/applicable to the average reader. Even includes a few of the same quotes as The Guardian's article.
