Legendary investor and billionaire Warren Buffett has a tip for young people: Focus on learning how to write and speak clearly.

"If you can't communicate, it's like winking at a girl in the dark — nothing happens. You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it," Buffett continues.
