I am very interested in Munger's growth history and relationship, but I can't find ready-made information. I organized it according to poor Charlie's collection.
start from scratch

I worked in Buffett's son's shop when I was a child. (Later, Buffett worked again, and the hard work of Buffett's grocery store benefited Charlie and Warren for life. )
Go to Dundee Primary School, where my two sisters also go to school. He likes to question the secular wisdom of teachers and classmates with more and more knowledge gained by reading various books (especially biographies).
I am interested in medicine because I came into contact with various medical books of Dr. Davis in my early days.
When I was a child, I liked to keep hamsters and used my keen negotiation ability to "over-trade" with other children. Keep up to 35 animals.
Attending Central High School, a very large public school, is considered as a good pre-university school. Learn very well.
Primary school and junior high school went to school early, so they were not competitive in regular sports and won the Excellence Award in the shooting team.
194 1 year, I studied at the university of Michigan, chose mathematics as my major, and then fell in love with physics. Charlie spoke highly of physics. He often said that anyone who wants to succeed should study physics, because its concepts and formulas beautifully show the power of correct theory. Charlie is keen on solving problems by physical methods. He thinks this is an effective skill to deal with all kinds of life problems.
19 years old, joined the US Army Aviation Corps after his sophomore year. Go to the University of New Mexico to study natural science and engineering; After studying thermodynamics and meteorology at California Institute of Technology, he was assigned to a permanent military base in Nome, Alaska.

Charlie worked hard in a law firm and realized that his income could not meet him. With Nancy's support, he made an external investment.
