3RD RICHEST MAN WARREN BUFFET
There was this baffling one hour interview on
CNBC with Warren Buffet, the 3rd Richest man
who has Donated $31 billion to charity.*
*Here are some very interesting aspects of his
life:*
1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he
now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with
savings from delivering newspapers
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom
house in mid-town Omaha, which he bought
after he got married 50 years ago. He says
that he has everything he needs in that house.
His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does
not have a driver or security people around
him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he
owns the world's largest private jet company._
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63
companies. He writes only one letter each year
to the CEOs of these companies, giving them
goals for the year. He never holds meetings or
calls them on a regular basis. He has given
his CEO's only two rules.
* Rule number 1: _Do not lose any of your
share holder's money.
* Rule number 2: _Do not forget rule number
1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society
crowd. His past time after he gets home is to
make himself some pop corn and watch
Television.
8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him
for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates
did not think he had anything in common with
Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his
meeting only for half hour. But when Gates
met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and
Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone,
nor has a computer on his desk. His advice to
young people:
"Stay away from credit cards and invest in
yourself and *Remember* that:
A: Money doesn't create man but it is the
man who created money.
B: Live your lives as simple as you are.
C: Don't do what others say, just listen to
them, but do what you feel good.
D: Don't go on brand name; just wear those
things in which u feel comfortable.
E: Don't waste your money on unnecessary
things; just spend,, on them who really in need
rather.
F: After all it's your life so why give chance to
others to rule.
The above may not make you Warren Buffet...
However it will surely make you more
successful and bring you more wisdom. 1 Like |
