Lessons From The 3rd Richest Man by Benard94(m): 6:43pm On Aug 05, 2016
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.
