THE MAGIC MANTRA FOR ALL:

 

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second

richest man in the world, and 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, that

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.

 

7) 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.

 

8) 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.

 

9) 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.

 

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his

desk.

 

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in

yourself.
