THOUGHTS FROM THE SOUL

Memories that are kept forever for all of my friends

True or Not??!!??

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

Amazing individual indeed......
