Warren Buffet words -2nd richest man in the world
"I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. "
Excellence,........ I can reach for. " Perfection is God's Business"................WB.
Warren Buffet
There was a one hour interview on CNBC recently 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 aged 11, and he now regrets that he started too late!
2.. He bought a small farm aged 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. Out side of 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 shareholder's money".
Rule number 2:" Do not forget-The rule number 1".
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His pass time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch TV.
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: -
A. Money doesn't create a man; it is the Man who created money.
B. Live your life 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 for a brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; Just spend on "Those who really are in need".
F. After all it's your life..., so why give the chance to others to rule your life."

BEWARE
One lady's handbag which contained her mobile, credit card,purse.. .etc....was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby,telling him what happened. Husband says, "I've just received your SMS asking about your Pinnumber. And I've replied a little while ago". When they rushed down to the bank. Bank staff told them all the money was alreadywithdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to sms"hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 mins hehad withdrawn all the money from the bank account. Moral: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people inyour contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby,sweetheart, Jaanu, Dad, Mum etc..................and very importantly, when sensitive infois being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back . Forward this toall your well wishers, so that they'll be careful too must read it canhappen with anyone.....

BEST FORWARD
Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba were in the habit of working for nearly 12 to 18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on a project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job. One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm. His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office early today. The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 p.m Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss,, He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry. The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about Children??? Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has taken the children to the exhibition. What had really happened was the boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it is done, loyalty is established. That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous. By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was???????? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . He was A P J Abdul Kalam.
WHO YOU ARE
A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in High School by telling them the difference each of them had made. She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First, she told each of them how they had made a difference to her, and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon, imprinted with gold letters, which read, "Who I Am Makes a Difference." Afterwards, the teacher decided to do a class project, to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a Community. She gave each of the students three more blue ribbons, and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony. Then they were to follow up on the results,see who honored whom, and report!back to the class in about a week.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior executive in a nearby Company, and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon, and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons and said, "We're doing a class project on recognition, and we'd like for you to go out, find somebody to honor, give them a blue ribbon, then give them the extra blue ribbon so they can acknowledge a third person, to keep this acknowledgment ceremony going. Then please report!back to me and tell me what happened."
Later that day, the junior executive went in to see his boss,who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a grouchy fellow. He sat his boss down, and he told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior executive asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon, and would he give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, "Well, sure." The junior executive took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss's jacket, above his heart. As he gave him the last extra ribbon, he said, "Would you take this extra ribbon, and pass it on by honoring somebody else. The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing a project in school, and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going and find out how it affects people."
That night, the boss came home to his 14-year-old son, and sat him down. He said, "The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office, and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me, and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine! He thinks I'm a creative genius! Then he put this blue ribbon that says, "Who I Am Makes a Difference", on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon, and I thought about you. I want to honor you. My days are really hectic and when I come home, I don't pay lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school, and for your bedroom being a mess. But somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and, well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You're a great kid, and I love you!"
The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn't stop crying. His whole body shook. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, "Dad, earlier tonight I sat in my room and wrote a letter to you and Mom, explaining why I had killed myself, and I asked you to forgive me. I was going to commit suicide tonight after you were asleep. I just didn't think that you cared at all. The letter is upstairs. I don't think I need it after all."
His father walked upstairs and found a heartfelt letter full of anguish and pain. The boss went back to work a changed man. He was no longer a grouch, but made sure to let all of his employees know that they made a difference. The junior executive helped several other young people with career planning, and never forgot to let them know that they made a difference in his life......one being the boss' son.
And the young boy and his classmates learned a valuable lesson, "Who you are DOES make a difference".
You are under no obligation to pass this on to anyone, not to two people, or to two hundred.
You can forget it and move on. On the other hand, if you want, you could send it to all of the people who mean something to you, or send it to the one, two, or three people who mean the most. Or, just smile and know that someone thinks that you are important, or you wouldn't have received this in the first place.
Who you are does make a difference, and I wanted you to know that.
I'm passing the blue ribbon to you, for Who YOU are does make a difference.
