Interesting aspects of World's 2nd richest man--Warren Buffet

"I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's Business"




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. 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:

A. Money doesn't create 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 brand name; just wear those things in which u 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 chance to others to rule your life."

A good reminder of God's Love. . .

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the
Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and
hand out Gospel tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and
his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold
outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest
and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"

"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad
responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people
still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"

Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather."
Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"

His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here
are the tracts, be careful son."

"Thanks Dad!"

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. his eleven year old
boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing
everybody he met in the street a Gospel tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled
wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner
and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally
deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the
sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell,
but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered.
He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something
stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell
and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something
holding him there on the front porch! He rang again and this time the
door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking
elderly lady.
She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant
eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am,
I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS
REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel
tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE."

With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She
called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the
pulpit. As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have any testimony or
want to say anything?"

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her
feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her
face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You
see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on
some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.
Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more
so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had
any hope or will to live.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic
of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then
stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my
neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about
to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs
startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go
away." I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get
louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started
knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this
be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope
from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang
louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for
there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I
had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to
you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that
had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a
cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES
LOVE YOU." Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I
closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel tract. Then I
went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing
them any more.

You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your
church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I havecome here to personally
say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and
by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor
to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad
descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was
seated.

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this
universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for
his son. Except for One.

Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world.
He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted
praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne
far above all principality and power and every name that is named.

How To Be Happy (from Shareen)

Everyone just wants to be happy. That's why people go on diets, spend too much money for clothes, or suck up to popular people - because they think it will make them happy! Happiness can be a "comfortable-good" or an "excited-good" or a "chilled-out-good" because it has many flavours and faces, depending on whom you are with, or what you are doing. However, if you get to know all different people, you will see what makes the happiest people happy.
Steps

1. Change your thought process. If you catch yourself thinking that things aren't going to work out, then think again. Remember that most things work out better than you fear - so imagine that your fears are ungrounded and that success is ahead. Rather than thinking of the problems and getting desperate, imagine the best outcome and then work out what you need to do to make that happen. Follow your "inner guidance system." If the thoughts you are thinking are not giving you a good feeling, then think about something else that will make you feel good in that moment. Monitor your thoughts consistently throughout the day. Sometimes this may not be as easy as you think if you are stuck in a "negative" train of thought and your brain chemicals are getting fired up and forming an "anxiety or anger" pathway. Anxiety, fear and anger patterns can be interrupted by focusing on doing a math problem, counting backwards, counting in odd numbers, doing a sudoku puzzle, etc. - this will dissipate the rush of chemicals that are making you feel bad. Immediately then go back to picturing scenes/remembering things/imagining, planning stuff that makes you feel GOOD.

2. See the world for what it really is. You have friends and family that love you. Learn How to be thankful. Think of all the things you have to be happy about. Relax, calm down, take things slower. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. We cannot change the past, but we can enjoy today, and look to the future. But if we are prepared to take credit for the past and accept that everything that happened in our life, good and bad, has made us the person we are - the battle is half won.

3. Lighten up. Don't take yourself too seriously. Stress can cause many mental, physical, and spiritual problems in your life. One of the major causes of stress is worrying about things that are out of your control. Learn to recognize these things and if you can truly do nothing about them, then just let them go. Take time to laugh at yourself and the situations you find yourself in. Laughter is a powerful, positive medicine and the calmer and more peaceful you can take things, the happier your life will be.

4. Be yourself. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. Don’t compare yourself to other people – at work or in your personal life. In the first place, no one knows what other people are going through. More importantly, when you compare yourself to other people, you always tend to see yourself on the "short end". So this is never a good or helpful thing for you to do. One way to get in touch with yourself is through journaling. The goal is to open up completely to yourself and learn to be your best friend by knowing that the truth (to yourself) will set you free from fear! Practice self-acceptance no matter what. Never do something you're not comfortable with. You'll respect yourself for sticking to your guns, and that self-respect will make you happy.

5. Make a scheduled time every day for relaxation. This is a good time to go over any therapy that you’re working on. Having a "relaxation" time or a "quiet time" every day strengthens you, allows the stress and tension in your life to evaporate, and keeps you more on a positive, even keel.

6. Get a job you love. If you have a job you hate or dislike, seriously consider changing your job, or even changing careers. Having a job that makes you look forward to your day when you wake up in the morning is critical to a happy, fulfilled life. Making special time to enjoy interests, hobbies, and family, not only makes life happier, but helps us be more productive on the job.

7. Develop a strong relationship with your family. That includes trust. If you are in an abusive family, you must find a way to stop the abuse that may include separation. If you want a stronger relationship with your family, you're going to need to be honest with them. Tell your family about your life and don't insult them - it hurts them just as much as it hurts you to be insulted.

8. Choose the right companion. Get involved with activities that reflect who you are, and get to know people who like the things you do. Don't rule out the Internet as a place to find a significant other, just get to know them over the phone or through a few months of emails before agreeing to a meeting in person.

9. Choose your friends carefully. Nearly everyone needs someone who cares for them and treats them well. If you have friends who are treating you badly, then ditch them and find friends that do care about you. If you can't find any friends like that in your current circumstances, then look elsewhere. If you're feeling sad, there's nothing like going out with your friends to make you feel better. Surround yourself with friends who are positive, encouraging, and helpful. We all need this continuing, positive encouragement to make solid positive progress in life.

10. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. Volunteer at a hospital or be a part of a program, which take care of patients in some way. When you leave the hospital, you will be so much happier knowing what you have.

11. Wish the best for others and mean it. It is so easy to be jealous and petty and forget to celebrate the good fortune of your coworkers, friends and family.

12. Keep learning. Whether it is a new hobby or a new dance, just keep learning something that interests you. Just find a new interest and go for it!! It will give you something to keep you occupied, and a new outlook on life.

13. Set goals. Live up to them. When you accomplish a goal, it's a great feeling. If you put all your failures down to other people, you put yourself in their power. Take responsibility for when things go wrong in your life.

14. Be healthy. Give your body and mind what it most needs in order to function in an "optimal" way. "Optimal" in this case means being the healthiest you can be, and the most psychologically balanced you can be. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and ensure that you get all the vital vitamins and minerals that your body requires for its optimal biochemical functioning. Supplement your diet with the appropriate vitamins and minerals. Get plenty of exercise. This will prompt the production of the "feel good" hormones that make you feel happy (endorphins). Plus, there are all the other obvious fitness and disease fighting benefits, too numerous to mention here.

15. Strive for long term goals vs. short term satisfaction. It is very easy to gain short term satisfaction, a quick high, a fast relief from your current problems. But it is what it is , a "short term" satisfaction, its effects die out very soon, leaving you again with this empty feeling. Set long term goals, set a goal which takes some time, some thought, some effort to achive. This will make you continually work towards improving yourself bit by bit and will give you the satisfaction of bringing a permanent change in your life. A permanent revolution.


Tips

* If you have problems getting your feelings and opinions out, learn the techniques of self-assertion, rather than using anger or avoidance by bottling them all up inside.
* Research suggests that happy people have a simple mental strategy towards life. When they think about something good that happened to them, they explore how they personally contributed to that good feeling and feel happy about themselves.
* Listen to the music that makes you feel good. When you wake up put on some uplifting/upbeat music.
* Be honest with yourself. Is there something that is keeping you from being happy -- an addiction, an insecurity? Do something about it!
* Smile! It's contagious and takes less effort than frowning.Stop stressing about money or things out of your control.
* Get plenty of sleep every night.
* When you receive a compliment from others, accept it and say "thank you".
* Get healthy or stay healthy by eating right and exercising.
* The true key to happiness is learning to be happy with what you already have. Never ever compare your life with that of the others.
* Pay your bills on time, and be in the habit of keeping an orderly home. Treat yourself to something special once in a while, not because you 'need' it, but just because you 'want' it.
* Caring for and loving a pet is a great way to stay happy once you reach that goal. If you have the time, energy, and stability to take on the responsibility of caring for a pet (for many years), you might consider this. (Don't rush into this or adopt a pet for the wrong reasons! This is a long-term commitment, but is a great way to share your happiness)
* Make new friends and talk to them about your problems.
* Find a girlfriend or boyfriend and fall in love.
* Get out of your house and hang out with friends.


Warnings

* If you can't be happy from within, and be satisfied with what you have or who you are, then you will never be truly happy with anyone else.
* You can only temporarily buy happiness.
* Do not spend your money only for necessities. Money is only a tool used to acquire the things you need or want in life. Do not love the tool or become a slave to it. Occasionally you should treat yourself and others to something special to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
* Remember that actions do have consequences.
* Ignorance may actually be bliss, but what you do not know may also hurt you.
* The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible. - Bertrand Russell

Words of Wisdom

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had .
















It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.











Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.













Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.











May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.











Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too















The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.











Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.











When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.











Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message...

The Right Person

Sharing to you something nice to read that was forwarded to me…

THE RIGHT PERSON?

Pedro Arrupe, SJ





During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, " How do I know if I married the right person ?"



I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"





In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer.



EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.



Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU.



People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that ___expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.



Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.



But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.



The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.



At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.



Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.



But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):



THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON;

IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.



SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the _expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.



Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.



Just as there are physical laws of the universe such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. .. you can "make" love.



Love in marriage is indeed a "decision".. . not just a feeling.

The Rain

In case you haven't seen this before.....

Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...





One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets

of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the

roads are wet and slick. Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen ,

spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm

thinking of something." This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all

that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.



"What are you thinking?" I asked.



"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield

wipers are like God wiping our sins away."

After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.



"That's really good, Aspen."



Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take

this revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain

keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"



Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:



"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."



I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message

you will not send it to many on your address list because

you're not sure what they believe, or what they

will think of you for sending it to them.



Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think

of us than what God thinks of us.

In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.





Hope the water flows when you get the picture







READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.



If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.



Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God..

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.



This is a Thomas Kinkade painting. It's rumored to carry a miracle!



The water is supposed to be running, so if it's not moving then the picture

didn't come through entirely.







They say if you pass this on, you will receive a miracle.

I am passing this on because I thought it was really pretty,

and besides, who couldn't use a miracle?!

The Positive Side of Life

Living on Earth is expensive,

but it does include a free trip

around the sun every year.




How long a minute is

depends on what side of the

bathroom door you're on.





Birthdays are good for you;

the more you have,

the longer you live.





Happiness comes through doors you

didn't even know you left open.






Ever notice that the people who are late

are often much jollier

than the people who have to wait for them?








Most of us go to our grave

with our music still inside of us.






If Tescos and Asda are lowering prices every day,

how come nothing is free yet?





You may be only one person in the world,

but you may also be the world to one person.







Some mistakes are too much fun

to only make once.







Don't cry because it's over;

smile because it happened.







We could learn a lot from crayons:

some are sharp, some are pretty,

some are dull, some have weird names,

and all are different colours....but

they all exist very nicely in the same box.






A truly happy person is one who

can enjoy the scenery on a detour.






Have an awesome day, and

know that someone

who thinks you're great

has thought about you today!..







"And that person was me.".....

Please don't keep this message

to yourself.....send it to those

who mean so much to you.... "NOW"..

The Poem

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.



My Christian duty was now done



My soul could rest at ease.



All day long I had no time



To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends,



They'd laugh at me I'd fear.



No time, no time, too much to do,



That was my constant cry,



No time to give to souls in need



But at last the time, the time to die.



I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book;

It was the book of life.



God looked into his book and said



"Your name I cannot find.



I once was going to write it down...



But never found the time"





Now do you have the time to pass it on?

Passion

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to the end.



Subject: READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR GOD



God, when I received this e-mail, I thought...



I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during work.



Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.



We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...

Maybe, Sunday night...



And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.



We do like to have Him around during sickness...



And, of course, at funerals.



However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...



Because.... That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle on our own.



May God forgive me for ever thinking...



That... there is a time or place where.....



HE is not to be FIRST in my life.



We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.



If, You aren't ashamed to do this...



Please follow the directions.



Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."



Not ashamed?



Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!



Yes, I do Love God.



HE is my source of existence and Savior.



He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

This is the simplest test...



If You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you...



Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you!



I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus. Do You love Him?
