Interesting Aspects of Life Warren Buffet


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 but 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 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, then why give chance to others to rule our life.’

wow … wow … wow … “Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk”, orang ini super genius dalam berbinis atau super duper lucky ? The answer is both, I guess…tapi point yang utama adalah cara dia menjalani hidup ini dengan begitu rendah hati meski memiliki harta yang luar biasa, that is a true billionaire. Quote yang paling mengesankan dari Mr. Buffet : “Don’t do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good. After all it’s your life, then why give chance to others to rule our life.” (yes, this is our life indeed)

“Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk”

But he has a notebook that attached with other super communication device… lol

ini mah paman gober

@baru, kalo paman gober kan emang pelit 1/2 mampus, tapi kalo mr. buffet karena emang dia rendah hati

Cool quotes !
Tapi penasaran juga, apakah karena dia kaya secara material, maka dia baru bisa bilang seperti itu ?
Apakah sebenarnya ada orang yang tidak kaya secara material, yang sudah mengajarkan hal yang sama ? Perkiraanku sih, meskipun ada, kebanyakan dari kita tidak bakal mendengarkan karena dia tidak kaya secara material.

@sin, haha dia berjuang dari bawah lho, prinsip hidupnya udah ada sejak dia muda. Tapi mungkin ada betulnya perkataanmu, kita gak bakal mendengarkan dari orang2 yang nggak kaya secara material, kenapa? Karena gak ada pembuktian diri. Warren Buffet, dia punya segalanya, tapi memutuskan utk tidak memuaskan diri dengan hartanya, itu yang bikin dia special. Kalau orang yang memang nggak kaya secara material, otomatis gak keliatan di mata kita apakah dia memang humble atau bersikap seperti itu untuk menghibur diri hehehe…

haha,kata2mu “menusuk” sekali.
Tapi, apakah sebenarnya kita perlu harta yang banyak untuk merasa bahagia ya ? Uang memang perlu setidaknya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi dan hiburan sedikit, tapi berlebihan harta menurutku tidak selalu disertai dengan kebahagiaan. Menurutku kebahagiaan itu lebih tergantung pada diri kita sendiri, bagaimana kita melihat sesuatu ?, dsb.

Tapi karena aku “belum” kaya, jadi nggak jelas juga apakah aku humble atau sedang menghibur diri sendiri hehehe…

Hahaha, jangan merasa tertusuk lah, humble atau menghibur diri, terlihat dari cara kita menjalani hidup.

Betul kata2mu, materi itu bukan ukuran kebahagiaan, karena ada hal-hal yang tetep aja gak bisa dibeli dengan uang.

kamu juga bilang : “Menurutku kebahagiaan itu lebih tergantung pada diri kita sendiri, bagaimana kita melihat sesuatu”, think positive ! aku setuju sekali Sin, saat ini aku bahagia karena aku merasa berkecukupan, tapi bagi orang lain mungkin hidupku ini kurang membahagiakan karena gak punya duit berlimpah spt mereka hahaha … and I believe that you’re happy right now, bukan karena menghibur diri tapi karena kamu sedang menikmati dan mensyukuri hidupmu
