Worlds third richest man ( Interesting aspects of life -Warren Buffet…Something to think about. Many things to learn……
There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the third 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 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 second 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 go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel   comfortable.
D. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who  really in need rather.

He epitomises the simplicity that shows greatness
