                  Something to think about....
   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 when
                           really in need rather.
   F. After all it\'s your life then why give chance to others to rule our
                                   life.
