INSPIRING ONE

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 who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life."

Acres Of Diamonds

Ali was a farmer from South Africa, who was happy and contented.
One day a friend came to visit him and told him about the value of diamonds and the money that goes along with having them.
The friend said, “If you have a diamond the size of a coin, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of a tennis ball, you could own the whole country.”
After the friend left,the farmer could not sleep that night. He became unhappy and discontented with what he had, and the whole night he thought to himself how rich and powerful he would become if he could possess some diamonds.
The next morning, he sold off his farm, left his family with his neighbor, and set off to search for diamonds.He traveled all over Africa, but could not find any.
He looked all over Europe and couldn’t find any. Finally,he became emotionally, physically and financially broke and decided to take his own life by throwing himself into the river.
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. He suddenly saw a curious flash of light from the white sands of the shallow stream. Reaching into the water, he pulled out a rough stone that sparkled like the colors of the rainbow. Finding the stone interesting, he took it back to his house and placed it as a decoration piece in his living room.
One day that friend came to visit again, and saw the sparkling stone. He exclaimed, “Here is a diamond! Is Ali back?” The man replied, “No, no, Ali has not returned, and that is not a diamond. It is only a stone I found right here in the garden.”
When the friend heard this, he declared,“I know a diamond when I see one.”Together they rushed out to the garden stream and began searching. To their amazement, there came up other more beautiful and valuable stones than the first. Thus, was discovered the largest diamond mine in the world.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES:We are forever looking for opportunities else where rather than within us.
“Acres of Diamonds” taught us that the riches and opportunities that we are searching are within us. As the saying goes, “The grass on the other side always appears to be greener.”

Diamonds in its rough form do not look like diamonds. The raw diamonds need to be skillfully worked on and polished before they are of value.
Likewise most of us are like the raw diamonds,and need to be worked on and polished before we realize our full potential.
