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! I'd think the same since i will have more if i knew i'd hit the jack pot.
2.He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers. how much was the housing? delivering newspaper?
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. but i bet he owns the entire block or half the mid-town.
4.He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. good chance.....let's go....opps did i said it out loud???
5.He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company. why weast money on that?first class good enough.
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. um.....rule #3.....especially do not lose mine.
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. sounds......nerdy. and i am not talk about jen and mayumi. they are cool kids.
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. wow........talktive nerds. and again not jen and mayumi.
9.Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone,nor has a computer on his desk. how can he commnicate with others? send them the birds that carries letter. i guess when u are that rich u don't need to talk to others anymore.
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.

Next life
What would u want to be if u can choose for ur next life?
After bb left....I'd want the same life happen to me again....so I can meet my bb once again.
It's a hard process so far but I'd not regard it.

Driving in Vancover
Vancover is a wierd place where u can see so many nice cars and so many dumb drivers at once.
With a sucking city planning, driving in Vancover makes me mad.
there is no turnning line in the middle, so every time someone tried to make a turn then it mean stuck for the whole damn road.
Drivers are not using signal lights at all.
No wonder insurance is expensive there.
I saw a truck with trailer making u-turn on Hwy#1. It was a sign.
I almost stopped to ask that guy--"did ur mom knows u are retarded when she gave birth to you?" " or ur retardness is caused by some other reason?" "I'd like to put u in the zoo so ppl can take a look of what's stupid"........................
Really don't get what Canadian is up to.....they have huge land but they build their road like there is only two cars every day.
Who made the road plan for them should burn in hell.

Homeless Ppl
There is a store on a very busy street and there are many homeless ppl there asking this store for food.
One day there is a hobo comes in and ask the owner for toothpick.
the owner is kinda curious about the use of it but he hives him anyway.
After 5 mins there comes the other one ask for toothpick again.
The owner gets more curious but he gives him anyway.
After 5 more mins there comes in the third one.
Before the hobo said anything the owner asks: u want toothpick as well?
The hobo: no....there was someone throwed up on the street but the food already got picked by other two..........
.........so.........can i have a straw?
I know may of u are going to say it's gross.
But it's funny.
Go tell to others while they are eating then.
