HI friends here is a small story about worlds second richest man...
May be we can learn something from him.
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:
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 popcorn and watch Television.
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 to them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand names; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend them on who are really in need, rather.
F. Afterall it's your life then "why do wegive a chance to others to rule our lives."

Hey Ranjith,
I like this post and appreciate your efforts to share this with us.
In the current scenario where things are under recession and we read so much in newspapers about people who have messed their lives with loans, wrong investments, credit card debts etc... this serves as an eyeopener.
This is something which will help all of us to acheive the very well known saying, "Simple Living and High Thinking".
