Warren Buffett, 2nd richest man...

Don't know if this is true or not, but some of the thoughts and ideas are phenonemal and good advice...Its in English and Arabic...Enjoy!!
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:
كانت هناك مقابلة استغرقت ساعة زمن على قناة السي ان بي سي الامريكية مع ثاني اغنى رجل في العالم "وورين بفت " والذي تبرع بمبلغ 31 بليون دولار من ثروته لأمور خيرية ، وهنا بعض من مظاهر حياته وفيها دروس للاستفادة وخصوصا لأاصحاب النفوذ والملايين في بلاد المسلمين :
1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
اشترى اول سهم مالي عندما كان عمره 11 سنة ، والآن يأسف بأنه ابتدأ متأخر جدا !!!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
اشترى مزرعة صغيرة في سن الرابعة عشرة من ادخاره في توزيع الجرائد اليومية !!!
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.
لازال يقيم في نفس بيته الصغير المكون من ثلاث غرف في وسط بلدة اوماها ، والذي اشتراه عقب زواجه قبل 50 عام. ويقول بأن لديه كل مايحتاجه في ذلك المنزل والذي لايوجد به جدار خارجي او سور .
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
اعتاد ان يقود سيارته بنفسه حيثما يريد وهو لايوجد لديه سائق او رجال امن يحرسونه .
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
لم يسافر ابدا بطائرة خاصه بالرغم من انه يملك اكبر شركة طيران خاصة بالعالم
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.
تملك شركته 63 شركة وكل مايفعله هو كتابة رساله واحده سنويا للتنفيذيين في تلك الشركات يحدد لهم الاهداف للسنة. لم يعقد ابدا اجتماعات او يجري مكالمات انتظامية . قاعدتان فقط يعطيها لاولئك المسؤولين. القاعدة الاولى: لاتفرط ابدا في شريكك المالي ، والقاعدة الثانيه: لاتنسى ابدا القاعدة الاولى.
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.
لايشارك اجتماعيا مع حشـود المجتمع الراقي . كان فيما مضى من عمره بعد العودة لمنزله يعمل لنفسه الفشار ويشاهد التلفاز.
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.
بل غيتس ، اغنى رجل في العالم، قابله لأول مره قبل خمس سنوات ولم يكن يتوقع بوجود شيء مشترك بينه وبين وورن بفت، لذلك حدد المقابلة بنصف ساعة فقط. ولكن عندما قابله، استمرت المقابله لعشر ساعات ومن يومها اصبح بل غيتس شديد التعلق بوورن بفت .
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
وورن بفت لايحمل الهاتف الجوال ولا وجود للكمبيوتر على طاولته
His advice to young people: " Stay away from credit cards " and invest in yourself and
Remember:
نصيحته للشباب " ابتعد عن البطاقات الائتمانية " واستثمر في ذاتك وتذكر الآتي:
A . Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
المال لايصنع الرجل بل الرجل هو الذي يصنع المال
B . Live your life as simple as you are.
عش حياتك بكل بساطة وعفوية
C . Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
لاتفعل مايقوله الآخرون ، فقط استمع اليهم ولكن اعمل ماتراه حسنا.
D . Don't go on brand names; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
لاتنجرف وراء الاسماء التجاريه، البس تلك الاشياء التي تشعر معها بالارتياح
E . Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend them on who are really in need, rather.
لاتضيع نقودك في الاشياء الغير ضروريه، فقط انفقهم على المحتاجين حقيقة.
F . After all it's your life then " why do we give a chance to others to rule our lives. "
اجمالا، هي حياتك ، فلماذا نعطي الاخرين الفرصة ليحكموا معيشتنا .
madam Booboo ---- you are to be poking on my bubbles and this to be put much much pressure on my system. i am to be think good idea for save money but you are saying 10 million is to be short change only. how many days i remain constipated now to become rich ---- i am to be wonder.
wow, i'd love to meet him one day, so calm and fully content, it's hard these days finding a man with such qualities...
Warren Buffet is the coolest uncool old guy you can imagine. Not to be confused with Jimmy Buffet who is wasting away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for a lost shaker of salt.
I saw an interview with Warren Buffet on Bloomberg and he really is the modest down to earth guy that he claims to be. Amazing. One of the world's richest men and just a modest 77 year old guy, living in a modest house in a modest town in a modest state in an immodest country.

I've never heard of him. He sounds like a rabbits posh lunch!
Seriously though, what a great guy and how sensible is he!
FriendRaj, at the rate that inflation is rising these days 10 mil will be pocket change in 38 yrs. Sorry to burst you're bubble mate.
Warren Buffet (pronounced as Buf-fet and not buffey as some do--treating as a lunch or dinner buffet)..
He is, by my measure, actually the richest man CASH-WISE.. The guy is the Guru of investments in the Stock Market and his holding company Berkshire-Hathaway (NYSE Stock code brk.a) is the highest priced stock in the NYSE at more than US$ 100,000/share!
He is liquid (AS IN ALL CASH - with USD 10 Billion)!!!
None of the other registered billionaires have that cash.. They are all "rich" because of their holdings in their respective companies (i.e., paper rich) not Cash Rich!
fyi.. If you wanna "be like" Warren Buffet, try getting this book.. THE WARREN BUFFET WAY. Get the 2nd edition...
Enjoy..

I have the same mentality like Warren Buffet. Wonder why am not a billionaire :(
My mentor, a conservative but highly valued person to emulate......Mr. Mittal the richest Indian...

hey hey 1000 pardons jauntieji. i am to be get you chay now. 1000 thank you also for you to be telling me what is to be right from wrong.
if you not be doing poo poo for two times in a week you to be bunged up mate! Hospital bills to be more costly than pani bills!
miser man. i am to be calculate ---if i am to be not doing poo poo for two times into a week ----- i am to be save on water bills and to become rich by qr10000000 (round figure) into 38 years.
if YOU didn't do it - do you actually know how it translates?
oo-er missus
mistake so I can't take credit for any of it!!! Sorry, jauntie!!
Now you went and got all the adverts and headings on this page turned to Arabic! lmao
But, yes, I've seen that interview with Warren Buffet before - he's quite a guy!
