When Gates met Buffet!

Although Warren Buffet became rich much before Bill Gates became the world’s richest man, it never occurred to the latter that he will have much to hear from the former, since they did not have very much in common, as Gates believed. However, he made an appointment to meet his senior just for half an hour. At the end Gates could not believe himself that he had spent nearly ten hour listening to Buffet. World’s second richest man, who lives a simple life and drive his own car.
Despite his thriftiness, he donated $31 billion to charity and he was found to be extraordinarily generous with his sincere advice to those who are prepared to listen to him, like Bill Gates.
The front page headline “Most govt. workers in loan trap” (Aug. 5) made me recall Warren Buffet’s advice to young people: ‘Stay away from credit cards (bank loans) and invest in yourself and remember:
A. Money does not create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life, as simple as you can.
C. Don’t do what others say, just listen, but do what you feel good.
D. Don’t go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on things really needed.
F. After all it’s your life then why you give chance to others to rule your life.
These time tested advices from the simplest of all the rich men should not be ignored at any cost. — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
