Warren Buffet and Bill Gates - Great secrets of SUCCESS!



A talk in the Spring of  1998  - I just found about it , it was uploaded in 2013.

How do I call them, two World's top money makers?, innovators?, visionaries?. Ironically these two are completely different in every thing but one. I'll talk  about that one later. Warren believed in compelling products and team and invested in them. He did see the future of those products he invested in , Coke, insurance, Railways, Chocolate - which is more like  a skillful merchant with a vision of life of an existing product. He hardly ever created anything but took a free ride on other people's innovation but he took lots of people to  ride with him safely and profitably.

Bill Gates, believed in future and it automatically unfolded in front of him. He also took a free ride on technology  open space where nothing to stop him till it started getting crowded. 

Here are the secret of their success as they describe in few words.




I always worry about people saying will try 10 year first , then try another 10 years.
 Doing (things you love) later is little exiting of sex in older age. Get right into what you would enjoy.
 (0.17 sec in the video)  ------ Warren Buffet
     
       If you see the legends in any walk of  life, 90% of them started their passion from day one till day end. They tied up with one thing that they love about.

Warren Buffet : Numbers, Finance
Bill Gates: Technology
Steve Jobs: Innovation, Creativity, Technology
Albert Einstein: Maths
Steven Allan Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas: Movies
Charlie Chaplin: Acting, movies
Michael Jackson: Music
and many more.


They all started to pursue their passion at younger an age. (May be  Gandhi was little late start but it was right moment then). This can be applied to any one successful out there, they might have the same answer. There are very few who tried different things and had a great success out of one.


     Parents Parents Parents - Both of them are happy to have motivating parents. How many of us lucky enough to have one. For ones that don't have great parents (that would be very less I'd say) what is their life like?



Smart people result they entitled to. Habits to character . Practice becomes habit for me. Look at the habits you admire in others , make it your own.  


Some one said Success is getting what you want ,  happiness is wanting what you get.

Happiness , thats what I am.

If you tell who your heroes are, I can tell you how you will turn out at this point of your life.

Play the card in hand. Play  as good as it get 

------ Warren Buffet


Its not what I taught him, in the end it wasn't my talking at all what  got him on it is , his ability to play bridge with his friends on it.

------ Bill Gates

It was very impressive when Warren said his wife herself is one of his Heroes. One thing I noticed, at this age , both their physical is not fit to sit on a hard surface for an hour long. They both are uneasy sitting from the beginning, but managed! Nice guys.
