started too late!

他十一歲買了第一次股票，現在他後悔太晚買。（什麼鬼？）

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering
newspapers.

從他送報紙的薪水裡頭在他十四歲時買了一個小農場。（有點扯 雖然農場很便宜啦）

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.

他依舊住在歐哈馬的市郊，那間只有三個房間的房子是是他五十年前結婚時買的，裡頭他有了所有他需要的東西。
房子外面甚至沒有牆壁或圍籬。（真是心靈最有錢的有錢人 真難得）

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or
security people around him.

他到今天還是自己開車到處跑 甚至沒有保鏢或是司機。（其實我覺得還是有點危險啦，老先生出門開車 不好啦）

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest
private jet company.

他從不搭私人噴射機，雖然他擁有世界最大的私人噴射機公司。（拍拍手）(昨天才看到GM, Ford, Chrysler去國會要錢還搭了私人噴射機被ㄉ一ㄤ，不是要倒了還可以搭噴射機）

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.

any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule
number 1.

9) 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.

五年前當蓋屍跟Buffet第一次見面時，全世界最有錢的比爾蓋屍不認為他跟Buffet有任何交集，所以他只留了三十分鐘的會談時間給Buffet，但是見面後他們足足談了十小時，而這次也讓蓋屍成為了Buffet的信徒。（所以蓋屍後來捐錢都是因為Buffet啦，他才沒這麼好心）

泰德說:

心靈上的糧食往往比生活上的糧食難追求，在這利益充斥的社會裡頭。

(Need)需要跟(Want)想要 其實是有差別的，當學會分辨需要跟想要後可以省下不少無謂的開銷呢。（當然70%的人做不到)(20%包含難民）

終其一生不就是追隨順心如意 心情愉快而已嗎？ 阿 吼 搭 啦～
