How many of you had seen this graph before?
I think almost everyone, isn't it?
Want to know how he did it?
Read out his principles, which made him “successful” that too at the age when everybody starts playing “Golf” after retirement.
15 valuable things which everyone should know to be SUCCESSFUL in life by Warren Buffett:
1. The only time to buy expensive things is on a day with no “y” in it.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
2. If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
Do something which could pay even when you were sleeping.
3. People who hold cash equivalents, have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.
Don’t spend money, invest it.
4. The first best thing you can do is to choose the right Heroes.
Choose only those heroes who inspires you to do whatever you are doing.
5. Predicting rain doesn't count, building arks does.
6. It takes minimum 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.
Before taking any step, be sure it didn’t harm anyone.
7. Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
8. It's better to hangout with the people better than you. Pick out associates whose behaviour is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
9. In the real world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than then windshield.
10. If the past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be the librarians.
Be in present, what gone is gone will never come again.
11. Look at the fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy, profit from folly than participating in it.
Learn from others mistake instead of doing it by yourself, again.
12. If you buy things you don't need, soon you'll have to sell things you need i.e. Do not save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving.
13. Buy expensive clothes which look cheap on you.
Once a interviewer asks William Buffet “Why have you worn such a cheap suit?”
Which he replied “I had worn expensive suit, but it’s just look cheap on me.”
14. Look for the job you would take if you didn't need the money.
15. No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women.

Isn't it fascinating to know all these principles?
But “KNOWING” is completely different from “DOING”
Go and follow these rules… be patient… life doesn’t ends until your heart is unable to beat.
Cheers!
