Warren Edward Buffett, the
third richest person in the world, was born on August 30, 1930 to his
father Howard, a stockbroker-turned-Congressman.
At only six years old,
Buffett purchased 6-packs of Coca Cola from his grandfather's grocery store for
twenty five cents and resold each of the bottles for a five cent profit.
At eleven years old, he purchased three shares of
Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share. Shortly
after buying the stock, it fell to just over $27 per
share. Warren held his shares until they rebounded to $40. Surprisingly,
Cities Service shot up to $200. This experience taught him
one of the basic lessons of investing: “Patience is a virtue.”
He has donated a total of $25 billion to
charities. Buffett has pledged to give away 99 percent of his wealth rather
than pass it down as an inheritance.
Warren Buffett is the legend in his areas of work.
From this article, I want to share few of the
unique quotes made by Warren Buffett.
01. Never depends on
single income. Make investment to create a second source.
02. Someone is
sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
03. I always knew I
was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.
04. Risk comes from
not knowing what you’re doing.
05. Do not put all eggs in one basket.
06. 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 pregnant.
07. Honesty is very
expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.
08. Rule#1: Never
lose money. Rule#2: Never forget rule #1.
09. You can’t reach
success in investment, if you do not think independently.
10. Don’t
save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after savings.
11. When
you have a choice, it is much more important to know how to say ‘NO’ than
‘YES’.
12. You
have to learn to be an investor, if you want to become wealthy.
13. Never
test the depth of river with both feet.
14. It
takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think
about that, you’ll do things differently.
15. Don’t
do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
16. The
rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.
17. I
never invest in anything that I don’t understand.
18. Investing
is simple, but not easy.
19. If
you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money.
20. In
the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
21. The
most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.
