July 16th, 2008Warren Buffett’s 7 Secrets to Living a Happy and Simple Life
Copyright © CNBC
Warren Buffett’s investment philosophies are much like his life philosophies… live simply. Now we know something else about the Oracle of Omaha, he’s not great at keeping secrets, because he’s sharing 7 that he’s lived by to get him where he’s at today. You’re better off telling someone else about that car you dinged in the bank parking lot, Buffett is a tattletale.
Cliffnotes for the lazy:
Secret #1 – Happiness comes from within
Secret #2 – Find happiness in simple pleasures
Secret #3 – Live a simple life
Secret #4 – Think simply
Secret #5 – Invest simply
Secret #6 – Have a mentor in life
Secret #7 – Making money isn’t the backbone of our guiding purpose; making money is the by-product of our guiding purpose.
For all of you who thought it was:
Secrets #1-6 – Become billionaire
Secret #7 – Party like it’s 1999
Shame on you!

Mr Buffets is on the money.
The simplest things in life are for free, but we just ignore them.
Eg. Sunlight, fresh breeze, Family, Friends, water, exercise, mediation.
I wish I could meet with him, as I do share the similar secrets.
We all are passing through life, its a journey that everyone of has to accomplish and the work that we all do on earth will depends on how we proceed to our second life.
Looking forward in hearing from you.
