Warren Buffet

When someone mentions the name Warren Buffet, you instantly think of vast riches and knowledge. This is more than a fair assessment, even though he doesn't act like it. Warren Buffet is the third richest man in the world, valued at $71 billion. He did this all through business deals and investment. This is a different approach to success than the usual "small startup takes off an takes over the world," like Apple and Microsoft and Facebook did. Warren Buffet started in 1950 with $10,000 in seed money and grew it to what is now about $358 billion (market cap of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffet's conglomerate). From a young age, Buffet knew that he was destined to be make a lot of money and become rich. He never paused in his mission, and is, to this day, positioned at the head of Berkshire Hathaway, towards the end of his 80s. It is, of course, always necessary to have intelligence if one is expecting to become rich through investing and asset aquisition. What separates rich intelligent people from poor intelligent people is the sheer dedication that money making requires. Buffet always said that his hobby is to make money. This quickly became his life, and he was good at it. Millions of people from around the world listen to him and heed his advice, in the hope that they may one day become half as successful as he is. The lesson that he preaches is that if you wish to be successful, you cannot just wish it. You must work tirelessly to achieve your goals and work towards what will become your destiny.
