Here is Real Happy Person!

Peter Buffett

I know there is a next life but marrying someone in the next life, I don't think so!! As a believer this is what I believe in. But..... if there is a next life and if I need a husband, I will ask Peter Buffett to marry me. If he ignore me I will ask 2 or 3 times more. He is not that handsome but I like his beautiful heart. That's all I count!!

The reason why I want to marry him is.............., Looking at rich people I can see 3 groups!! He falls in the 3rd group, that's why I want to marry him.

Here are the rich groups............

1. There are some rich people nothing but dwelling in Material, Sex, gambling, drug and drinking. They are spending money like peeing (often), this make me pewt out. Oh yeah I have seen them. Love to have 5 cars, 3 houses , 2 private plane and 1 yatch on top of that for some one including 3 wives. That's OK because they do have money to do such thing. Up to them not my problems. But I do have a problem when these rich people just think about me me and me, nothing to the poor needing people. Say...not sharing within limit.

2. There are rich but no love relation with any material at all but happy with a house actually they can do more better without waisting the money!! They are NO fun at all people. Even to do a family nice vacation trip they have to think 4 times. They think they are saving but a kind of lean into stingy, cheap and thrifty what ever you want to name them. I call them cheap bastard or money hugger and for sure they will die with same position...sitting down hugging bank books!!!!

3. They are rich no wasting money but do care about own, family, relative and OTHERS. They enjoy family outing or get together with friends. On top of that not dwelling their mine on their wealth but following what things make them real happy. Example.....Peter Buffett??? Oh he likes music just like me. He plays music and I sing.. how about that? Happy couple???

One thing I want to share with you is...............

You come naked and you go naked!
You know your birthday but you do not know your deadday.... so be good.

Lets find a real happiness as Peter Buffett has. Love you Peter!!!

Warren Buffett's son preaches values as wealth
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett has an old-world spiritual message for today's money-rich parents: teach your children values and do not give them everything they want.

Musician and now author Peter Buffett preaches the message in his new book "Life is What You Make it: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment". Recently released in the United States, it describes how he wound up a "normal, happy" person instead of a spoiled child to one of the world's richest people.

Buffett, 52, teaches the rewards of self-respect and pursuing one's own passions and accomplishments rather than buying into society's concepts of material wealth.

"I am my own person and I know what I have accomplished in my life," he said. "This isn't about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing."

People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what Buffett said his father has called a "silver dagger in your back," which leads to a sense of entitlement and a lack of personal achievement.

"Entitlement is the worst thing ever and I see entitlement coming in many guises," he said. "Anybody who acts like they deserve something 'just because,', is a disaster."

But Buffett wasn't always this wise. His own family gave him $90,000 in stock when he was 19, a small sum from such immense financial wealth. After studying at Stanford University, he moved to San Francisco and lived in a studio apartment with just enough room for his musical instruments.

"I was really searching," he said, adding that he began his musical career by working for free writing music for a local television station.

"I was kind of lost, but trying to find myself. It was definitely this strange period where I didn't really know where I was going," he said.

LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE

As well his musical passions, the values taught to him growing up and a sense of a bigger picture in life stayed with him during those trying times, he said.

"I was not only not handed everything as a kid, I was shown that there are lots of other people out there with very different circumstances," he said.

Although many people he encounters assume that his father wanted him to go into finance, he said his father accepted his choice to become a musician beginning with commercials then his own albums and composing for television shows and films.

"It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the idea," he said about pursuing finance. But he added that as he grew older, it became clear the financial world "was not speaking to my heart."

Along with the book, Buffett has embarked on a "Concert & Conversation" tour in which he plays the piano, talks about his life and warns against consumerist culture and damaging the environment.

He said he eventually inherited more money after his mother died in 2004, but by then he had learned his lessons. Now he works on giving back to the world -- another of his life philosophies -- which includes through working for his father's NoVo charitable foundation.

"Economic prosperity may come and go; that's just how it is," he writes in the book. "But values are the steady currency that earn us the all-important rewards."

Someone sent me the following and hope we use our wealth in thouhtul way:

Here is the true story..............

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools
and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
