WARREN BUFFETT interview

(Keywords: WARREN BUFFETT interview, bernard Preston, frugal living)

  • I bought my first share at age 11 and I now regret that I started too late;

  • I bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers;

  • I still live in the same three-bedroom house I bought after I got married 50 years ago. (His house doesn’t have a wall/fence);

  • I drive my own car everywhere and do not have a bodyguard;

  • I do not carry a cellphone, nor do I have a computer on my ­office desk;

  • I never travel by private jet, ­although I own the world’s ­largest private jet company;

  • I do not socialise with the high society crowd. After getting home I make myself some popcorn and watch TV;

  • My company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. I only write one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. I never hold meetings or call them on a regular basis.

TWO RULES

Buffett added that he has given his CEOs only two rules.

  • Rule No 1: Do not lose any of your shareholders’ money.

  • Rule No 2: Do not forget rule number one.

    MAYORS

    Sigh, one could only wish that mayors of towns in South Africa, large and small, could see themselves as CEOs.

    One can't expect the nouveau riche not to flaunt their newly found riches but wisheds they would want to live like Warren Buffett. But not squander their ratepayers' money? Yes, there we can and will hold them to account!

    The joy of gardening

    In the Warren Buffet interview he declares that he bought a small farm with his own savings as a teenager.

    Whether it's tree planting help for planting an avocado tree for example, or simply growing green beans there's more joy to be had in the garden cathedral that surrounded by expected electronic gadgets. What's more it's the fresh vegetables and fruit from your own garden that provide you with the taste of food that is completely denied those who rely on the supermarket for their week old food which can never be

    high folate foods rich in the vitamin that brings us sparkling good health.



    Whilst I can't boast of 63 companies, I do have five beehives each of which have 50,000 employees. The queens lives religiously by the Warren Buffett interview rules, a simple, comfortable though not luxurious lifestyle within the hive, and bringing forth abundant honey for the shareholder. Me!
