Masterpiece from one of the all-time great investor

WORDS OF WISDOM
by Warren Buffet
1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to
create a second chance.
2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have
to sell things you need.
3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend
what is left after saving.
4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.
5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it
from cheap people.
7. IF YOU are depressed, you are living in the past. If
you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you
are at peace, you are living in the present. Past is a
waste paper. Present is a newspaper and future is a
question paper.
8. WHEN bad things happen in your life you have
three choices. You can either let it define you, let it
destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
9. EMPTY pockets teach you a million things in life
but full pockets spoil you in a million ways.
10. OUR EYES are in the front because it is more
important to look ahead than to look back.
11. WE USED a pencil when we were small but now
we use pens... do you know why? Because mistakes
in childhood can be erased but not now.
So read and write carefully otherwise life will be a
tissue paper.

POWER OF INFLUENCE

THE POWER OF INFLUENCE An individual begins to develop his or her leadership abilities when he or she starts to influence others towards a particular direction. The reason why you take the lead when you influence others is basically because we are dealing with humans. Other things such as animals, money and properties can only be managed and controlled before you can generate value from them or multiply their usefulness but for humans, it is a different case totally. We actually don’t manage people but lead them. There is a clear distinction between leading and managing. ‘To lead’ simply means to influence. It is to influence others towards the effective and efficient utilization of resources for the maximum productivity of the individual and ultimately the society. ‘To manage’ is to create a process of achieving certain objectives clearly set out through planning, organizing, controlling and directing of human resources. These two concepts are both important in any set...
