Warren Buffett Just Donated $3.4 Billion of his Wealth to Charity Billionaires are no strangers to earning money, but they’re also not strangers to giving back to the community. We see billionaires all over the world, creating charities and foundations, or donating to said foundations. Warren Buffett is one of those billionaires. Throughout his career, Buffett’s net worth has just continued to increase, and with that, so has his donations to the community. Buffett makes it a habit to give a significant portion of shares in his multi-billion dollar company Berkshire Hathaway to charity, every single year. In fact, it’s estimated that he’s given over $31 billion to charity so far in his lifetime, and I don’t need to tell you that figure is phenomenal.

Many Titan’s of sports and entertainment have made the claim that the only way they were able to reach the prominence they have found in their careers, has been a direct result of their ability to work harder the most people. Study any highly successful person, and you will find this to be true. If you examine Michal Jordan’s work ethic, you would notice it was greater than his peers. If you had the chance to witness the late Steve Jobs, you would notice he also had a knack for being relentless in his pursuits. And the same goes for most self-made millionaires. They do what others don’t like to do, and they typically work harder than their competition. And by doing so, they set the stage for their eventual success and making the big money.

Finally, Here’s a quick recap of the top 25 richest people in the world in 2018: Jeff Bezos Bill Gates Warren Buffett Amancio Ortega Mark Zuckerberg Bernard Arnault Carlos Slim Helu Larry Ellison Charles Koch David Koch Larry Page Michael Bloomberg Ma Huateng Sergey Brin Francoise Bettencourt Meyers Jack Ma Jim Walton S.

Even if you’re not job hunting, taking an hour to update your CV and Linked In accounts is a smart move throughout your professional career to ensure you’re not a position of playing catch up later on. Updating your résumé forces you to take stock of your core skills and abilities, which can bolster confidence and highlight the areas where you may need to expand your know-how or undertake additional training in order to be proficient in the necessary skills which will land you that dream job.

The question is, “How do you eat an elephant in one go?” You don’t. The answer of course, is to approach the task in stages. Begin something you’ve been putting off with the expectation that you are not going to finish it. This mindset immediately takes the pressure off and allows you to think pragmatically about what your first moves will be. Chances are, if you dedicate yourself to a project or task for just one hour, you will get in to it enough to keep going once things get underway and achieve a lot more than you thought you would. Wouldn’t that be a satisfying achievement for one little lunch hour?

In defence of squandered hours, Oscar Wilde once said: “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” While you might normally use your lunch hour to glance through news stories, Instagram, Facebook feeds and group chats, consider putting a lunchtime ban on mindless scrolling. Instead of glazing over at your phone screen every day, mix things up by finding a way to engage with the environment around you: consider starting a conversation with someone new, draw something or start reading a new book. You’ll be much more aware of what happened in your lunch hour rather than merely letting the time slip past uneventfully.

भीड़ हमेशा उस रास्ते पर चलती है जो रास्ता आसान लगता है, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं की भीड़ हमेशा सही रास्ते पर चलती है| अपने रास्ते खुद चुनिए क्योंकि आपको आपसे बेहतर और कोई नहीं जानता|

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.” Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad. However, the family still did not g...

This evening as I was leaving Best Buy, I noticed this man going through the garbage can outside of the store. As I walked to my car I watched him as he reached in the garbage can and pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags. He did this for several minutes. He would find a few fries in one bag and a bite or two of a hamburger in another bag. You can see the hamburger wrapper by his knee where he was placing the food items he’d found. He never bothered anyone or tried to stop and beg for money as people entered and left the store. After he went through the entire trash can he neatly cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper. My heart literally hurt for him. I am not someone who just hands out money or even helps homeless people because so many are not truly homeless. I don’t guess I’ve ever seen someone actually go through a garbage can to try to find food to eat. I knew I had to he...

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: ”How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.” It’s important to r...

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.” “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house t...

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about — the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me. Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other’s face, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!” Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son (maybe nine or ten) and while cupping his son’s face in his hands said, “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zac...

The Cockroach Theory for Self Development At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but… it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach...

 If you are chasing a girl, it just feels like to be put on a race track and told to run and run with no end in sight? How does it feels like when you are forced to jump off a cliff knowing that you have no wings to lift you? Sadly, we are chasing girls like the girl is a hell of a thing. The best decision that you will ever make is to stop wanting the love of someone who does not love you. – Najwa Zebian Just sit around for a minute and take a deep breath and calculate how much time you are wasting for your crush and how much effort you are putting for your crush. Why the hell are you wasting time on someone who will never be the part of your life. She has friendzoned you, and now that’s enough. Move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Just imagine the amount of time, hope, and will that you put for your girl. Now just think that, if you saved all that time and put all that hope and will to work for yourself. Just imagine what you can accomplish! You ...

There was a blind girl who hated herself purely for the fact she was blind. The only person she didn’t hate was her loving boyfriend, as he was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry him. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her – now she could see everything , including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying: “Just take care of my eyes dear.” Moral of the story: When our circumstances change, so does our mind. Some people may not be able to see the way things were before, and might not be able to appreciate them . There are many things to take away from this story, not just one. This is one of the inspirational short stories that left me speechless.

“You need to have flopped quite a few times to get a sense of how little any of it has to do with you.”― George Clooney Quotes “Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.”― George Clooney “Anyone would be lying if they said they didn’t get lonely at times.”— George Clooney “When you’re young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that’s the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you that you’re a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win.”― George Clooney

Thomas Edison Quotes – Failure IS the Road to Success! Thomas Edison is the reason we have some of the world’s greatest inventions . Without him failing 10,000 times we would have never had the light bulb and all the technology that came with it. He learned his relentless work ethic from a tough childhood but used it to succeed in his adult life. While most people fear failure, Thomas Edison and other successful people learned to love failing. They understand that failure is part of the process to be successful at anything. Use these Thomas Edison quotes to change your definition of failure and find success in your life. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” — Thomas Edison Would you have kept going at any of your goals if you “failed” 9,999 times? Most people wouldn’t. But if you want to become great at anything you have to learn to keep going. You need to learn to frame the word “ failure .” Because of school, it gets a negative conn...

“Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I’ve played. I’m not. That’s why it’s called ‘acting’.” 

1) “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” 2) “When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.” 3) “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.”  4) “How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.” 5) “Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.”   

Naturally, the activities you obsess about will most likely become your strengths. It may take a while, but obsession equals passion. Passion equals effort. Effort equals practice. Practice equals perfection. Before you quote me on this, I have to inform you that this isn’t always the case. There are people in the world who have some incredible passions; but no matter what they do, they aren’t naturally blessed in that particular area, and practice doesn’t seem to change that.

Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” Muhammad Ali Quotes

:  Being and Breathing One warm evening many years ago… After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing.  So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear.  She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back –and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.” A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep.  The room was peaceful – almost silent.  All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing.  I stayed awake thinking about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible.  And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone.  Nor did the future hold any significance. All that mattered was the serenity of the moment. Just being with her and breathi...

"Today is not just any ordinary day. Today is a day that matters. Today you will have the choice to make a difference in your life and those around you.  Today you will have the choice to smile rather than frown, be grateful rather than selfish, lift up rather than put down, accept rather than reject and love rather than hate.  Today you will have the choice of seeking hope for the future or remain in the hopelessness of the past. Today you have the choice to laugh or cry. Both will make you feel better. Today you will have the undivided attention of the King of the Universe. At that time you can ask Him anything you want. You can ask for help, plead for a friend or just enjoy His presence. It all depends on you. Whichever you choose, today matters. Make the choice to make it a day worth living. And don't forget, tomorrow is another day."

“What you have done is nothing compared to what you can do.” – Grant Cardone Don’t evaluate your future based on your past potential. You are capable of achieving greatness if you put in the work. If you study, learn, network, fail and repeat you can do more than you ever thought possible. It won’t be easy but reaching your dreams is worth the effort. Quit looking back in the past, you won’t find your answers for your future there. “Almost every problem people face in their careers and other aspects of their lives – such as failed diets, marriages, and financial problems – are all the result of not taking enough action.” – Grant Cardone Taking action is the answer. If you’re struggling in anything, take more action. Struggling with your diet? Run longer, workout harder, and make the right choices with your diet. Struggling with your bills? Work harder, make more calls, get there first, stay there last, and take action to always move forward. Action cures impe...

Jeremi Ross – Athlete Since the age of three, Jeremi Ross had been in and out of foster care and group homes. By the time he started Hollywood High in 2009, he was failing every subject. But then he met football coach Ceasar Sandoval and became interested in playing football. Yet taking the field, there was one catch: Ross would have to promise Coach Sandoval that he’d achieve a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). Upon making this deal, Ross not only achieved a 2.0 GPA, but he also rushed for 2,273 yards and scored 23 touchdowns playing quarterback in his first year of organized football. By the end of his sophomore year, Ross earned a 3.0 GPA and had become a leader both on and off the field. Fast-forward to the present and Ross is getting ready to graduate with a B.A. degree from NCAA Division II Missouri Science and Technology in multidisciplinary studies, becoming the first in his family to earn a college degree. This past season he was named to the all-conferen...

There is only thing you should fear and that is God. That should not be a fear of terror, but of reverence. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death. You are all you can be. Go on and be it.

As a group of frogs was traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them. However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit . Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out. Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging  him. the entire time. Moral of the stor...

“Winners are not afraid of losing, but losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.” — Robert Kiyosaki “It’s more important to grow your income than cut your expenses. It’s more important to grow your spirit than cut your dreams.” — Robert Kiyosaki “If you’ve failed, that means you’re doing something. If you’re doing something you have a chance.” — Robert Kiyosaki  

You can be hindered from making progress if you ignore your problems. Could you be letting little challenges grow into huge obstacles by not dealing with them? When faced with unpleasant situations it is tempting to ignore them and not deal with them. The path of least resistance is an attractive one and the effort required to deal with the problem sometimes seems too immense. At times it’s not so much that the problem is big but that it requires us to admit something about ourselves or others that we just don’t want to face. The trouble is “You won't find a solution by saying there is no problem.”
