I was struck when I read this excerpt from a Magazine.
Until now, I am still amazed with his story and life. How I wish I'll get to see and know him more someday. (Even a handshake will do, make me feel so blessed.)
So, I want to share this one to you.
1. Born on August 30, 1930, he bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, own 63, companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7. He has given his CEO’s only two rule number 1
Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder’s money
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1
8. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But When Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
10. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
11. His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.
I will always be inspired of Warren Buffett's story.

Bais City United Methodist Church
God will always provide. HE answers our every prayer in the right time and in the best time for us.
I am so happy to see our church, the United Methodist Church in Bais to be renovated for almost 8 years of praying and waiting for our Korean Missionaries to appropriate funds for the church.
Its walls witnessed the memories and happenings that transpired during services. Its wooden chairs heard all the struggles of the pastors who were assigned in Bais.
I will always be a living testimony of how GOD took care of our church and strengthen its 5-10 regular members.
I was only 4 years old when I joined the church workers and Koreans in a circle as they bless the opening of the church.
I am 20 now and I am still serving the church. No matter how hard would be the struggles in order to keep our church established and keep going, I will never leave its gateways.. I know this is the way GOD wants me to be. For sure, this is the "calling" that HE wants me to fulfill.
Bais City Methodists will always rekindle our faith in HIM and continue to serve HIM the best way that we can do.
