Learning from Money Buffet and not Warren Buffett
1) Buffet is a place where you are provided with Unlimited food
2) Eat as much as you want is the promise which is always kept
3) Greed is the driving factor that attracts us to Buffet. We pay a little more with the desire to ear a lot more
4) Usually the thought of unlimited food attracts unlimited excitement
5) However, those who get most excited and make eating more their target
a) Feel full and uneasy
b) Don't know what they actually ate because instead of relishing the food, they were busy devouring it
c) By the time they are leaving the buffet all the excitement has faded and instead they feel too full, uneasy and unwell
6) But those who treat Buffet differently like any other meal do not focus on eating more but appreciate the variety; pick and choose a few things which they stick to
7) For them the Buffet is just any other meal the only difference being the Opportunity to Choose from several items. Making a choice and not not choosing to go for all is the difference
8) Having made their choice, they eat a few items, eat limited quantity, relish it and treat the buffet just like any other meal
9) For them the focus is not on what is available but what they need
10) This is what happens in the real world of Money
11) In a growing Economy like India, a lot of people are having more money than they need
12) But Instead of figuring out what they really need and what they really should do with their lives to feel happy, their focus moves to how to
a) Acquire Even More Money without knowing what to do with it (making money for the sake of making money)
b) Spend money on Stuff that is not their Need
c) Move into Exclusive, Show Off, and One Upmanship Zone
d) Buy stuff which may be Exclusive but Harmful like Drugs
e) Get involved in kinds of vices and bad habits that destroys their Family Equilibrium
f) Get desperate for attention & use money to seek attention and fail miserably at that because money attracts only for a moment
g) Rarely discover happiness
h) Too involved with Self and no Sensitivity for the Ecosystem around
13) Having tons of money is as much a problem as having less money unless one knows how to manage the money
14) Smart Entrepreneurs know there is only so much they can do with Money and beyond that it will not serve them personally
15) If the distance that life allows them to travel is 100 kms then they only need at best 20 litres of fuel which they are very clear about
16) So having 1000 litres means either they leave behind 980 litres as Fuel after them
17) Else they can use their resources to create a better world
18) This is exactly what Bill Gates, Warran Buffet, Azim Premjee, Narayan Murthy, Ratan Tata are doing
19) The beauty about this approach of spending on greater good is that it again attracts abundance and Wealth becomes your reflection
20) Today Valuation of a person means what the world values him or her
21) Wealth flows where Influence grows
22) So whenever we use our resources to enhance the world, more people know us and our influence grows and the market bestows upon us the Wealth of Valuation
23) More awareness about us linked to positive stuff we do for the betterment of the ecosystem leads to Massive Valuations making us Magnets of Wealth
24) So despite of all the money one has it is important to realize one's limitations
25) If we try to consume it all, we will feel as sick as we felt when we over ate at the Buffet
26) Be a Warren Buffett instead of conquering Food at a Buffet..
