We strongly support Google’s decision not to accept Chinese censorship of searches made on its system in China. Doing the right thing is the most important thing for people who are not struggling for their survival, especially for rich people, because adding a zero to their earnings doesn’t make a lot of differences to a millionaire or a billionaire, unless he is lost in the money world.

Warren Buffett’s lesson about true success
In 2006, Warren Buffett pledged to give away almost his entire fortune to charities. He is adamant about not funding monuments to himself – no Warren Buffett buildings or halls.

I don’t have to associate with someone who causes my stomach to churn. (Audience laugh) And the only thing in my job I don’t like, and it only happens in about 3 or 4 years, is that occasionally I have to fire somebody. I don’t like that. It is the only thing, other than that, I tap dance to work.

A young man learns what’s most important in life from the guy next

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College,
girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved
clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the
rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past
and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on
his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night.
The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an
old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
