Money is so hard to give away – Lessons from Bill Gates and Warren Buffet

Heard @ a dinner address tonight :

Bill Gates amassed such a fortune which at one time was valued at almost US$100billion.

When one such as Bill comes to such a level, you can only imagine that money starts to lose it’s meaning.

So what did Bill decide to do as the world’s richest man?

Bribing your way through the N.S. highway

“Good afternoon sir!” The traffic police officer beamed as I lowered my car window.

“erm… hi.” I replied flatly. Not feeling too friendly since I just got flagged down at the police roadblock, as usual.

“Yes sir, our cameras caught you speeding @ 121km/h near the 71 marker.” The policeman continued almost enthusiatically.

And then he paused, staring intently @ me with his eyebrows raised.

Are you travelling with your burdens?

Petrol prices have more than doubled in recent years. And my car is a real guzzler.

I remember there was once I had this super heavy luggage bag @ the back of my car and it was so heavy I was just lazy to get it out…. put it off for weeks literally.

When do your accidents happen?

I’ve clocked more than 200,000km in mileage to date.

Don’t know if I should be ashamed or proud to say this – but I’ve only ever had 3 accidents in my driving career.

But I’m definitely ashamed to say that…

One Wrong Turn

Ever made a wrong turn on the highway?

Outcome can be disasterous, right?

I have made many wrong turns which resulted in more than 1 hour detours … man.

The sinking feeling….

Slow… and steady

Continuing on yesterday’s topic of the fast lane – Have you noticed in some highway jams it’s usually the fast lane that gets jammed up first?

Well, at least it’s true where I drive

So imagine you are cruising along the highway of life and you see all these people whizzing past you on the fast lane.

Better jobs, nicer cars, bigger houses.

BHAM!!!!

I haven’t started a single publicity for this blog.

None of my friends know about it.

But …

Fast Lane?

I like to be on the fast lane, when I’m running late.

But most times, I just like to keep things relaxed and ride comfortably along the middle lane.

And then I see all those cars whizzing by on the fast lane.

…

The beginning..

First of all, let me welcome you my fellow co-sojourner on this highway of life!

Before I start to share with you the many lessons I have learnt, let’s talk about how it all started. Get comfortable cause we’re gonna be on this journey together for a little while, I hope?

The highway reflects life in so many ways, don’t you think?! The colors, the variations, the journeying, the people, and THE WAY PEOPLE BEHAVE ON THE ROAD!!
