Warren Buffett
I like Warren Buffett very much but not for his being the richest man in the world but because of his humility and deep insight and understanding of whatever is happening around him especially in the field of finance and investments. Another and perhaps the most important reason is that he loves his work very much.
He has often said in his interviews and written communications that he loves his work not because of the money it earns him but because he likes and loves to do what he is doing. His words are amply supported by the fact that he has not thought of retiring even at the ripe age of 75 + .
His love for his work was also proved when somebody asked him what will he be doing 10 years from now (2008). His answer was he will continue doing same thing he is doing now. In fact he is doing the same thing for last more than 30 years i.e. investments.
These are the reasons people should really admire him because then they can try to taste success in their own fields also instead of trying to become wealthy by doing investment business. He never wants people to copy or imitate him that’s why he never recommends any stock to others.
He has said many times that one should do whatever one loves to do, is passionate to do and then money and success follows as a consequence, as a shadow.
