Warren Buffett is the world's second-richest person after Bill Gates. The 2oo3 global rich list: Bill Gates $4o7 billion, Warren Buffett $3o5 billion. Such a world-class billionaire lives extremely simply.

Once, Gates described Warren Buffett in Harvard Business Review like this: "Recently we brought our wives on a vacation to China, Warren Buffett kept telling jokes along the way, making us laugh until we held our stomachs. I think his eating habits?? often eating hamburgers and Coca-Cola?? are very good. To be honest, I have become his admirer. Being with Warren Buffett again, you would feel how passionate he is about his work. At any time and place, he shows this feeling."

Hamburgers and Coca-Cola are ordinary, ordinary, common food; the world's billionaire Warren Buffett eats and laughs. Simple and casual, happy and low-key.

When Warren Buffett was 2o years old, he once told the people working alongside him: 'At 3o I will become a millionaire; after 4o I will become a world-class billionaire.' The people who worked with him thought Warren Buffett was bragging about being a world-class big shot.

Through his own effort and diligence, Warren Buffett fulfilled his original promise, turning ideals into reality. He became a world-class billionaire. As the world-class Warren Buffett, his life remained that simple and low-key, eating nothing but hamburgers, drinking nothing but Coca-Cola.

Remembering Qin Keqing, the young mistress of the Jia Family from Dream of the Red Chamber, on her deathbed she sent a dream to Wang Xifeng, the Jia Family's most prominent figure at the time, saying: 'When the moon is full, it begins to wane..........' She repeatedly urged Wang Xifeng to be thrifty and frugal, and not to think about the future, for that is ultimately not a long-term strategy; all glory and wealth are merely fleeting clouds, passing in an instant. Moreover, one must not be 'arrogant in wealth and status'; 'arrogant in wealth and status brings blame upon oneself.'

The American billionaire Warren Buffett may also be well-versed in the life philosophy of our ancient Daoist founder Laozi, 'Arrogant in wealth and status brings blame upon oneself'——

「Arrogant in wealth and status brings blame upon oneself。——

Once wealthy, one becomes numb and insensitive, extravagant and wasteful; that is self-destruction. \
