<\/a>The world has not seen very many people like Warren Buffett. A guy who starts from a modest and simple life and grows on to such great heights just based on his \u201cpassion\u201d. Of course, his donation has made history and is going to remain the single most important act of self-lessness. Here is a nice video of his indepth interview with Charlie Rose<\/a>.

\u201cYou should use<\/strong> the stock market and not take instructions<\/strong> from it\u201d<\/p>\n

To which he says rather humorously that a person waiting to learn to have passion when he gets mature is like leaving ones sex life for the old age! Do whatever you want to do with passion right from the word go!! So do things right at the outset!<\/p>\n
