Spark Of The Corporate

Warren Buffet

Chairman & CEO,

Berkshire Hathaway

  It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it....

For somebody born during the so-called first great depression and, subsequently, raised in a healthy, value-based yet progressive environment, to pick up an interest in the stock market - when the ideal virtue, and hence, the choice would have been to work hard to earn your bread- would have gone down as just an aberration if the person who did that hadn,t turned out to be one of the most successful businessmen whose life itself became the master-book on investing. He was named the top money manager of the 20th Century (Survey by the Carson Group, ahead of Peter Lynch and John Templeton) in 1999.

This write-up is not in the least trying to say what hasn,t been already said, talked or written about Warren Edward Buffet. Rather, it is -more or less- a celebration of the personality that Buffet is. Such are the achievements, accomplishments, and successes (I,m already running out of nouns, adjectives won,t stand a chance!) of this very simple genius who, in the final analysis, will also have earned recognition as one of the most outstanding human beings this planet has ever seen. Not for his shrewd investments, not for being the torch-bearer of the bulls in the face of the raging bears, and not even for chartering his own path of success and showing the path to millions of others. What will stand out though will be his approach toward life: extract the maximum out of life - not by short-cuts (it is quite ironic that most tend to think investing in stocks to be a short-cut to making a quick-buck as opposed to Buffet, who always treated it as a business) by thinking, working-hard, not being afraid to take decisions for both, self as well as common good, staying rooted to the core values of life, and at the end of it all, giving back to the world in his own way.

Any amount of praise is less for Warren Buffet, so one is better off talking about something else. But one is tempted to at least say, 'Thank you Mr. Buffet for being such a great example: of wisdom, vision, simplicity, and humility."
