I picked up the book at my local library because I remembered a story told in grade school about a snowball rolling down a hill. I never did understand it then but now I do. It starts from one snowflake. Someone packs it with hundreds of small snowflakes and rolls it into a ball. Then the person starts to roll it in the snow on the ground and everywhere he/she can go making it larger. He/she can stop at the edge of his/her property or take it everywhere he/she can go or wants to go. The rest is up to you on how you interpet this analogy.

Mr. Warren Buffett's life is just that he started with one idea and then he added more ideas and more people. The people he met in different universities that he attended as a student and the knowledge he gained when he read everything about stocks, how to make a $1,000 and many more. He also learned about the crash of 1929 and that it was borrowed money that was lost. I wonder is our electronic trading borrowed money and when large, medium and small companies fold or go under what will happen to the government that has been bailing them out at times and the government run banks? These are questions I think of when reading his biography.

I find it sad though, that he hosts this party in 2003 and he really isn't the center of attention. That he is content with just reading and staying to himself. All his life he has done things to be the center of attention. Has he changed his character because everyone wants him. I think not. Maybe he uses a double because someone else is always wanting to dethrone him from his mountain. And using a double at an event isn't wise because that person can be the one who dethrones you. His biography is written by Alice Schroeder.

One piece of information that is worthy is that knowledge is the key to success in any quest life has to offer and that you are willing to participate in.

I am continuing reading as he sure did have his ups and downs and there is a wealth of knowledge to be obtained for any business venture or lifestyle a person wants to attain.
