Kapag pera nag usapin, medyo sensitibo dyan ang mga Pinoy. Iba iba kasi ang sitwasyon natin pagdating sa pera, merong mayaman sa pera, tamang tama lang at meron din naghihingahos. Ganun pa man, kahit nasa anong kategorya ka, sigurado meron kang iisiping problema.
Problema ng mga mayayaman kung pano nila gagastusin ang mga pera nila. Meron dyan ang bumibili ng kung anu-ano para lang gumasta. At sa pagtatapos ng araw, namomroblema pa rin kung pano gagastuhin ang pera kinabukasan. Hay! ang sarap siguro kapag nakahiga ka sa pera ano?
Ang mga tamang tama lang ay pinoproblema naman ang mga ekstrang gastusin. Pagkatpos mag-todo shopping ay subsob ulit sa trabaho upang muli'y kumita. At ang mga luho na hindi na pwedeng pagbigyan dahil sa sapat lang ang kinikita ay siyang nasasakripisyo. Ito marahil ang sitwasyon ng nakararami.
At marahil alam niyo na kung ano ang problema ng walang pera, hindi ko na po siguro kelangan palawakin pa, hindi ba?
Pero hindi naman talaga usapin ang pera pagdating sa ating mga Pinoy. Mas importante pa rin ang pakikitungo natin sa kapwa at ang pala-kaibigan upang higit tayong yumaman, hindi man sa salapi, kundi sa mga kaibigan.
Hayaan niyong ibahagi ko sa inyo ang ipinasang e-mail ng isa kong kaibigan :
There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.
Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:
1. He bought his first share of stock at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same, small 3-bedroom house in midtown Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies.He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your shareholder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His pastime after he gets home is to make himself some popcorn and watch television.
8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So, he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
His advice to young people: 'Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself, and remember:
A. Money doesn't create man, but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say. Just listen to them, but do what makes you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name. Wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things. Spend on those who really are in need.
F. After all, it's your life. Why give others the chance to rule it ?
Karangalan ang pinag-usapang sa 'Our Daily Bread - Jun 13' na pinamagatang The Greatest Honor. At gaya nang ibinahagi ko, karangalan din ang nakamit ni Warren Buffet dahil sa pupursige niya sa buhay, na kahit nakamit na niya ang rurok ng tagumpay, pilit pa rin siyang nagpapakumbaba. Nawa'y maging inspirasyon siya sa atin.
Life's labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies.
While heaven and earth combine to say,
"How blest the righteous when he dies!"
