These two men have done a lot for themselves and their generation. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet recently took a tour of Nebraska Furniture Mart, a super-successful megastore owned by Berkshire.
They had some important things to say about business and being successful.
Warren Buffett:
“Being successful at almost anything means having a passion for it. If you see somebody with even reasonable intelligence and a terrific passion for what they do and who can get people around them to march even when those people can’t see over the top of the next hill. Things are going to happen.”
Bill Gates:
“Building Microsoft was incredibly fun, and because we were right about software we had the wind at our back. So when I got into philanthropy, the idea of could I do it twice, and in an area where the feedback isn’t quite as obvious as what you’re doing right and wrong.”
“Now I can say that we’ve got this organization that is so much fun to be a part of. So it’s not only a great organization but it’s got these metrics that at least on some of them we’ve exceeded our own expectations.”
Watch the two have a blast in the video below.
