Currently, the net worth of Warren Buffet is $67 billion. Every year, shareholders stream to Omaha, Nebraska just to hear him speaking about investing. Just a single share of his company is worth $191, 396, which is enough to purchase a house anywhere in the world. There are thousands of articles about his success and a huge number of books, however, not much is said about his spare time. It is not surprising , as in the current culture, Buffett's schedule is more valuable to the readers. Nevertheless, the 5 things below are also worth taking look at:
Read 500 pages daily
Beffett believes, that an answer to the question "how to get smarter" is as simple as just "read 500 pages daily". He reads 80% of his time - reports, journals, financial statements, books and newspapers. He states that the more you read, the more informed you are, the less impulsive you are.
Exercise
Buffett is not eating healthy at all - he loves hamburgers, steaks, pies and drinks coke a lot. Considering that he owns $16 billion in Coca-Cola stock, that seems fair. But once, his doctor has suggested that Buffett either switches to healthier food or exercises. He has chosen the second and looks happy.
Be grateful every single day
Buffett is one of the world’s biggest philanthropists, He has committed millions to the charitable causes and made the world's richest people, such as Bill Gates, to follow his steps. He still lives in the house he bought in 60's for about $32,000, even though it is times more expensive to be his neighbour.
Play games that require patience
Buffett enjoys playing Bridge, which is something like Monopoly, but requires times for patience.Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios and doing calculations all the time. He plays mind games that help him to see the patters of his investments.
Find a hobby
Having a hobby sounds impossible if you work more than 100 hours a week, however, Buffet loves to sing and to play ukulele, which is quite similar to the regular guitar. He even has recorded videos signing about Coca-Cola and duets with Bon Jovi. Sometimes, Buffett writes his own songs.
All of the above things prove that if a world's third richest person is able to find time after work, we all can as well.
