Warren Buffett,the boy from Nebraska

Man 9:
What was it about himthat allowed him to become
the richest man in the world?
How did he do it?
Warren:
70 years ago,I was in high school.
Almost a third as long
as the country has been around.
And when I was
in high school,
I really only had
two things on my mind...
girls and cars.
And...
and I wasn't doing very well with girls,
so we'll talk
about cars.
But lets just imagine
that when we finish,
I'm going to let each one of you
pick out the car of your choice.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
Pick it out,
any color, you name it,
it'll be tied up with a bow,
and it'll be at your house tomorrow.
And you say,
"Well, what's the catch?"
And the catch is...
that it's the only car you're
going to get in your lifetime.
Now what are you going to do,
knowing that that's the only car
you're ever going to have
and you love that car?
You're going to take care of
it like you cannot believe.
Now what I'd like to suggest
is that you're not going to get
only one car in your lifetime,
but you're gonna get
one body and one mind,
and that's all
you're going to get.
And that body and mind
feels terrific now,
but it has
to last you a lifetime.
I'm on the way
to the office.
It's all
of a five-minute drive.
Been doing it...
for 54 years.
One of the good things
about this five-minute drive
is that on the way there's a McDonald's,
so I'll pick up something.
Woman on speaker: Good morning,
thank you for choosing McDonald's.
Go ahead and order
whenever you're ready.
I'll have a Sausage McMuffin
with egg and cheese.
Woman:
Anything else?That's it, thank you.
Warren:
Yeah,and I tell my wife as I shave in the morning,
I say either $2.61,
$2.95, or $3.17,
and she puts that amount
in a little cup by me here
and that determines
which of three breakfasts I get.
Hi. 2.95.
Okay, 2.95.
There's the two.
How you doing, sir!
Hey, great!
You're on "Candid Camera"!
I see. Hello, everybody!
Warren:
When I'm not feeling quite so prosperous,
I might go with a 2.61,
which is two sausage patties,
and then I put 'em together
and pour myself a Coke.
Hi, how are you?
Hi. I've been good.
3.17 is a bacon, egg,
and cheese biscuit,
but the market's
down this morning,
so I think I'll pass up the
3.17 and go with the 2.95.
Warren:
I like numbers.
It started before
I could remember.
It just felt good,
working with numbers.
I was always playing around with
numbers in one-way or another.
And it was fun to have
a bunch of guys over
and have them betting on which
