One Skill That Helped Warren Buffett  Thrive

Paul Petrone

April 12, 2017

Warren Buffett has two college degrees, a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a master’s degree from Columbia Business School. And yet, only one diploma hangs on his wall: his certificate for graduating from a Dale Carnegie public speaking course.

Despite his education and early success, Warren had an innate fear of public speaking.
 
To address his fear of speech making, he enrolled in a Dale Carnegie public speaking course.

After learning some “psychological tricks” and being forced to speak in front of the class over and over again, Buffett finally got comfortable speaking in front of an audience.

Today, Buffett conducts countless radio and television interviews and gives speeches across the world, while also serving as CEO of a business with more than 350,000 employees. All of which require strong public speaking skills, and all of which are integral to him becoming one of the richest people in the world.

The process Warren Buffett followed to empower himself with new communication skills:         :

1. he identified an area of weakness that was holding him back – public speaking. 
  
2.  he took time out of his day to learn that skill, which would help him throughout the rest of his career.
 

It took his commitment to identify and to overcome a fear of speech making, time out of his day to learn new skills and to practice them.

Lyrics:
Evening, every night you come and you find me
Why must you always remind me, that my baby's gone
Evening, you got me deeper in your power
Every minute seems like an hour
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone

Quotes by Aristotle Onassis

Listed below are some of his most famous quotes:

1. At your job you must be serious but at life you must be crazy.
2. If there weren’t any women all the money in the world wouldn’t matter.
3. Never start a job, a battle, or a relationship, if the fear of losing overshadows the prospect of success.
4. Take care of your body. Be as good as you can with it. Don’t mind the details. Look at me, I look nothing like a Greek God, but I never wasted my time crying over the bad aspects of myself, remember things are only as bad as you think they are.
5. Every win is an injustice to someone.
6. The secret in business is knowing something nobody else knows.
7. The rule is there is no rules.
8. Be either rich or an enemy of the rich. I understand both, but never be envious of the rich and try to please them at the same time.
9. After a point, and so on, money stops to matter, it stops being the goal, the game is all that matters.
10. To be happy make sure you are tanned, live in expensive buildings, even if you have to stay in the cellar, go out to expensive restaurants, even if you can only afford one drink and if you have to borrow, borrow a lot.
11. Crises give birth to moguls.
12. I don’t have friends or enemies, I have competitors.
13. It is in our darkest moments where we have to focus to see the light.
14. You will understand that if you make things easier for others you will earn their liking.
15. If someone is mediocre he will pass by unnoticed, if he is outrageously successful, he is suspicious.
16. To be successful you have to act big, think big, and talk big.
17. My law in business is to be the one buying not selling.
18. The more you have the more you know you don’t have.
19. I made a big mistake. I never believed that in the world we live in, emotions can overcome every logic in business.
20. The best deals and the best sex happens outside of boundaries.

Linda Ronstadt's amazing cover of Patsy Cline's Crazy

Uploaded on Dec 13, 2011

Okay,it
was 1976, no one was thinking of Patsy. She was far from being the icon
she has been for the last 30 years. But at that time, Linda introduced
this as Willie Nelsons song. the arrangement is superb with the country
guitar lead, terrrific acoustic guitar and Linda's amazing vocal, esp in
the closing part of the song.

Albert Camus's “The Human Crisis” read by Viggo Mortensen, 70 years later

 

00:20 Introduction by Shanny Peer, Director of the Maison Française
05:35 Introduction by Alice Kaplan, Professor of Yale University
11:50 Reading of 'The Human Crisis' by Viggo Mortensen
56:50 Discussion with Viggo Mortensen, Alice Kaplan and Souleymane Bachir Diagne

On
April 28, 2016 a reading by Viggo Mortensen of a speech by Albert
Camus, and roundtable discussion with Viggo Mortensen, Alice Kaplan and
Souleymane Bachir Diagne

Albert Camus originally delivered this
lecture on “La Crise de l’homme” on March 28, 1946, to a very full house
at the McMillin Academic Theatre at Columbia University, on his first
and only trip to the United States. 70 years later, to celebrate
Camus’s visit to New York and Columbia, his lecture will be delivered in
a dramatic reading by the actor Viggo Mortensen, in a version newly
translated into English by Alice Kaplan.

The event will be
introduced by Shanny Peer and by Alice Kaplan, who will share new
research from her forthcoming book, Looking for the Stranger: Albert
Camus and the Life of a Literary Classic, to bring alive Camus’ U.S.
visit and provide a context for his lecture. After the reading, Bachir
Diagne and Alice Kaplan will be joined by Viggo Mortensen for a panel
discussion about Albert Camus’ influence, his impressions of the U.S.,
and his reception in this country as a leading voice of the postwar
generation of French intellectuals.

Participants: Viggo Mortensen
has consistently earned acclaim for his work in a wide range of films.
Some of these include Jauja, Loin des hommes, The Two Faces of January, A
Dangerous Method, The Road, Eastern Promises, Appaloosa, A History of
Violence, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He has received various
nominations and awards from groups including the Screen Actors Guild,
the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association, and the British Academy of Film and
Television Arts. Apart from acting in movies and plays, Mortensen is a
poet, photographer, and painter. He founded and is the editor of
Perceval Press, an independent publishing house specializing in poetry,
photography, painting, and critical writing.

Souleymane Bachir Diagne is Professor of Philosophy and French and Chair, Department of French, Columbia University.

Alice Kaplan is the John M. Musser Professor of French and chair of the Department of French at Yale University.

This
event is organized in partnership with The Albert Camus Estate and is
part of a series of events taking place in New York on the theme of
"Camus : A Stranger in the City" (March 26 – April 19 / @camusnyc2016)
commemorating the 70th year anniversary of Camus’ visit to the United
States.

Tennessee Waltz ( 1959 ) - CONNIE FRANCIS - Lyrics

Written in 1946, first release in 1948.

I was waltzin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

Introduced her to my loved one

And while they were waltzinn'

My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

Now I know just how much I have lost

Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Does your sibling have an addiction? Your well-being needs to be a priority before you can truly help them.

I had a black dog, his name was depression

  

At
its worst, depression can be a frightening, debilitating condition.
Millions of people around the world live with depression. Many of these
individuals and their families are afraid to talk about their struggles,
and don't know where to turn for help. However, depression is largely
preventable and treatable. Recognizing depression and seeking help is
the first and most critical towards recovery.

In collaboration
with WHO to mark World Mental Health Day, writer and illustrator Matthew
Johnstone tells the story of overcoming the "black dog of depression".

"Scotland Is Her Name", sung by (Jacquie Holland) Albannach

A beautiful song sung by Jacquie Holland, written by Jamesie Johnson both
of Albannach. I have put a wee film together round the fabulous words.

• Albannach, Gaelic for "Scottish" or "Scotsman", is a Scottish band. Their traditional music is heavily percussive, driven by bass drums, bodhráns and a single bagpipe. From the first, eponymous album in 2006, Albannach has promoted a sentiment of Scottish patriotism in songs such as "Uprising," a tribute to famed patriot William Wallace; they have covered songs like "1320" by Scottish folk artist Gordon Menzies of the band Gaberlunzie. Several songs on early albums referred to the Island of Barra, the Outer Hebrides home of Albannach's bagpiper, Donnie MacNeil. Vocal songs that survive in the touring repertoire are sung either a cappella or with minimal accompaniment, emphasizing their lyrics. Examples of these include "Scotland is Her Name" and "Peaceful is the Glen"; the latter commemorates the Massacre of Glencoe, while the former is more directly topical and even political in its implied support for an independent Scotland. With these exceptions, the bulk of the touring repertoire, and of the band's discography, remains instrumental.{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albannach_(band)}

Scotland the Brave
Lyrics

Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

The Rhine Area Pipes & Drums - Duesseldorf
http://www.rapd.de/

Drum Major: Jürgen Uhrig

»Military Music Festival Cologne 2004«

After
an intensive training with experts from the BAOR (British Army of the
Rhine) the German bagpipe band was founded in 1977. The band's public
appearances help to make the scottish bagpipes more popular in Germany.

The
song was written by Paul McCartney and bandmate Denny Laine in tribute
to the picturesque Kintyre peninsula in Argyll & Bute, Scotland,
where McCartney had owned a home and recording studio since the late
1960s.

Lyrics:
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
