Hey 2.0ers thinking about getting rich. Look at how these guys do it, here are some very interesting aspects of Warren Buffet's life, the second richest man in the world who has donated $31 billion to charity.

1. He bought his first share 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 mid-town 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 share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd.. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and wat ch 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.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet

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; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don't wast e your money on unnecessary things; just spend on things that you really need.
F. After all it's your life, then why give others the chance to rule your life."

What Truly Ails Kenya

Are we experiencing post colonial blues or are we suffering from something more sinister: learned helplessness? I've been following with some interest the ongoing discussions by the National Dialogue Team and juxtaposing those with the general mood in the country.

What strikes you almost immediately is the collective sentiment among the public that if the Annan team fails to strike a deal and then all is lost. Kenya as we used to know it ceases to exist.

In my musings I've been trying to understand when we fell into this abyss that we are finding rather difficult to climb out of, where it's become a do or die with the negotiation teams and failure has been declared a non-option (and perhaps rightly so).

What strikes me though is that we seem incapable of formulating our own ideas. For many years, the previous regime perpetually reminded us that it was both father and mother and we, quite shockingly, believed it. Our thought processes are so dominated by a spectacular sense of fear, we have prematurely resigned ourselves to the notion that unless bwana or memsahib tells us what to do and how to behave then we are finished, that if bwana and memsahib do not make up, then we cannot be friends, we cannot move on.

I think we lost ourselves in the last election. Our illustrious politicians capitalized on our fears of domination, of others, of not having enough, and not being enough, to the extent that picking the "right" person became a matter of survival. And now we find ourselves at an impasse as to what we can or cannot do with the choices we have made thus far.

But our power to choose was and is not limited to the events of December 27^th. We are not as oppressed as we are led to believe. As individuals who make up communities, we can change our perceptions about our circumstances; we can unlearn helplessness and realize that we can determine our own destinies. That is a universal truism.

Our "friends" in the west only remain so in as far as their primary interests in our country are not interfered with. Have you noticed the kind of veiled pleasure these prophets of doom seem to by declaring our demise?

When the US made the unilateral decision to wage war against Iraq, I scarcely remember them seeking counsel from Kenya, let alone any other country. Why is it then that we are so eager to dispense with our own sovereignty? Why are we so willing to have them issue directives and ultimatums concerning our governance? Why can't I decide, as a Kenyan, if there's any utility in having a prime minister

Waiting for the 20:08 to Peace

Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has had a long background in diplomacy, and no doubt his pledge to stay in Kenya for as long as it took, or until the negotiations reached an irreversible point, will be comforting the many Kenyans around the country who are impatient for an end to the crisis and a return to normalcy. gatharacartoon

The Treasury is inviting all Kenyans and stakeholders in the Kenyan economy to participate in putting together ideas and proposals for consideration as it crafts the next budget, 2008-2009.

In the circular published on the internt, the Treasury Permanent Secretary Joseph Kinyua asks that such proposals take into consideration the aspirations of Vision 2030 and in particular such measures as would enable the government to achieve its objectives of rapid economic growth, wealth and employment creation and other such measures as would lead to greater economic development and a reduction in poverty.

We hope that we can use this space below to discuss possible initiatives, and following the Treasury's proposal, that we can categorise them as follows,

a) Measures to encourage private sector growth and investment

b) Measures to address matters of regional integration

c) Limitations of the current economic and financial policy framework and suggestions for improvement.

d)Other issues aimed at improving the functioning of the economy.

Find the full circular here . (PDF)

Final proposals ought to be sent to the Treasury before the 7th of March at

budget2008@treasury.go.ke.
