Some observations from real billionaires

Here are some thoughts from Warren Buffett.

A. Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Never forget Rule #1.

B. Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don't expect it from cheap people.

C. If you're in the lucky 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%.

Here are some thoughts from Bill Gates:

D. Life is not fair get, used to it!

E. The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.

F. Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.

Here are some thoughts from Mark Cuban:

G. It’s called working your ass off.

H. Always look for the fool in the deal. If you don’t find one, it’s you.

I. Treat your customers like they own you. Because they do.

Here are some thoughts from Michael Bloomberg:

J. I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven’t had any moral compass, who’ve just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they’re losers.

K. We can only create good jobs if we make smarter investments in infrastructure and do more to support small businesses, not stiff them.

L. Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.

NONE OF THIS SOUNDS LIKE TRUMP!
