Perks I would give on a company

If I owned a company, it would probably be related to music, maybe I would produce music. The perk I would give to my employees would be the following:

• I would allow my employees to work the time they want, whenever they want. On the other hand, I don't want them to slack off, my conditions would be that they have to keep up with their work in time and with excellent quality. There would be zero tolerance for slackers.

Essentially I want my workers to be happy, with that perk only they would be allowed to do whatever they want, always they don't slack off.

Homework

If I hadn't decided to give my best when entering this school nine years ago, I wouldn't be how I am. The fact that this school was way easier than my previous school also helped, I had the opportunity to raise my grades and feel accomplished. The first years of school here, I got to give my best, and little by little I started believing I can do what I want if I am persistent and determined enough. I have truly believed since then I'm intelligent enough to work my way out of any problem or challenge. If I had slacked off during that time, I would care less about school and decision making concerning my life. I wouldn’t really be as thoughtful as I am.

If there was a historical event that changed the world completely, it was when America was discovered. If Columbus had never arrived to the New World, there would be two completely different civilizations in the world. In the east, greater technologies and a history full of war and ambition; in the west, civilizations would have persisted and many cultures would've survived, creating a world completely different to the one we live in.

Warren Buffet

Warren Buffet is considered one of the biggest inversionist in the world. He is the fourth richest man with a personal fortune of 58 billion dollars.

Buffet was born in 1930 in Omaha. Since he was a child, he saved his money and figured out ways to gain more, he used to go door to door selling chewing gum, magazines, or Coca-Cola. He also worked handing out newspapers, which got him interested in the stock market and made him make his first investments; one of them in the Washington Post, whi he still has and refuses to sell.

After all the different businesses he tried, he decided to study economy in the Columbia Graduate Business School, where he was taught by Benjamin Graham, also known as "the father of investment".

Later on, Buffet and Graham worked together by studying the stock market, this was from 1950 to 1956, a period in which Buffet raised his fortune from $9'800 to $140'000.

After Graham retired, Buffet founded Buffet Associates Ltd. and Buffet Partnerships Ltd., both companies worked around the stock market.

In 1965 he bought Berkshire Hathaway, and unificated all of his businesses into this it. He kept raising his fortune by buying other companies.

Buffet used to spend his money wisely, or not spend it at all. He started making intelligent investments that little by little earned him more money, which he would use to invest again or buy businesses.

Buffet was really intelligent, and was also very determined which helped him have his objective clear. Even though neither his father or Graham wanted him to go to Wall Street, he insisted and eventually worked there. He became a millionaire by accomplishing small goals that led him to his big objective.

As Shell points out, Buffett has become one of the world’s wealthiest people by following extremely simple philosophies. He buys into solid businesses that he can easily understand and holds onto the investments for long periods of time. According to him, doing decently well in stocks is “very, very easy.”

His advice for amateur investors is:

“You don’t need to look at the prices of the stocks you own from week-to-week, or month-to-month, or even year-to-year,” says Buffett. “If you own a cross-section of American businesses, and you don’t get excited (and buy) just at the very top, and if you buy in over time, you are going to do well.”

Advice for success

An advice I've read of is to never be afraid of failure, and to act as if you had nothing to lose.

Because if you're afraid of a negative outcome, doubt will rise and your confidence will lower. When someone has noting to lose, failure doesn't matter, and one will keep trying.

I think it's a good advice that tells you that for success, one has got to take risks. The bigger the risk, the bigger the success one has after hard work and effort. It is important to always be full of determination and confidence.
