HOW MEN AND WOMEN DIFFER



NICKNAMES* If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.* If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes


EATING OUT* When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $50, even though it's only for $115.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.* When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY* A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.* A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale


BATHROOMS* A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from Dischem.* The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.


ARGUMENTS* A woman has the last word in any argument.* Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument


CATS* Women love cats.* Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.


FUTURE* A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.* A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.


SUCCESS* A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.* A successful woman is one who can find such a man.


MARRIAGE* A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.* A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.


DRESSING UP* A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the post.* A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.


NATURAL* Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.* Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


OFFSPRING* Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret-fears and hopes and dreams.* A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY* Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Wanna be a Rich man..?


Second Richest Man in the world

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the secondrichest man who has donated $31 billion (85% of his fortune) to charity.

Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that hestarted too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from deliveringnewspapers.

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 haseverything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or afence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver orsecurity people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he ownsthe world's largestprivate jet company.

6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes onlyone letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goalsfor the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

7) 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

8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past timeafter he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watchtelevision.

9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common withWarren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. Butwhen Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gatesbecame a devotee of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on hisdesk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and investin yourself.

BE A MODEST PERSON !!!
