Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
In the few years since The Tao of Meow was first published, Waldo Japussy has become a cult figure, receiving fan mail not only from other cats but from human beings as well! His book has gone through 18 printings and is still gaining momentum! The Tao of Meow is an original philosophic statement by Waldo, who was the eldest cat in the household of Rose and Carl Japikse. Carl was about to throw away papers that had been "ruined" by Waldo walking on them, when he realized that the paw prints formed a coherent pattern. Carl sat down to try to make sense of Waldo's "writings." Months later, he had deciphered the text of a poem that rivaled in beauty and content Lao Tzu's ancient verses, the Tao Te Ching -- from a cat's purrspective.

The Tao of Warren Buffett
Author: Mary Buffett
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416544267
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
A collection of the inspiring words and wisdom from America's favorite businessman that reveal his secrets of success from the bestselling authors of Buffettology and The New Buffettology. Like the sayings of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu, Warren Buffett's worldly wisdom is deceptively simple and enormously powerful in application. In The Tao of Warren Buffett, Mary Buffett—author of three books on Warren Buffett's investment methods—joins noted Buffettologist and international lecturer David Clark to bring you Warren Buffett's smartest, funniest, and most memorable sayings with an eye toward revealing the life philosophy and the investment strategies that have made Warren Buffett, and the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, so enormously wealthy. Warren Buffett's investment achievements are unparalleled. He owes his success to hard work, integrity, and that most elusive commodity of all, common sense. The quotations in this book exemplify Warren's practical strategies and provide useful illustrations for every investor—large or small—and models everyone can follow. The quotes are culled from a variety of sources, including personal conversations, corporate reports, profiles, and interviews. The authors provide short explanations for each quote and use examples from Buffett's own business transactions whenever possible to illustrate his words at work. As Warren says: "You should invest in a business that even a fool can run, because someday a fool will." "No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant." "Our method is very simple. We just try to buy businesses with good-to-superb underlying economics run by honest and able people and buy them at sensible prices. That's all I'm trying to do." The Tao of Warren Buffett inspires, amuses, sharpens the mind, and offers priceless investment savvy that anyone can take to the bank. This irresistibly browsable and entertaining book is destined to become a classic.
