Subject: Re: Happy 95th Birthday Warren
Over the weekend, on Aug. 30th, Warren Buffett, the CEO and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, turned a
young 95. You can belatedly celebrate his 95th birthday by honoring the principles he lives by:

• Eat like a 6-year-old: Buffett has famously stated that he eats like a 6-year-old, citing actuarial tables
that show the lowest death rate among that age group. So, raise a glass of Cherry Coke, grab a burger
from McDonald's, and top it off with a hot fudge sundae from Dairy Queen.

• Invest in what you know: A core tenet of Buffett's investment philosophy is to "invest in what you
understand." To honor this, take time to learn about a company, an industry or a financial concept that
interests you.

• Embrace the "buy and hold" strategy: As a testament to his belief in long-term investing, consider
holding onto a stock you already own or purchasing a new one and committing to keeping it for the
long haul.

• Live within your means: Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is known for living a modest lifestyle in
the same house he bought in Omaha, Nebraska, decades ago. Use his birthday as a reminder to
reflect on your own spending and saving habits.

• Give back: Buffett is a dedicated philanthropist who has pledged to give away most of his vast fortune
to charitable causes. Consider making a charitable donation in his honor to a cause you care about.

• Read his letters to shareholders: Buffett's annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are
full of wit and wisdom. Spend some time reading a few of his past letters to gain insight into his thinking
and learn a few valuable lessons.

• Play a game of bridge: A lifelong bridge enthusiast, Buffett credits the game with sharpening his
mind. Grab some friends and play a few hands in his honor.

Happy 95th Birthday, Warren!
