I don't believe in Luck. Hardworking Pays. History says Luck never striked to lazy people.

 

hey.. did you know him?

http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/1UFS.html so many rich indian guys

 

I think that the reason some people are mad at him is due to his business tactics

EDIT: to be honest, I would've expected Lawrence Ellison to be a tad higher on the list!

 

way too far!

2 Indians in TOP25 and 4 in TOP100. It should be better than that.

 

in india some more like our politicians but all their is black money otherwise there will be some more in top 25

 

Does anyone think there are people out there with more money than gates? People on black markets who have a lot more money than that, they just cant make it official? Columbian drug lords etc...

 

what about bad luck?

In fact i was talking about risk last night. Outcome:

In business there will always be risk but with realistic judgements and hard work you should be able to mitagate most of the risk associated with a project.

I wonder Bolkiah is not on the list..

 

. No way its too much money too hide $40 billion.

Warren Buffet is second isn't he?

 

He is on list second too yes... u right...

 

Luck does have a part to play. Do you think Bill Gates would have been the richest man if he had been born to a poor farmer in some corner of Africa?

Opportunity is the first step to success - and life is not fair in giving opportunities to all. I am not playing down the importance of hard work, but background and location does play a part in the success of a person.

 

Sachin I agree with your statement!

 

What's the point in being the richest ?? when you hate being that way
I mean, i read an article on him saying he doesnt like being the world's number one, I seriously prefer higher moderate income rather than useless riches ...
What do you guys think ??

Too much money. Too much problems. I prefer just enough.

 

everything too much is bad.
