Being is the essence out of which all things evolve. This blog is an ongoing conversation of being in various facets and areas of life, including the personal and the professional from which relationships of all kinds are formed and teams built in all communities, virtual or real, at home, at work, in politics and at play.

Being an Oracle, Whiz and Rapper
There is just something enjoyable about these three, Buffett, Gates and Ludacris, sitting courtside.
Three generations of variance, but perhaps some sameness.
Bros - Appearances can be deceiving, lifestyles too. I often wonder about the sameness of us, even amid the starkest seemingly difference. What might they have in common?
Buffett is probably one of the most modest guys in America and Gates has often spoken about his lean lifestyle (in comparison to his wealth, that is,) and what he will NOT leave his children.
Buffett has given 31 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which helps the poor in underdeveloped countries. Don't know much about Ludicris, save he's got some good beats and he's a pretty good actor. He's probably gleaning from the other two and they from him.
What a terrific photo. Talented...check. Self made...check. Philanthropists (some more than others for now)...check. Different folks, different generations with much in common. Something about Bill Gates at a basketball game however...

Sameness?! Finding it hard to spot a similarity apart from the lavish lifestyle. But, a nice image!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!

We all have something to share.
Judith,
