I MUST be a mogul, I just don’t have have the resources (money, time, people willing to take my crap because I know I’m right all the time).

Anybody hiring moguls in training?

Yes Bing, once again you are right on. I worked for a mogul who presided over a fabulously large empire of businesses. He was so rich everyone in management got paid top dollar for their services(me included). He thought nothing of calling people at odd hours with his newest ‘idea’. He would also saunter late into staff meetings and interrupt the VP to say we should all just hop on a bus and head out to Disneyland on the companys dime. (That never happened of course). He was crazy as hell. He also did cocaine during work hours. True story.

hmmmm, I never seen Donald Trump and Warren Buffet wera a Bluetooth headset in TV. I think those are wannabe Moguls.

They are also shallow, self absorBed nitwits who waste their lives. No thanks, they should be laughed at, not emulated.

It;s the game they love;money is a reward for doing it right.

I worked for the guy you described. The funny thing is, in the big picture of things, he was small potatoes – his company netted a couple million a year. But within the confines of the office, he was the MOGUL and had all the traits you described.

bing.

shoot me straight. im a 25 year old guy, who displays 1/2 the qualities you discribed. and secretly yearn for the others. (not exactly)

if i am aspiring to be a mogul or at least mogulesque, doest that automatically mean im going to hell? just weighing my options. everyone has to have an exit strategy.

My experience with a power mogul follows:
1. Computer rested in bed separating spouses (rumored).
2. First in parking lot signaled the work force that the mogul is in house and ready to kick a–.
3. Swimming pool acts as a damper on any physical attraction.
4. Hold conference calls with one phone in each ear and talking into speaker phone.
5. Yelling gives way to screaming with siliva spewing at the target.
6. Blind passion for one’s hobby in public displays one’s discomfort zone.
7. Addiction to one’s sphere of influence results from fear of being dispossessed.

We are exactly what we were born to be; belief that outside influences molded our character is sheer folly.

You might be right on, but these are hardly all good qualities I’d want to emulate. There are lots of successful people that are able to manage their time, go home early, and have a life outside of work–which is far more important than being a “mogul.”

Oh, I can’t stand the thought of Warren Buffet yelling at someone…or looking at a naked woman, now that I think about it.

Don’t forget Acai and wheat grass. Blueberries are yesterday’s vitamin powerhouse and so…domestic! Bing they have Omega 3s, haha.

In brief, they are a bunch of losers. So bad manners and lack of social, sexual or family life make you a mogul? I don’t need all their money to live like a king.

I’d like to know exactly where and how regularly naked women walk past Warren Buffett while he’s playing bridge.

I can only assume from his quote that it’s happened at least a few times.

Here is another example of paraphrasing a quote and changing the meaning. This is done constantly by the media. Bing are you a member of the media?

If W.B. indicated that he is so focused on his game that he does not notice outside influences (such as a naked woman), he has not indicated that he prefers his hobby to naked women. For you to then state that he prefers his hobby to naked women is a reckless distortion of what the man actually said. Reckless, I say.

Cheers,

I think one of the most interesting comments came from the person who wondered where Mr. Buffett was playing poker in proximity to naked women. I never get to go to those places.

Now you’ve got him playing poker. I don’t think he likes the typical Las Vegas games. He is too smart for that.

Cheers again.
