Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.  ;D ;D ;D

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it.

A man may be in as just possession of truth as of a city, and yet be forced to surrender.

This is called leadership!:

The chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel has topped the Forbes list of 100 powerful women for the second year in a row. Not only is she in control of the large European country of Germany, but she is also using her power to tackle challenging issues. Merkel set a challenging target to cut carbon emissions in Europe and argued her case successfully with G-8 leaders. The powerful German woman has an approval rating in her home country of 75%, even after raising taxes.

In the past a leader was a boss. Today’s leaders must be partners with their people.. they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.

Many business leaders today view their jobs as entailing responsibility for the welfare of the wider community. These individuals do not define themselves as profit-making machines whose only reason for existing is to satisfy escalating expectation for immediate gain.

Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.

Warren Buffet? Hello, everybody has to be determined for success, and not succumb to temporary failures. Warren Buffet held Coca cola shares worth 1.3 bn US$ for MANY years in LOSS. It took him many years to just break even. However, his investment in Coca cola proved to be one of the most lucrative ones.

Bin Laden? Check wikipedia. His father was a rich businessman.

Alwaleed? He took a 300000 dollars loan from his dad, the king of Saudi Arabia to start his first venture! He bought Citigroup shares back in 1991, when noone would step in! He was able to sell them at around 30-60 dollar/share price. But his bad luck was that he sold most of them in 2007, when citigroup started tumbling. As a result, his net worth is now substantially less than a few years ago. The Citigroup shares are now around only $4!!! Due to a rundown in the financial system!

Please read success stories from reliable sources!

according to wikipedia which u claim as accurate
it states*The family traces its origins to a poor, uneducated Hadhrami named Awad bin Laden, a Kendah tribesman from the village of Al Rubat, in the Wadi Doan in the Tarim Valley, Hadramout Province, Yemen. He died in 1919*
 His son was Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (died 1967). Mohammed bin Laden was a native of the Shafi`i (Sunni) Hadhramaut coast in southern Yemen and emigrated to Saudi Arabia prior to World War I.He set up a construction company and came to Abdul Aziz ibn Saud's attention through construction projects, later being awarded contracts for major renovations at Mecca, where he made his initial fortune from exclusive rights to all mosque and other religious building construction not only in Saudi Arabia, but as far as Ibn Saud's influence reached.*

PRINCE ALWALEED BIN TALAL was not what you call a proper royal,he was born to a lebanese woman.Therefore had no access to proper wealth of Saudi royal family.
With an initial investment of $550 million

A poor, uneducated native of the Shafi`i (Sunni) Hadhramaut coast of south Yemen, Mohammed bin Laden emigrated to Saudi Arabia before World War I, initially working as a porter in Jeddah. In 1930, he started his own construction business and after coming to the attention of Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, first monarch of Saudi Arabia, he eventually achieved such success that his family became known as "the wealthiest non-royal family in the kingdom."
