After I uploaded my letter of "Your
Selling 36056 Berkshire Class B"
on 10 March 2009 about the number 36056 is like saying: "…Bill
Gates III end A.M. zeroing fifty six", then came the news on 11
March 2009 about your regaining the first
position again in the Forbes magazine list of richest persons in the
world. It becomes important for me related with the numbers, 58 and 40.
According to Forbes, "Gates regained his title
as the richest man in the world, with $40 billion, after slipping to
third last year when he was worth $58 billion. Buffett, last year's
richest man, fell to second place."
Despite losing $18 billion in the past year,
you reclaimed the title of richest man in the world this year with a
total net worth of $40 billion.
Your third position last year with $58
billion, was like related with my birth year of 1958, in which I was
born on 17 May 1958. While your first position this year with $40
billion is like related with my consent to move to the eternity, to
become zero in my life on earth. Because my name is Firman which in
German or English "fir" has the meaning of "four", so "40" is like "Firman
to become zero".
In other words, after the third position with
$58 billion last year, your first position with $40 billion this year is
like connected with my having to born again to meet the end of my life
probably through the "test".
As if it has been in God's scenario, therefore I can spend the rest of my life
with more meaningful activities.
