Carlos Slim Thinking Quotations

At 25, I made many companies. I was thinking more like a businessman or entrepreneur than a CEO. I created many companies, small companies, medium companies. I tried to be involved in many kinds of activities, in finance, in real estate, in mining.

I think that anything that has privileges have responsibility and all people that is clear about their responsibility has compromise.

I think one of the big errors people are making right now is thinking that old-style businesses will be obsolete, when actually they will be an important part of this new civilization. Some retail groups are introducing e-commerce and think that the bricks are no longer useful. But they will continue to be important.

When you live for others' opinions, you are dead. I don't want to live thinking about how I'll be remembered.
