I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso.

My mother born in Mexico, but was Lebanese in origin. She born 1902 the same year my father arrived to Mexico when he was 14 years old.

I am convinced that all this poverty in Mexico and in Latin America, like it's happening in China is the opportunity to grow. It's an opportunity for investment; it's an economic activity and to take out poverty is the best investment any person or a person can do in any place.

Competition makes you better, always, always makes you better, even if the competitor wins.

Focus on essentials and try not to get distracted and bogged down by things that don't add value to the bottom line.

Live the present intensely and fully, do not let the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each person forges his or her own destiny.

I still have my laptop but I haven't used it. I'm a paper man, not electronic.
