A university should not be an island where academics attain higher and higher levels of knowledge without sharing any of this knowledge with its neighbours.

One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.

I will not spend the money for myself. I will rather spend it in special business on a no-profit-no-loss policy. We will also establish an eye hospital where even beggars will be given treatment at the cost of Taka 10-20.

Policies are also to blame: the only thing that the governments and people can come up with to give to the poor people is charity. Poor people get hand outs from the state. But this is not a solution to poverty.

I should never seek a job in my life, my mission in life is to create jobs. I am not a job seeker, I am a job giver.

Money begets money. If you don't have that, you wait around to be hired by somebody at the mercy of others. If you have that money in your hand, you desperately try to make the best use of it and move ahead. And that's generating income for yourself.

The fact that the poor are alive is clear proof of their ability.
