I am proposing to create another kind of business, based on "selflessness" that is in all of us. I am calling it social business.

If you want to do something you have to imagine it. If you don’t imagine it, it will never happen

But we have created a society that does not allow opportunities for those people to take care of themselves because we have denied them those opportunities.

There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness - but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: 'Go and become a philanthropist.' I said, 'No, I can do that in the business world, create a different kind of business - a business based on selflessness.'

Business is about problem-solving, but it does not always have to be about maximizing profit. When I went into business, my interest was to figure out how to solve problems I see in front of me. That's why I looked at the poverty issue. I got involved in lots of things to address it, and one of them was money lending with loans and credits and savings accounts, and in the process I created Grameen Bank. So you can also have social objectives. Ask yourself these questions: Who are you? What kind of world do you want?

It's very difficult when you have learned something a certain way. Not only your mind absorbs it; your eyes also are trained to see in a certain way because eyes are only as good as you've been trained to see.

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.
