An individual poor person is an isolated island by himself and herself. IT can end that isolation overnight.

So i say, change the base! If you change the base, anybody will be as tall as anybody else! My belief is poverty is not caused by poor ppl. Poverty is caused by the system. Poverty is caused by the policies that we pursue.

Poor people are bonsai people. There is nothing wrong in their seeds. Simply, society never gave them the base to grow on. All it needs to get the poor people out of poverty for us to create an enabling environment for them. Once the poor can unleash their energy and creativity, poverty will disappear very quickly.

Making money is a happiness. And that's a great incentive. Making other people happy is a super-happiness.

Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in.

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

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