Ziad K. Abdelnour Quotes

Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseeking quant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, their lack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematical genius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci, but that does not make it daVinci. Creating wealth is personal. It is creating assets, creating value, or whatever act of self-perpetuation that drives us to create a legacy.
