Carlos Slim Quotations

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

I love baseball. And American Football, too. But not rugby.

No, my father passed away when I was 13 years old. I was very young.

Staying occupied displaces preoccupation and problems, and when we face our problems, they disappear.

Choose the right employees and then set them loose.

I think that anything that has privileges have responsibility and all people that is clear about their responsibility has compromise.

All businesses make mistakes. The trick is to avoid large ones.

Firm and patient optimism always yields its rewards.

I think one of the big errors people are making right now is thinking that old-style businesses will be obsolete, when actually they will be an important part of this new civilization. Some retail groups are introducing e-commerce and think that the bricks are no longer useful. But they will continue to be important.

Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets… any sound investment will eventually pay off.
