100 Years Is Enough: Time to Make the Fed a Public Utility - Ziad Abdelnour

The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done.

There are situations where the best solution still doesn't make everyone happy. The trick is understanding what's best.

Too many people today on Wall Street go for the quick
buck at the expense of their reputation and client satisfaction, the
rationale being “let’s make the money while we can and retire early
in the sun.” For me, this is not a sprint but a marathon, besides the
fact that, in my definition, overnight success is 15 years. Anyone who
does not understand the basic tenets of this philosophy is not someone
I can or will do business with.
