“I’m a good businessman because I’m an investor, and I’m a good investor because I’m a businessman.” - Warren Buffet
“Your life depends on the quality of relationships you develop. That’s why you’ve got to develop relationships with good people…Invest in yourself. Invest in building your character, because character leads to success.”
Dr. George Athanassakos is a professor of finance, and chair of value investing at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario.

These qualities include humility, patience, independence, discipline, having a conservative mindset, and being contrarian.
