Wisdom comes in different ways. Here is one good example. This is an interview conducted recently by Andrew Denton of ABC Television, Australia with Muhammad Yunus, the recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.
p.s. the original footage on video lasts for about an hour. Highly recommended.

ANDREW DENTON: You believe in a thing called social business, what is that and why would that be more attractive than the idea making money?

MUHAMMAD YUNUS: See making money is an exciting thing. You can find a lot of pleasure in making money. Changing the world is the most exciting thing in the world. We have to make a decision that I will not live my life in a way that will take away the enjoyment of life for another person- that simple decision, that’s all.

MUHAMMAD YUNUS: That business would be to change the world, in that business everything for others nothing for me. And people say, “Oh are you sure that you can build business out of this”. All I am saying, not giving it away, I’m talking about investing it, when you invest you can take your money back but the machine keeps running because it is a business because business has to make profit. Profit continues it but you don’t get anything out of it.
