In his expression of thanks, Eng. Carlos Slim Helú said, “It has been very pleasing for me, and I am deeply grateful, it has been even exciting and special that this major distinction is given to me.”
And he shared a few words with the youngsters, especially a letter he wrote over 30 years ago, more relevant today than ever, where he stated, “Live with no fears and no regrets. Fear is the worst feeling human beings can have. It makes us weak, inhibits us from action and depresses us. Living with fear is the worst that can happen to us, and regret is a burden. That is, go to confession. In our thinking and acting, and in our life, fears and regrets make the present difficult and hamper the future. Get rid of them, fears and regrets!”
