Medicine has taught me to be very much evidence-based and data-driven in making decisions.  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) I’ve spent my entire life working to invest in human beings and human communities, to help them move down the path of economic development.  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) The relationship between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala fundamentally changes with meditation.  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) Institutionalized discrimination is bad for people and for societies. Widespread discrimination is also bad for economies. There is clear evidence that when societies enact laws that prevent productive people from fully participating in the workforce, economies suffer.  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) Social media has changed the world forever. We’re not going to go backwards. People are not going to accept being poor, accept being excluded anymore  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) I want to eradicate poverty. I think that theres a tremendous passion for that inside the World Bank  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) What happens when corn and wheat prices rise is that we see real increases in malnutrition and under-nutrition.

So this is not just a short-term impact  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better - because your job is to try to help everybody else get better  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) Why is it that when it comes to our most cherished social goal [health care], we not only tolerate poor execution, sometimes we even celebrate it  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) There will be water and food fights everywhere  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) We need to have a plan equal to the challenge  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) We will never end poverty if we don’t tackle climate change  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) One of the most important things about leadership is that you have to have the kind of humility that will allow you to be coached  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) Water and sanitation has not had the same kind of champion that global health, and even education, have had  (Jim Yong Kim Quotes) Ending poverty and ensuring sustainability are the defining challenges of our time.
