I just want to read through a couple.
I think a lot of these highlights just give you an insight.
Again, the personality types that go into this very unique and mysterious trade.
When Mattioli is neither at home nor at his bank, he is apt to be at his publishing house, which is conveniently situated just a few doors away.
In fact, all three buildings, his publishing house, his bank, and his house are on the same block.
So days can go by, which he doesn't even need to cross the street.
I gather that his daily routine is as unorthodox as everything else about the man.
Again, they're embracing the fact that they're unorthodox.
He told me that he rarely gets to the bank in the morning before 11 a.m.
At one o'clock, he walks home for a quiet lunch with his wife.
And after that, he takes a siesta.
He then returns to his office at around five in the afternoon and stays until 10 or later.
Those hour in which the bank is empty, except for the night watchman, are the time to do some really constructive banking, he said enthusiastically.
He is fond of paradox and leads to the suspicion that he enjoys confusing people.
We bankers are fond of pretending that we know everything.
I always try to remember the advice of my father who told me that a man should never be afraid to admit that he doesn't understand something, particularly if he knows all about it.
That is a great line.
And we see this distaste for Yes Man again.
He does not tolerate any Yes Men around him.
And one of his managing directors confided to me that he always thinks twice before saying that he agrees with the boss because the consequences can be very unpleasant.
