Panel Discussion at FIE

This past morning (of day seven) we met back at the FIE building for
an exciting panel discussion with CEOs, Chairmen, and Advisory
Councils. Topics included: Doing Business with the Middle East, The
Qur'anic View towards Life, The Business Markets of Jordan, and...
Western Views of Business in the Middle East.

Some snipets... "the Middle East is the richest region in NPV - Net
Present Value" ... "In order to go fast, you need to slow down" ...
"You cannot separate life from business" ... "We need to change our
attitudes & perspectives about the Middle East... there is more to
this region than sand and oil"

Fun Fact: The Jordanian gov't is currently involved in a Red Sea-Dead
Sea project (along with the surrounding countries) to help preserve
this historical, natural beauty. The water level is dangerously low.
