If the world is made up of numbers according to a Greek philosopher, it does mean that if you cannot measure anything, you are wasting your time on it. Your business is numbers, and you must measure it in order to make progress.
From the Great Library of Alexandria to the The House of Wisdom (Grand Library of Baghdad), the ancient world was ruled by those who could make sense of numbers. The Great Al-Khwarizmi, the Father of Algebra, and the man whose name is “algorithm”, preached the message of numbers. As the director of the House of Wisdom, he pioneered algebra and went to Mecca to shape commerce. He told men that unless you could make sense of numbers, you cannot be a good merchant! He solved puzzles on the streets of Mecca, but those puzzles were business numbers – cost, profit, etc.
