"Ghazali's unique ability is humility. He is well decorated, has overcome extreme obstacles, and has a story worthy of a book or at the very least, one that should be told more often. But he is about the work, about progress, not about himself. I admire this because I have seen this line of work, at the UN, trap good people in ego and self-promotion"
