Be Guided by BEAUTY!

      When a person speaks of mathematics and poetry in the same sentence. I am interested -- and recently I came across an early-May financial article by Jason Ma which met that condition; its title and subtitle are:

Quant KingJim Simons (1938-2024) was a math and investing genius, but also a management wiz. Here are some of his lessons on leadership . . .

The article contains five "guiding principles" -- and I have grouped the words of the 3rd principle (which includes mathematics and poetry)  into the following syllable-count triangular poem:

       Be
       guided
       by beauty --
       true in doing
       mathematics or
       writing poetry, but
       also true in fashioning
       an organization that runs
       extremely well, accomplishes its 
       mission with excellence. Hope for good luck!

Here is a link to the full article by Ma.
