"You wrote a book about life lessons you'd like to pass on to your kids. What would you tell young Americans today?"

Kopin Tan:

You've got to learn a foreign language. At least one! This is not 1953. America's relative position in the world will continue to decline, and Americans must know about and engage the rest of the world. If I can do just one thing, I would shake up the American education system and make Americans learn more about the world. We have the largest debt in the world. The days when we can get away with not caring about the world are coming to an end.
