Firouz Naderi Shares Advice with the Next Generation: Not Everything Needs to be About You!!

On May 10, 2009, six accomplished Iranian Americans gathered at UCLA’s Royce Hall to share the trials and tribulations of their lives with the next generation. The event was the first of what we expect will be many such events called, “Passing the Torch of Success to the Next Generation of Leaders,” a forum aimed at inspiring Iranian American youth with lessons learned from the community leaders of today.

For those who were unable to attend this unprecedented event, and in an effort to share the experience and value of the program with all, PAAIA and IFL are periodically releasing videos capturing the presentations of each of the speakers.

Today we present the presentation entitled “Not Everything Needs to be About You” by Dr. Firouz Naderi, Associate Director, Project Formulation and Strategy at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The next Passing the Torch of Success event will be held in Orange County, California, on January 17, 2010.
