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.
