Abstract

As a young man, I dreamed about America. My eyes followed the American jets. I learned from American books. I admired American scientists. My eyes looked longingly to the West. Would I ever find my way into the hallowed institutions of American education and science? What happened far exceeded my greatest expectations. America became my gateway to the top of the academic world. Years of research, teaching, and networking at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and the Harvard Business School opened up another new world for me. I met all the famous thought leaders in my field.
