Paul Winberg from Hot Spring, AR:

Thanks for all the info. When Dung first told me of this, I thought it was a great idea. I feel one of the problems facing the younger Americans is a lack of perspective regarding just how lucky/wealthy/privileged we are. I related that my Dad was an immigrant from Sweden at age 7. Landing in NYC, he had a rough time with the kids from other national groups but went on to great personal success with only an 8th grade education. We didn’t often speak about life issues, but I recall clearly the time he said to me “ I only wish I could have given you what I had as a child – to be born poor”. Jan 15,2020

Dung Duong (Advisor) – Austin, TX

As a child, Dung Duong fled a third-world country, lived in refugee camps, was jailed, and found himself homeless before immigrating to the United States, ultimately growing up in poverty. A strong student and gifted engineer, Dung eventually found success as an entrepreneur and investor. In telling his full story, Dung doesn’t dwell on what he lacked in his youth. Instead, he focuses on what he did have: intrinsic motivation, a strong will, and the desire to positively impact the world. Perhaps, like Dung, you also have a desire to make the world a better place

Dung also is the author of Shifting Optics Book: In Shifting Optics, Dung shares his stories and honest recollections so that you can take them from the perspective if you wish. Told with a wink and a smile, he offers up his life’s story to show there is always a light in the darkness, there’s always a tomorrow, and there’s always a way to move forward and improve the world in our own unique way.
