“But I want you to think about a new view of the world. Because China is really the middle kingdom. If you look at the characters of China, it really has two characters. The first one means center. The second one means kingdom. China means the middle kingdom; the center of the world. And let me tell you, sadly. You are a part of the last non-designed generation. All of you are here by mistake. You were not designed. In the future, we will be designed.” ~ José Luis Cordeiro
