Don't Leave Home Without It

Quintin E. Primo III, co-founder and C.E.O. of Capri Capital Partners (a real estate investment and development firm in Chicago), has a simple message for young people - - "Three words, leave the country and get out of here. I don't care where you go, just go." Quintin writes the following:

Because the world is changing, it is no longer acceptable to speak only English if you are 25 and younger. You have little chance of being successful if you speak only one language. So you're got to get out of your safety zone. You will have a much broader understanding of the world's cultures, and you will have a much clearer idea of how the world perceives our culture. There is nothing more important. I don't care where you went to business school. I don't care whether your grades were good or bad. You have to leave the country.
