And so language， the ability not only to master the ability to put your ideas into words 22）succinctly on a 23）platform to communicate ideas to your own people， it is even more impressive when you have the capacity to do that and communicate your ideas， especially as future business and political and 24）moral leaders in the world in the language of the people to whom you’re speaking.
So I think there is no greater resource that a nation could seek than having a group of people who were able to communicate in the same idiom， the same dialect， the same…the same pattern as the people to whom with they’re speaking. Because this is all about…all about understanding one another.
Let me conclude by saying this. My father was a high school-educated man. He never went to a university and…and nor did my mother or anyone in my family at that time. But my father was an elegant， 25）decent man…26）eloquent and elegant， decent man. My father used to have an expression that maybe is the best way for me to conclude my comments with you all， and I wish I could stay later…longer， sincerely wish I could. He used to say， “Joe， the only conflict that is worse than one that is intended is one that is unintended.” The only conflict worse than one that is intended is one that is unintended.
Language， speech， interchange， openness， communication—that is the material that can be used to lessen the possibility of the unintended， the unintended conflict. I have great faith in all of you. I mean this sincerely. You’re an incredible country， an incredible people. And the fact there’s a hundred thousand students here at this great university， the fact that there are millions of Chinese at universities throughout…throughout this country； the fact there’s 130，000 Chinese nationals speaking…citizens， going to American universities is the stuff which gives me faith.
