I am in San Francisco at one of the most successful incubator places called “SOMAcentral”. Business incubators are offices where ideas are nurtured and companies are born. Young people rent office space and work on new ideas and inventions in a creative environment to realize their dreams.

Incubators provide all kinds of services. Besides office spaces, they provide management consulting, legal and accounting services etc., the list can go on and on. But what fascinated me most is the variety of the new ventures. Solutions, products, ideas for all kind of services in our daily life as well as for the enterprise, made in U.S.A. And all are done by using social media and the Internet as a backbone.

When I walk through the aisles at SOMAcentral, I hear English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, French, German, Russian, etc. This is a global community based in San Francisco, with strong cultural links to the global market. I see diversity, I see out-of-the box ideas and I see bright young people working on their dreams in a great environment.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, to have a dream is a positive attribute.

Between the quick lines ! https://gelis.org/en/2013/06/20/between-the-quick-lines/ https://gelis.org/en/2013/06/20/between-the-quick-lines/#respond Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:44:36 +0000 https://gelis.org/?p=654 As the original texts are written in Turkish, English translation is provided for non-Turkish readers.

Never before in the history of humans, did the common man document and publish his thoughts and opinions as much as is done today.

We are living in a time where posting aphorisms and sharing them with the world via Internet and social media, is no longer a privilege amongst a small group. We are able to quickly express our thoughts; the emphasis being quick sharing, between all the other tasks and actions that occur in our daily lives.

In one hundred years, we will have a vast amount of thoughts coming from all levels of the society which will better enable us to analyze a period of our history.

For this reason, between the quick lines, we should not neglect the quality of messages being sent and passed on to the next generation.
