V for valley

Silicon Valley that is.

Palo Alto. The hype, the anticipation and burst.

Dream and dread.

It’s here for the taking. You game?

Pine trees and even banana trees.

Years ago, one would see Vietnamese technicians and Indian engineers.

Now, the work is mostly outsourced and off shored.

The design and creative work are still here. But it takes fewer people (Google, for its revenue, would have required nth time current headcount had it been a 20-th century company).

Still, there is something about V.

Peace sign. Victor. And even venture funding.

As long as you don’t lose that entrepreneurial spirit.

Can-do attitude.

Work is now anywhere and anytime.

Are you gamed?

You can do it here or you can do it elsewhere.

But something about the Valley.

Its ethos, egos and yes, eco-conciousness.

A bunch of old classmates are attending a funeral today.

Cremation.

Dust comes to dust.

But the spirit lives on.

In the valley and on the hill.

That spirit that says, Yes we can.

The shoreline is not the limit. Neither is the sky.

Take it to the next level, next shore line and skyline.

Start here in the valley then move up the mountain top.

If you don’t stand in opportunity’s way. If you don’t sabotage yourself.

No one can stop a man or woman whose mind is made up.
