The Global Dream Team....and Early Arrivers!

Columnist Thomas L. Friedman just described in an op-ed piece in the New York Times an experience he had recently in meeting the students and teachers of the Intel Corporation's New Science Talent Search.  The top impressive young awardees were heavily international young people and recent immigrants with brilliant, clear new concepts, products, innovations, and the skillful persuasiveness to present them.  Friedman was struck by their global look and their teachers' attitudes of doing what was needed to bring out the clear talent and creative design skills of these young people.

Early arrivers in the blueflash?  Maybe.  Some may just go on to other brilliant products.  Some may stick with their original concept, and take it all the way to clear life vision companies or products.  But the distinguishing thing that caught Friedman, award winning journalist, was their youth, clear vision, and global qualities here in America.

That is why CIBU in recent years has placed such emphasis on exposing global students who come to America and San Diego to entrepreneurship, creative design skills, and global teamwork.  These ARE the quintessential things that are what we need to strive for...they are part of our everyday world.  an idea conceived in San Diego by a student from France, who teams with a Taiwanese to manufacture in Vietnam or China....and alas, we have a company....with a market, a downstream set of good income and outcomes...

Arrivers are those who find clear life vision and go about making it happen.  Early, middle or late, it is grabbing the gusto and essence of life and making a contribution!
