Every morning when I’m reading the business pages of the New York Times, my eyes long for a few things to read about a Turkish company. When I’m scanning the news about countries like China, India, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as European countries, I feel sorry that I cannot often see success stories about Turkish companies on these pages.

From the title, do not think that I will give you the advice of a guru. My advice depends on my personal observations and experiences. I have advice for people who are interested in the proposition that creating a strong community is possible by increasing the number of successful Turkish businesses.

Close your eyes for thirty seconds. Imagine that you have gone to work in a country whose name you have only seen on a map. There are hundreds of laborers like you on the plane, and you haven’t got any idea of the country that you are traveling to.

East or west, no matter where you go in the world, chances are you will encounter Turks. Maybe on a calm island in the middle of an ocean, maybe at an ice cream parlor in Japan, during a cab ride in Israel, in a village in Manchuria or on a construction site in Saudi Arabia. I do not even want to include the European countries in these examples.
