In a New Year; With New Hopes...


Deal All,
We go on our quality journey in a new year; to find the better and the happier. I write this blog for the first time from our new home-office which is located at Sarıyer_far from the noise of the traffic and the polluted and fused air of Istanbul. Here, it will be easier to focus on my new books and projects.
When I look out from my window I can see the christmas-tree like trees on the hills, and the accumulated snow clouds in the sky. I would like to repeat my answer to those who are used to asking; "Why are you going to a house which is so far from the central part of Istanbul?". "May the feelings be closer to each other, but I will work here more fruitfully and peacefully." I will focus on my research and projects from then on. I neglected them all. Another purpose of mine is recovering my health and keeping fit. I will set aside time and energy for sport and for more family members, including my sick mum and me-personally. My focal project points will be; "11th International Convention on Students' Quality Control Circles which will take place in December 2008 in Istanbul, ICT Seagulls Projects, and 2010 İstanbul European Cultural Capital City Project; Bigg-İst. I can hear your voice asking; "Are these projects only few? :). What can I do? This is my style...
The door of my home-office is open to all friends and colleagues. You can come here breathing the fresh air of Bosphorus, and watching the beauties of the nature. We are always ready to share our experiences and projects with you. Furthermore; having a contact office at a central part of Istanbul is in our agenda, but for spring months. At the moment, I should take care of my mum and for my family, including me. All my contact channels are open-even to the late hours of the day. Please do not hesistate to call me.
