I am from South Africa and I am so happy to watch this video.. The struggle in our country we tend to blame the past too much for lack of our success, yes obviously "partly" systems were created to hinder the success of the people in this beautiful country. But, I believe if our young people can rise in their state of mind and begin to change things for themselves this country and the whole continent can be a better place to live in. I know it starts with me. Thank you Silicon Valley.

"Silicon Valley is a State of Mind" - Powerful motivating words there

[@jcor4996]

I wrote this and sent part of it to Victor at Kaufman. I saw your comment on KZbin here, so I'm sharing with you because you seem to be inspired by the same message and I'm hoping to connect with people like you. My message: Hey Victor!!! I heard you say something about Silicon Valley. being a" state of mind" and how can we recreate in other places. Like they say in poker, "Go BIG or go home" Do you agree with Peter Diamandis? (Abundance) I am an athlete and love things that are fast, so I guess I'm always wondering how to help "accelerate" abundance for everyone. I live in NY and saw you on some KZbin video about Silicon Valley. I guess I'm interested maybe in moving to Silicon Valley? and I think I'm interested to see how we (everyone) can build the fastest growing company ever? I don't know, it just sounded like something fun to do and the Bigger we think, the Faster we act, the More we can help, right? So, I guess I just thought it was a good idea to drop you a line and see what you think and whether you know anyone interested in helping. I just see business as a fun way to help people. It's just like a big game that we get to play together with friends and help others. So, let me know. I love things that go fast, Justin

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

Victor Hwang was by far the most correct and motivating interview in this film. The beauty of the place itself and near perfect weather inspires those who come here to make their dreams a reality, but in reality, Silicon Valley is a state of mind more than a geographic place. The weather, nature/natural beauty, and location are just conducive to that. The natural environment and weather foster that "can do" spirit. This video didn't show the real Silicon Valley at all though (geographic place). In that valley, assuming there is no kind of major recession, 100,000+ jobs will be created in the next few years as Samsung, Apple, Google, and others expand.

[@jcor4996]

Yeah, I really liked what Victor said. I tried writing to him. Whoever posted this comment seems like you and I are like minded, so I'll share my thoughts with you too. I couldn't send this entire message to Victor due to character limitations on Kaufman web form, so this was the whole thing I wrote... Hey Victor!!! I heard you say something about Silicon Valley. being a" state of mind" and how can we recreate in other places. Like they say in poker, "Go BIG or go home" Do you agree with Peter Diamandis? (Abundance) I am an athlete and love things that are fast, so I guess I'm always wondering how to help "accelerate" abundance for everyone.

They forgot to say you CAN'T fly to Silicon Valley and work / create your startup, because it's nearly impossible to get a visa for that. Also crazy rent in the Bay Area (due to high salaries from these Silicon Valley companies).

[@VitruvianVision]

True- but there is ALWAYS a loophole.

[@miiiikku]

If you think its so great why don't you just keep this information to yourself and then show what a success you have become.

[@Exascale]

Talk about some cancer. My god I have lived in SF for over 10 years and the retarded companies that make it into YC and get funded are ridiculous. These investors are some serious retards and the companies getting funded are bullshitting harder than people bullshit on their linkedn accounts. Everybody wants to be a king but very few will get to be kings. Most people just want to raise 5 million and get their 100k job for 5 years and run their feifdom. Its really going to be so funny when this startup bubble collapses and you see about 1 million software engineers that cant get jobs. It will be a good time to buy in SF and MTV. Another thing they dont tell you is that unless you graduated from stanford you cant get funding from investors. Its almost impossible to get any funding if you dont come from stanford. Its unreal the nonsense startups that get funding literally because their founders graduated from stanford. Such cancer.

Awesome. Not just a place, 'but '"a state of mind'. It's comes from the inside and its for the crazy ones. I love that. Very inspiring.

This video talks about San Francisco as if it were the center of Silicon Valley. In reality, most Silicon Valley companies are in Santa Clara County 50 miles south. It would be more appropriate talking about Palo Alto in the north all the way down to San Jose.

Awesome video. I recently moved back to San Francisco after failing financially and being forced to move away. I went and lived with my mom for the first time in 10 years. It was tough. 3 months later I took courage and a job interview. I brought my last $1000. After many obstacles I have successfully implanted myself here again. I feel like I can teach other people how to do what I have done TWICE now. Regardless of obstacles. I don't even have a college degree! Silicon Valley is definitely a mindset.

[@dewainet543]

Update. Yes I'm in sales, was working for Gusto a fintech startup. Unfortunately, with recent policies, price increases, etc I left with my wife and newborn across the country to Virginia Beach, VA. Haven't looked back. Making over 6 figures and my wife gets to stay at home with my son. SF is officially fir the rich, the bay area has no middle class anymore. Crime is up, and the poorer locals have been pushed out. Great place to visit, terrible place to live and raise a family unless you have dual income over 200k a year. That being said, my confidence to move came from my success and willingness to succeed in the bay. God bless 🙌 🙏

[@ej4555]

What you don't say is that, you don't find the average homeless in every corner of Silicon Valley. By average, i mean, smoking crack or asking money to go buy crack. You find guys with great minds and ideas but that were unable to succeed, so they sleep there hoping to get a chance.

The thing these guys forgot it that most of the start-ups aren't in San Francisco, but in the actual "Silicon Valley" aka Santa Clara County and a bit of San Mateo and Alameda counties. Santa Clara county is where the real stuff is like Apple, Google, Meta, Nvidia, Intel, formerly HP, Oracle, and Tesla and all the start-ups I forgot. Nowadays it is only a specific region of the already small San Francisco that hosts Twitter, Uber, Lyft etc. While that counts as Silicon Valley now, before it was the actual "valley" of Santa Clara county.

I love the idea of Silicon Valley, and it's impact is invaluable. But at some point, a niche area, a niche idea, a niche attitude becomes hip, and once it becomes hip, it loses the very element that makes it great. In other words, the guy in the video who points out that he is eating a TV dinner at 7pm while at work is self aware, and that fact that he is intellectually investing in fulfilling the silicon valley stereotype reveals that his passion is a bit of a facade. Maybe not, but it seems like his goal is to appear like Steve, but not be Steve....

Success isn't based only to your education and work experience, it's also wired to your emotional state and internal motivation.

Between 2016 and 2018 I watched this video about a 10+ time in South Africa in my first job i absolutely ended up hating, and was eager to leave. I'm typing this from a tiny room in San Francisco :).

[@kennethr.barton9897]

This is kind of insulting and misleading. They mostly just show San Francisco, even while they mention Palo Alto they're showing San Francisco. Then some guy intimates that homeless people must be crazy. Silicon Valley is an actual Valley (Santa Clara Valley) and it is 30 miles South of San Francisco. The "heart of Silicon Valley" is almost certainly Palo Alto and Mountain View. The other cities include Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and San Jose which is a bigger city than San Francisco by the way. Basically I hear "Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley" and see "San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco."

[@MorHub]

Also Nairobi in Kenya dubbed "Silicon Savannah" i'm also inspired that here in "Silicon Savannah" It is not a place at all, it is a state of mind.

[@SIMKINETICS]

I've gotta laugh! For public consumption, San Francisco is always featured in stories about Silicon Valley! The truth is that the epicenter of Silicon Valley is two counties south of SF in the South Bay around San Jose (which is bigger than SF). San Francisco is definitely more glamorous, but most of the real cool technology is at least 30 miles south.

[@ympact-globalstartupsentre4437]

SIMKINETICS Yeah, true! And you we look at Stanford, the HP Garage, Apple HQ, Google HQ and so one all of them are in Silicon Valley where it all started from. However recently many companies started basing their HQs in SF, think of SalesForce, Uber, Airbnb, so we wanted to report part of it in our video :)

[@aaronsalafia660]

SIMKINETICS Well done man.

[@stevegonzales460]

+SIMKINETICS thank you what a fool who made this video ,San Jose is silicon valley

[@sucyshi]

+SIMKINETICS The reason, in my opinion, is because it's where all of the tech is put into practice, with the city as the first market for many forms of new tech. Also, we do have our fair share of the Bay area tech, so it's not like we don't have any claim.

[@omargonzales3]

couldn't agree more, san josé is major part off silicon valley now. especially with the new apple HQ campus in cupertino.
