"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground." - Douglas Adams
This is my image representation of the above quote by Douglas Adams. I interpreted the word "fly" as success and the word "ground" as fail. So to me, the phrase means that if you wish to succeed, you mustn't fail. In life, many associate success with careers. And the base of all careers require knowledge. Acquiring that knowledge means taking one step at a time, and just "missing the ground" with each try. Knowledge is power and with this power, the chances of failure are reduced significantly giving us the ability to "fly" in one way or another.

Didem Karpuzcu
Powering her way to management
Working with tree-falling power tools wasn’t what Didem Karpuzcu had in mind when she enrolled in the Portland MBA program at PSU.
“In Turkey, where I grew up, most people don’t have that kind of toolbox,” says Karpuzcu, who admits she had never even seen a chainsaw until moving to Oregon. Now, as Global Product Manager at Blount International, it’s her job to develop the next generation of power tool accessories for forestry, agriculture and gardening.
A management job at one of Oregon’s top manufacturing companies represents a rapid rise for Karpuzcu who only began exploring graduate programs a little more than two years ago. East Coast schools recruited her, but she chose Portland State for its dedication to diversity and conscientious approach to business.
“I am a competitive person, but I knew I would not be happy in an aggressive MBA program,” Karpuzcu says. “Portland state values community. It’s not just about getting ahead of others.”
For Karpuzcu, it’s always about the challenge, about navigating new terrain, about personal as well as professional growth. The Portland MBA fit the bill: a new city, a chance to meet people from all backgrounds.
Among her MBA cohort, she worked with students ranging in age from their late 20s to their 60s, including seven or eight nationalities. She took advantage of the opportunity to sharpen her collaboration and negotiation skills while fostering connections in the local business community.
“In the MBA program, you don’t just learn from the curriculum,” she says. “It’s just as much about gaining insight from your peers and from professors with industry experience.”
That experience paid off when she applied for the opening at Blount. The position meant moving into an unfamiliar industry and culture with all the responsibilities that come with upper-level management. And that’s just what she was looking for.
“I could have just stayed at home and not challenge myself in this way,” she says, “but I think it pays off. It gives you perspective and allows you to grow.”
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.
