    Recently “having a balanced life-style” is really popular. If you want both satisfied and a healthy life, then let me give you the most prominent tip: Balance is the key for both physical and mental health. By the time you reach a healthy mindset, you are going to be not only fit but also delighted. The World is in a new era. People are not dieting anymore. They all try to change their eating habits for the rest of their lives. They figured out something perfect: Healthy food is delicious, and it can be prepared in a fun way. Eating one hundred percent clean is of course impossible. Even if it is possible, your “mental” health will not be as healthy as your “physical” health. Therefore, you can (should) enjoy some “fun and enjoyable” food as well. I call them as “fun” food as it is a must for mental health. Consuming that food is really important,   if you want to be motivated to eat healthy and happy throughout the day (on social media, people call this “stayin...

  February 20, 2022 Dear Diary, I really can’t believe it! Finally! I can feel that you have been curious about what I am going to write, right my trustworthy friend? Finally, I have been invited to the universities in Europe to present my books. As I have written many books on different topics in such a little age, everyone wants to know what I have written. Actually, I believe that they cannot imagine a high school student might be able to write nice, hearth-touching, philosophical and self-development books. Therefore, they want me to visit many places in different countries at Europe and to introduce both myself and my books. Anyways, I think, I should tell you everything from at the beginning… You may have remembered that I have told you two months ago… I have been invited to a well-known university in Turkey. First of all, I have given a speech about myself. I told about my writing adventure and what my books about. I had written a self-development book for students a...

    What is considered as arts? Music? Painting? Dancing? I strongly believe that art is not just about music, painting and dancing at all! One may think that “How this is possible?”. Actually, it is possible… In order to figure out what can be considered as arts, first of all we should analyse the meaning of arts. The definition of arts is being questioned for thousands of years, and it is still being questioning. Is arts a picture of the nature? A melody of winds? Or a choreography of the swans just like in the Swan Lake? While making such a hard definition on a subjective topic, we should think out of the picture… Taking a picture of a food that you love very much is also arts. Going for a run and while running listening to some music is arts as well. Reading a novel, writing an article, composing a melody, cooking a delicious meal…   Even studying passionately or watching your favourite program on the television can be considered as arts. Yes! You have not hea...

    Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Do you believe in unconditional and real love? Can you imagine a courting just like in romantic comedy movies? Can you think about an unheard-of commitment among the lovers? Unfortunately, most of the people do not believe in any kind of love, especially which is seen in the romantic comedy movies. Although accessing such a pure love is really hard, it is definitely not unbelievable. Therefore, today I am here to talk about how a “childhood sweetheart” can convert into a lovely spouse… I would like to start with the definition of “unconditional, real and pure love”. What comes to your mind when you think about “unconditional love”? How can be “pure love” created between two adorable lovers? In my opinion, the first condition should be equality among the spouses. There is a serious global problem, which is “gender differences and inequality” in each and every part of the world. Let’s do not deny it. The inequality and injustice in gender...

  Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Do you really believe that social media is the worst invention, especially for children and students? Do you really believe that social media isolates people from each other? Do you really believe that social media cannot be useful? I don’t think so. Social media is not our enemy! By the time we start to use these platforms responsibly, we will be all appreciated by our families and teachers. You have not heard me wrong! They “will” absolutely thank us for our social media usage. I know that this will happen someday. The only point is catching some tips. Never forget that “we”, as a team, will overcome this “little and silly” challenge. Some group of people -who are technically our real enemies- claim that social media causes sleep deprivation, social isolation and decrease in students’ academic performance. Those people claim that students are spending too much time on social media. Our actual enemies also claim that students do not use the s...

  For thousands of years, most people have been searching for an answer to the question "who am I?" However, there is no clear answer to this question. Could there be a reason why we could not find an answer to this interesting question? Don’t we know ourselves and inner thought well? Maybe, we just change and develop before answering that amazing question… In my opinion, the moment we ask ourselves the question "who am I", we get to know our inner world better. While we think -even for a few seconds- our perspective changes and we improve. Therefore, the person who asked the question and the person who tries to find an answer are not exactly the same. Actually, they are totally different from each other. What I meant by calling them “different people”: the individual’s mindset, perspective and attitude toward life have all changed. To explain this issue better, we can have a look at what "existence" is. If the notion “existence” means “the sum of ev...
