Challenges






  Life is tough sometimes. Actually it is tough for most of times but usually we can tolerate it. But in these days it is really difficult to tolerate it for me. It is not because i am having such hard days. It's because i am taking small problems in my life and converting into such big problems. I have no idea why am i acting like this. I am not crazy or sociopath. I guess i am a normal person like everyone. But last days, even a little problem could be enough to drug me desperate mood.

  A few weeks ago i had a very long conversation with one of my neigbour. We were talking from this and that. And the main subject was really far away from my desperate mood. And she just started to talk her mother’s behaviour. As she told, her mother always make her life very difficult. It is so hard to be happy in her life. She is always complaining about problems and finally she is not happy at all. And she also have a lot of problems with her daughter,which is my neighbour. And in the middle of one of their fruious discussion, my neigbour told her mother, "mum,tell me only one moment that you became happy in your life." And her mother started to thinking and struggling to find one. And what her daughter said is, i have not any moment that i did not become happy in my whole life.
  That's because her daughter has not an awesome life. She got divorced. She has a little kid and kid has also some problems and she is trying to grow this kid all alone. Of course her life is harder than most of people. But what she said is, i don't have perfect life. I don't have the best opportunities. But when i live my life, i always think, what i got now? Hmm, i got this, this and that. So i will make my life better by using what i got. And i will not make me sad what i don't get.
  For example if i make myself upset about my bad marriage, what is gonna be like rest of my life? And you know what people, she is happier than me. Maybe when i reach her age –cause she is about 30- i will have more opportunities and have better life, i dont know, maybe. But even this, she is happier than me. Because she just learned how to handle challenges of life and how to convert it to happiness. Her happiness is not because she is happy all the time. Her happiness is because she is enjoying with the moment. She is not upset about what she lived in the past. Or she is not upset because which facilities she don't have. And that's why, whenever i see her, i am feeling better. She is like a smiling and positive energy machine that gives happines to everyone.

 So, back to the story. When she talks about her mum, i saw myself in the story. I am such an unhappy person. And sometimes, it can be very difficult to find a good aspect about my life. But when i read my very old blog writings -like one year ago- i am seeing myself very happy, hopeful and positive. So i wasn't be like this forever. Somehow, i became an unhappy person. And in these days, i am forcing myself to think, why did i change? What happened in my life and, i became this much unhappy.
 But as you guess, i couldn't reach any results. So i just left to think why this happened. Now i need to think how can i become happy again. How can i gain the joy of my life? I need to think on this subject but as you guess again, this is not an easy work. I am thinking and making a life decision; from now forever, i will be very optimistic about events and circumstances. But it is not just working anyway. But i need to gain this positive thinking before i graduate cause the coming life will be really hard to handle. So i just should to do something right now.  
 You may wonder dear reader, if you did not reach a solution, why are you writing here? Here is the answer. When i wrote down,  on my blog, some solutions is coming to my mind one by one. This place is like a instructor for me.
Actually i just remembered something. I guess this is some words from one of the videos that i watched a few weeks ago. It says; everbody has different challenges and opportunities. So everybody should try to do something on their creation.


This is totally true. Maybe my challenges is somebody else’s oppourtinties. Who knows? I just got used to complain about everything but this is not a true way to follow. Yeah, all of us have some tough times in our lifes. But this means is not we will ruin our life just because of some challenges. Challenges are in everywhere. Why am i ruining my life because of some difficulties? When i wrote down, i just realise how stupid i am.   
Sometimes i miss my childhood. The days that you don't even know the meaning the deep thinking. Cause you didn't live a difficulty, why would you need think deeply? But now i know for sure, there is no way to go back to childhood. I wish there was, but unfortunately there was not. So if it is not possible to back to your infancy days, you have to handle your problems.
 You got opportunities and challenges. Maybe there are better than the others, maybe not, we don't know. But you have to live your life with what you got. And also you need to try to be happy what you lived. If you will not be happy what you lived, then why are you living this life? You need to be happy with both your good and bad decisions. You need to be glad and thankful, what you had and what you don't have. Cause this is how life works. You don't know if it will be better that you have more opportunities. We don't know.
 So complainig is useless. If you couldn't know the end of the road, you have no rigth to decide what is better for you. If you decide, maybe this will be wrong and that's why we have limited minds. So maybe the solution is not be upset about what you got, even if they were bad things. Maybe the solution is, to be grateful for everything, try to do your best, and be happy what your lived.

  1. Hi! I believe that the biggest problem about your unsatisfied feelings is perception of happiness. In my oppinion finding true happiness and living happily ever after is not possible because happiness is something very transient and ungrateful which is not worth to live for. In fact i believe the main goal for a person to reach should be peace not happiness. Peace is the comfortable feeling that comes when you do things you should do.It isn't like happiness it isn't for a momentous relaxation and maybe most importantly it isn't for fleshy desires.Peace is about doing right thing for your soul not body.Happiness bring bodily pleasure but peace is deep comfort of your soul.

    1. Hello. Actually you have a point about my perception of happiness. I am kinda obsessed about happines and i am seeing like it the purpose of the life, which is totaly wrong. And i have never thougth about "peace." I guess all i need is, do what should i do for my soul and try to be peaceful. And when my soul feel better, my body will feel better anyway.
      Thanks for your comment. Have a nice day!

YLSY Sürecim

Üniversite üçüncü sınıf. Aziz hoca bir dersimizde “Türkiye'de akademisyen olabilmenin yolları”nı anlatıyor. O zaman bunun için 3 yol var: ÖYP, cari alımlar ve MEB bursu. O gün MEB bursunu duyunca çok heyecanlandığımı hatırlıyorum. Anneme anlatıyorum hemen, 6 sene çok fazla diyor; babam, Türkiye'de bir iş sahibi olmamı söylüyor. Benim için hiç kolay bir ikna süreci olmuyor. Kendimi ifade etme çabalarım hala gözümün önünden gitmiyor.  Bir sene sonra ÖYP kaldırılıyor. Yıkılıyorum. Sonra mezun oluyorum. Sonra 2016 yılında ilk kez YLSY tercih kılavuzu yayınlanıyor. İçinde özel hukuk yok. Benim hukuku sevme nedenim olan özel hukuk yok. Başvurmuyorum. Ama gerçekten çok üzülüyorum. Aradan birkaç ay geçiyor. Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi'ne yüksek lisansa kabul ediliyorum. Ve YLSY'yi tamamen unutuyorum. Çok güzel bir yüksek lisans dönemi... Hocalarımı çok seviyorum. Okulumu çok seviyorum. Beni gerçekten tatmin ediyor. Sonra staj başlatıyorum. Yüksek lisans ve stajı aynı...

Yeni Mezun Bir Hukukçuyu Neler Bekliyor- Part 1

Merhaba, İlk olarak çok uzun zamandır yazı yazmadığımı belirtmeliyim. En son yazıyı kasımda yazmışım. Kasımdan bu yana geçen 8 ay boyunca çeşitli yoğunluklarım olduğundan ve bir süre sonra da araya zaman girdiği için bloga yazmak zorlaştığından ötürü yazı yazamadım. Fakat bir arkadaşımın yeni mezun bir hukukuçuya neler tavsiye edebileceğimi anlatan bir yazı kaleme almamı ricası üzerine kendimi bilgisayarın başında buldum. Umarım bu yazıyla blogun tozunu kaldırmış olurum. Öncelikle internetteki herhangi bir yerden copy-paste yapmayacağımı söylemeliyim. Bu yazdıklarım tamamen benim büyüklerimden öğrendiğim ve yaşayarak tecrübe ettiğim şeyler. Ben halihazırda avukatlık stajımın sonuna geldim ve yüksek lisansta da tez aşamasına gelmiş bulunuyorum. Kendimden yola çıkarak da anlatacağım bazı şeyleri. Keyifli okumalar. TATİL Bu yeni mezun olmuş herkese verebileceğim ilk ve en büyük tavsiyedir. Ben mezun olur olmaz, geçiçi diplomalarımız çıkınca koşa koşa baroda staj başvur...

I TOLD MY STORY!

If you ask me what’s the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life, I’d say, “Which one? I’ve done so many cool things!” But if you said, “Come on, be serious now,” I’d tell you: the day I told my story. That was the day I felt the bravest, coolest, and most inspired. It all started when one of my close friends invited me to the  TOUCH Network storytelling event. I was like, “Cool, let’s go.” I didn’t have any expectations, good or bad, except that I knew we’d see some farm animals since the event was taking place on a farm. So we went. It was a storytelling event, as advertised, but not just random storytelling. Four people talked about struggles they had overcome in life, how they did it, and what we could take from it. It was basically like TED Talks, but with fewer spotlights and more human touch. If you know me, you know I’m all about human connection, deep conversations, and touchy subjects. So I was so happy when I realized what was going on. I had the most beautiful tw...
