Speaking and Understanding
There is an accepted assumption in the communication literature that communication is "what the other person understands rather than what you speak". The important thing here is to draw attention to the effect of the speaker's feelings and thoughts at the end of his verbal and nonverbal expression. How we understand this effect, who we are communicating with or trying to influence, measures the effect of the feedback from that person on us.
It can also be said that "we have told what the other person understood," the important thing is what we are understood rather than what we say or do. The response of the other person to us reveals the dimension of communication.
In general, we think that the fault or misunderstanding is the problem of the other person rather than our own, by suggesting that we are not understood, the resistance of the people in front of us, their indifference and other things, and we tend to see ourselves as justified. We can give the following example for a clearer understanding based on the football analogy. Just as a player cannot blame his friend when he makes a wrong or incorrect pass, if we cannot convey our feelings and thoughts in the right way and in the right way, the problem lies with the athlete who made the wrong pass. An exception is if you make the right pass, but the other person pretends to receive the pass and does not cheat, then the other person is at fault; It can also be criticized for deliberate behavior.
Communication is an art and learning communication, its principles and rules like an instrument should be one of the main goals of every individual. In schools, families and/or different institutions, communication should be at the top of the basic courses because most of the human problems are caused by communication problems.
Communication cannot be made only with one party. Communication begins with the person himself. His life begins with his understanding of the event and facts and his creation. Then communication is made to influence, communicate, prevent violence and ultimately be happy. Communication with the aim of preventing violence is an important phenomenon because when people stop talking, it is inevitable that they will tend to violence.
The most fundamental phenomenon of communication is language and symbols. Especially the importance of mother tongue is more important than we think. The richness of the mother tongue is vital for an effective communication while thinking, expressing what we think and sharing our feelings.
It can be said that the heart of communication is to establish a connection. The person is with himself, with others, with life, nature, other living things; The bond he establishes with animate and inanimate things and phenomena is also necessary for the quality of life of the person. When the wrong connection with these things and elements is not at the desired level, the failure and unhappiness of the person will come to the surface.
Therefore, communication is an art. It is learned. In order to learn, it is necessary to understand the importance. Because it makes a seventy percent contribution to solving problems. Based on this, we wouldn't be exaggerating if we say, "The quality of our communication with ourselves, our environment and life determines our quality of life".
Finding good examples for communication, making kindness, respect and sincerity a way of life, paying attention to listening and understanding before speaking, being flexible and creative, and then gaining the habit of reading will be a very valuable approach.
With Which Eye Should You Look…
One of the important thought viruses of our age is the mistake of looking at everything economically or seeing everything. The basic point of view of economics is "the principle of achieving or gaining the most with the least." Earning the most by investing the least, winning by playing the most economically, earning the most income by spending the least, expecting to be loved without loving at all, having the highest knowledge by reading the least, trying to lose weight without doing sports, expecting to be fit by eating a lot, labor Unfortunately, the understanding of getting the most with the least in many events and phenomena, such as getting rich without giving, does not promise the desired happiness and salvation. A thinker says, "There is no shortcut to mastery", but the understanding of getting the least with the least, the most, that is, the understanding of living with shortcuts, unfortunately, does more harm to people and humanity than Covid.
The majority of them do not work as soon as possible; He wants to go to the end with half-baked knowledge and skills. That's why nothing tastes good. The fruits are ripe and ripe in appearance, but have no taste. The meat looks crimson, but the hormone is pumped into it. Sherbet is sold under the name of baklava. At twenty-five, young people act like adults who have swallowed the dust of life. He who has a few memorizations thinks he is a scholar. Those who can't help themselves try to guide people. When falsehood and falsehood take over and walk away, truth and truth cannot find a place for itself...
Maybe there were such things in ancient times, of course, but in this era, it seems like even more…. The understanding of concealing himself, acting outside of what he is, and "until he crosses the bridge" puts people in the act of getting the most with the least of everything, dipping them in intelligence sauce, and they don't know that "sharp vinegar is harmful to a cube", that's when people begin to realize that they made a mistake...
Patience, waiting, giving time, choosing the right thing, doing the right thing are considered as if they are not virtues, whereas people who choose the long, difficult and arduous path, focus on long-term gains instead of short-term gains, and can see the horizon and even beyond, are the ones who believe in real virtue and wisdom. it has; in the end they win and they really deserve to win...
In this period, which is accepted as the age of speed, relations wear out quickly, divorces increase, no one has any tolerance for anyone, they think it's weakness to undermine, they regard silence as cowardice and this game goes on...
Few people realize that and break this vicious circle, and when they turn to truth and righteousness, they begin to realize that some things are beyond economic consideration. The economy is undoubtedly important, but when one starts to look at everything from an economic point of view, the desire to turn a corner and buy more or less poisons people…
There are no shortcuts to success, mastery, happiness, love, virtue, truth and being human, and everything has its time, and then everything starts to go well when the necessary things are done. There is no point in straining, forcing or delaying things. Patience, waiting for his time should be given to the child in a way, starting from the family, so that humanity can create a happy society to which it belongs...
Life or Struggle, Struggle or Life?..
If we take a look at the most spoken words of the day, we would not exaggerate if we say that "fight" is sometimes used instead of "war" rather than words describing basic needs.
There is no living thing that is in motion, that is, not in motion. Every living organism in motion, be it plants, animals, or humans, is somehow programmed to progress towards the next level of evolution and self-realization. The phenomenon we call growth, change and development is the movement itself and is the common feature of living things. Without thinking about other living things other than humans; does it automatically. They reveal what is in their nature and act as their nature is. No animal desires to find food or consult other living things for reproduction. It does not take permission, does not question whether it is in the wrong or right choice.
Except for some basic things, he does some learning with education, but he behaves as his nature is and we do not have mastery in some basic behaviors. Still, the creatures called animals are in a struggle with the environment and living conditions to eat, drink and survive. You see birds in the morning in an early foraging behavior. There is no bird that is lazy or whining. Still, the struggle for survival is common in all behaviors, from bird to lion.
Unlike plants and animals, humans do not like struggle because of their ability to use their minds and think. He likes comfort. He wants everything to be done for him. He wants to carry some selfish behaviors he learned during his childhood, resists growing up, wants to get the most benefit with the least effort, likes to take a nap. While some animals say hello to life as soon as they are born and start walking and running, human beings need a long time to reach a certain level; He goes to school for years, gets an education, but still falls behind in many ways and can't do some things.
Not all people are like this, but no matter how hardworking one is, they still fall into the comfort trap in some situations. May be reluctant to relearn for continuity. That's why, although fighting is one of the most important life skills to learn, it is often forgotten.
The proposition that "man, in other words, is an irrational being", is actually a phenomenon that should be well understood. Because, no matter how smart, hardworking or in a position a person is, he can sometimes engage in wrong behavior that he cannot approve of. You know, a doctor who gives advice and authority about not smoking and not smoking can also be a addict himself.
Let's get to the essence of the word. Because of these features that are unique to human nature, he must learn to struggle at every level in order to struggle, to take responsibility for one's own behavior, to realize his goals and objectives, and to improve his problem-solving abilities, and he must be in this behavior until the end of his life. Because constantly changing conditions and problems can come to a standstill that cannot be solved with old knowledge and skills. What we know doesn't work. Today's laundry cannot be dried with yesterday's sun. What worked yesterday won't work today or in the future etc.
In the words of one thinker, “there are no hopeless situations, only hopeless people.” Whatever the circumstances, we must strive to hope, to renew hope, to carry the ability to struggle to solve problems further and to adapt it according to the conditions of the day.
If we say that life is not a struggle, but the struggle itself is life, we would be telling the truth anyway... I greet you with love and affection...
You are not like that!..
The young man wakes up in the morning very angry, when he is told to calm down, he says "what should I do, I'm like this". An adult says he's very touchy, taken from the smallest thing. When asked why you don't tell your feelings, he says, "What should I do, I'm like this". Yet another person says that your right has been defeated and he is enraged with anger, and when he is asked "why don't you seek your rights", he says "what can I do, I can't offend anyone"...
Almost everyone has experienced and witnessed these events at home, at work, and around them. In many areas, we may have experienced or are experiencing this, but the truth is that “we are not actually like that and we choose to be that way…”.
The phenomenon called temperament, disposition or temperament – cold-bloodedness, introversion, is the biological characteristics of the genetic structure of the human being transferred to him, which is accepted as unchangeable and constitutes the essence of that person. That's why it was said when it was said that "can't get hurt". The phenomenon called personality is a phenomenon that is constantly changing and developing as a result of temperament, body, social environment, which child one is, abilities and tendencies. Even the so-called character and moral dimension of personality; Even traits such as industriousness, honesty, reliability, perseverance, benevolence, etc. are patterns of behavior that we acquire later. After a while, it forms the moral inclinations of the person and even surpasses his personality. So morality is often paired with one's attitudes.
Our main purpose is not to give lessons from short information, but people's perception of themselves as a victim and thinking "I am like this, I cannot change" and trying to make everyone accept this is a kind of thought virus and is even more dangerous than the Covid virus. There is a cure for the Covid virus, but it is not possible to replace such deep-rooted beliefs with drugs. Sometimes the family, environment and conditions cannot be with the child or the individual during the developmental period, but when the person realizes himself and engages in an endless struggle for change and development on himself, we can develop most of our features that we complain about and that we call immutable – changeable and in the way we want. Because today, philosophy, psychology, literature, art and other educational facts and systems give us this opportunity. What matters is the effort of the person.
What to do, what are we complaining about, what is the reason for them, can it be changed and controlled? What is under our control and what is not under our control. If we realize these and embark on an endless journey of development, when the time comes, both we and others will notice the change in us. We are never victims. Since no one can subdue us unwillingly, we should make our decisions accordingly and take responsibility for our actions. In order to change ourselves, we need everything, all the power and intelligence; we have the skills, we can learn even if we don't. The internal and external resources we have are more than enough for them. The important thing is to want to get rid of the "I am like this" virus and start dreaming. Once you start dreaming strong enough, actions will follow by themselves. As I always say, “where the interest is, the energy is there…”
Compassion Is Manly
We know the woman; is motherly, creative, fertile, self-sacrificing, self-sacrificing, delicate, graceful, has a closed mysterious world; we know in a sense… Or we think we know…
The man, on the other hand, is another world, but he does not attract much attention because he is in sight. It is open, known, rude, tough, it represents power, but in fact, its heart is as timid as a sparrow, sensitive, emotional. He is protective, sometimes hurtful, warlike, fearless and brave...
But the man is more compassionate, and compassion really suits the man. Compassion, also known as compassion, is a gigantic behavior and attitude that includes emotions such as "love, pity, compassion, benevolence, protection, and taking responsibility".
A man transforms into another human being with a sense of compassion. With a sense of compassion, especially for his wife, children and living creatures, he starts to act selflessly in order to protect, develop and comfort them, to ensure that they live and be happy with all his might. He tends to spend most of his wealth on them. The man who is compassionate and reaches this stage matures and deserves to be an “ancestor”…
If a man is immature, rude, harsh, rude, lacking in manners and decency, then he starts to bore and becomes the person that his environment avoids. No one can look at a man who is immature and does not do justice to his immature age and position, as a mature and adult man. He can't be an ancestor and his word is not listened to...
A man should make caring a way of life. While chasing the future, position and status, the most important feature of the personality, which will make him a respected figure in every stage of his life, will make him more charismatic.
Being a person who hangs, cuts, shouts, breaks, sheds, tough, macho or inaccessible and a little overlooked may seem to protect the man from some external harmful elements, but to get people's eyes and more importantly, to enter the heart of a man's wife or lover only and only if he is compassionate. takes place. That's why being compassionate is an important personality trait that suits a man. Even if spouses often have a decrease in their love for their spouses, their spouses carry and keep them because they are affectionate. Because a man shows a mature and wise stance with a sense of compassion for his wife, children, people and life.
Being compassionate means being human and acting humanely. Even the pain experienced cannot prevent a person from being compassionate. In fact, because of suffering, a person's heart softens even more. He looks at trees, birds, insects and everything that is alive in life…
Being kind doesn't make a man weak. On the contrary, lack of compassion makes people cruel. A man is a symbol of compassion and nobility as much as a woman is a symbol of maternal, self-sacrificing and kindness, and compassion suits a man very, very well.
What is Mindset Change?
Mentality is how something and a phenomenon is viewed; It is the meaning it carries and/or is given for a person or society. A mentality, sometimes called a point of view, a thought.
Mentality has two basic meanings, Either it offers a lot of options to the person; It broadens, enriches and stretches the perspective of the event or things. Therefore, person events and things; With the meaning it gives to life, it goes to a different dimension and reaches a state called success and happiness.
Sometimes it narrows the perspective of the person, drags him into a dead end, solidifies the person and makes him unsuccessful and unhappy. Since the person will act in line with his point of view on events and things, unfortunately, he can make himself into a dungeon by perceiving unreal things and facts as if they are real. The mind acts according to the reality it perceives. Whatever the perception is at that moment, so is the person's thought. Thought finds its way through emotion and behavior and realizes itself, but the result is written to the person. Because one has become either a master or a slave through his thought.
However, mindset change can be learned. It just requires some correct knowledge, flexibility, development of thinking ability and being able to look at things or things from a different perspective.
A change in mindset is not needed when things are going well, but when things get tough, when things get tough, when there are pains or deadlocks, a change in mentality is used to solve important problems for the person; that is, flexibility, being able to see or create different aspects of events is inevitable.
Mindset change is something that philosophers, scientists, shrewd and solution-oriented people, artists, writers, comedians, politicians, salespeople do, in short, everyone in every profession knowingly or unknowingly. To give an example from ourselves, it manifests itself in many things, big and small, that were a problem before but now seem funny when you think about it, and you say "but I exaggerated"...
When you think "the future looks dark", question yourself. Who does this word actually belong to? Are you repeating your word or someone else's? Then, what do you mean by dark? Ask it. Beginning to describe the darkness. Dark for whom, dark for what? What are the benefits of darkness? Or what is luminosity? What is keeping the future from being bright? Ask it. So, scrutinize your thoughts. How solid, how real? What is your role in being dark or light?
Then choose the concepts that affect you. Success, failure, happiness, unhappiness, wealth, poverty, friendship, friendship, betrayal, love, understanding, marriage, femininity, masculinity, power, weakness, etc. For example, is it just a poor person who has no money? Is a person rich even if he has money, fame or possessions? Maybe he is very poor despite his money and power, who knows...
Start to find the right answers to these questions according to yourself, because we begin to transform into what and how we think. However, everything starts and ends in the head. Don't be too confident in your mind. Just as the mind can make the flea camel, so can the flea camel, but trust your mind. The way to develop the mind is to gain knowledge by reading, observing, trial and error, or wondering about the experiences of others.
Mindset change is not just the property of some private individuals. Learning to think, reaching the right information and using it as it should be; It is the work of people who are against memorization and love to live.
The way to make difficult easy is practice; failing until you succeed is the basis of this teaching. People who are stubborn and determined enough will sooner or later start to be a light to both themselves and others with their flexible, rich and virtuous perspectives.
Who is Ruling Us?..
No, no, I will not write a political article and as a scientist, it is above politics; rather, it will be a philosophical and psychological journey of thought, and while I am looking for answers to my own thoughts, my aim is to share you on this journey...
I was interested in positive psychology's approaches to understanding people and their minds apart from illness. In particular, the inner image of the person called "self-perception, esteem"; The self-perception is the part that actually manages the person, makes him/her love life, makes it successful and/or makes life dungeon… Studies conducted in this field have shown that “the communication between the person and himself/herself is positive, constructive, peaceful, affectionate; The part that accepts it as it is, tolerates it and embraces even mistakes and mistakes really makes a person both happy and successful in a way and turns him into a person who overcomes difficulties in life.
The reverse is also true; If a person does not accept himself as he is, underestimates his potential, if his inner self-perception is negative, unpleasant, pessimistic, destructive, one gets a terrible, unbearable, painful feeling and turns both his own life and the lives of others into a dungeon. Such people find life unbearable, they fall into emptiness, their joy of living decreases, and they begin to perceive the world and life in a similar way as they are; that is, they perceive everything badly when they look at life through the dirty glass.
In some cases, over-optimists come out and see everything in rosy color. This is an incorrect point of view. Either way, life becomes unbearable. However, thinking more realistically and despite everything, that life has beautiful sides, can bring a person's life into a spring with love for life and the right effort. This is what I call positive realism or optimism. The most important value that a person should learn or teach himself is "self-respect". A person with sufficient self-respect begins to live in a value-oriented manner and works with all his might to become the master of his own life. Maybe not your life, but he works to make his own life meaningful and valuable. How can I be better; How can I better help or make a difference, starting with myself? he thinks. He turns life into a journey and, as the poet says, takes a "long and narrow road". He is happy with that too.
Yes, it is how we perceive ourselves, that is, inside us. Sometimes this perception is damaged by negative and wrong conditioning, it wears out or gets tired, but if a person comes to his senses, he reads, thinks, wonders, and researches, he can transform himself and his destiny into the way he wants again. There are many examples of these people in life and they become our heroes...
We can develop our own inner sense of self in many ways. Our priority is to respect ourselves unconditionally, to believe in our potential, to develop our skills in the area we are curious about, to put love at the center of life and not to take things personally, to love the difficult, to be determined, to respect the rules, to try not to hurt anyone on purpose, to take a good, direct and beautiful attitude, to read, imagine; Visualizing ourselves as the best we can be for at least ten minutes each day can work. Let's finish by saying that whoever provides inner peace also provides outer peace.
The essence of life is communication
If I say that our quality of life depends on the quality of the communication we have with ourselves and others (human, animal, environment, tree, property, etc.), you would not object at all. Because, starting from ourselves, our communication with the ecosystem we live in, that is, with beings outside of us, will determine our happiness and success. Likewise, miscommunication will bring unhappiness, failure and meaninglessness.
Communication is made with one party and is first constructed to understand and make sense of. One of these parties is the communication we establish with ourselves and even the quality of it. How we react when something (positive or negative) happens to us determines the quality of our communication with ourselves, even if the stimuli and the occasional things come from outside.
When we act reactive instead of understanding the events, going down to the causes and learning from them, when we look for the guilty, wrong and wrong outside ourselves, our communication with ourselves begins to deteriorate; Since we cannot manage events and processes, we become victims. We think more realistically about the meaning we give to events, we can protect ourselves from their effects, we can change or when we have the power to change, we can take a step to become the master of our lives and have a more active, effective and decisive role. Many people, whom we emulate and take as an example, look at the negative events we experience differently, constructively, empoweringly and decisively, and they take a tour accordingly. Everything that is possible for them is possible for us, but in order to reach that dimension, it is necessary to eat an oven of bread.
Since communication power is based on understanding, interpretation and direction, this skill is a skill that can be learned and should be the basis of human development. Communication is not just communicating and influencing. The main task of communication is to be happy and successful and to prevent violence. “If there is no peace within, there will be no peace outside.” However, the main mistakes made are trying to change or influence them by putting their heads and their mistakes on the basis of life, which is wrong. We do not have a chance to change others, but it will affect ourselves, our thoughts, our behavior - which starts with changing perception - then it will affect our communication with other people and will enable us to control many things. That's the power, I think. For this, language, words and behaviors are a means, not an end. And in that way, we can create ourselves as realistic, constructive, optimistic and what we imagine in our minds and act in that context. Isn't the purpose of life to overcome, create, find and live yourself anyway...
We are never victims and helpless, and no one can make us victim and helpless unwillingly. It is necessary not to surrender, to resist, to resist and to put forward a more positive, constructive and optimistic effort, which is based on hope. Hope produces a cure; it moves people. Optimism is the ability to put forward the best by using the resources that can be learned and that we have correctly. Optimistic realism is the wealth of a mature person.
One must learn to manage oneself, and self-management training must be given both at home and at school. It's no joke. Education and training is not just about memorizing information. If there are no life skills, that education is incomplete and its basis is the quality of communication that a person will establish with himself and others. I have a strong belief that communication can solve 70-80% of the problems of a society that corrects…
Spring has come, we are happy, but I wish you happy days with the hope that the spring inside us will always continue.
Do not give up!
In recent days, there have been some situations that have been increasing and I have been experiencing quite often. Whoever I meet, they say, "Sir, suggest something to format my brain," because they know what I'm doing and my job. Especially in the last few days, they complain that they are in a very negative thought whirlpool, that something bad will happen and that they cannot enjoy anything. When I ask them how they spend their days, they start to talk about the fact that they work hard, cannot breathe, do not have time to spare for themselves, are in a rush to keep a house, about children, sometimes their spouse, the state of the country, etc. I also say “normal” because the effort to adapt, which turns into a monotonous and vicious circle as a result of being human only to work, to have a house, and to postpone some wishes and desires, naturally pushes people to unhappiness; therefore, it causes a number of emotional, spiritual and even physical problems.
No one can lift such a load. A person who is burdened in every way and forced to live on his own will have to deal with feelings of loneliness, alienation and worthlessness, and will often succumb to these feelings. Especially in recent years, people have been taking antidepressant drugs, taking psychiatry sessions, and seeking New Age fashion in order to find a solution to their problems.
While some of these orientations work, others make the situation even more difficult. However, although it is a variable depending on the person, some people go to the extremes, turn to coffee fortune telling, seclusion, pilgrim, teacher, healer, and hope for science and irrational pursuits.
Because human is an irrational being, it is sometimes unpredictable what he will do. The smartest of us try to be happy by doing the craziest things.
Since the paths I suggest to those who ask me for help seem too long to them, they want information or quick solutions. And when I say "There is no shortcut to mastery", they say "We don't have that much time" and they don't even hear most of my suggestions...
We are alive, but we cannot live life, and there are many reasons for this. When elements such as responsibilities, desperation, addictions, inadequacies, our inability to belong only to ourselves, weaknesses, passions, ambitions, dissatisfaction, and greed are added, the taste of life is lost.
Even those who have money, power, position and time can't make it, they may have some dilemmas. So everyone is a little deficient and incompetent. However, living life comes before existence. Enjoying life, having fun, resting, lingering, joking, being in touch with nature, being with friends, spending time with loved ones, going on vacation, participating in activities, drinking coffee, reading a book, lazing sometimes, taking walks, getting hobbies, exploring new places Human-like things are also important for living. If we cannot do this, if we have learned to complain and only to complain, and if we do not make an effort to change and improve, our job is difficult.
Life can't make us the way it wants. It doesn't have that power. Our hands will not chop onions either. By creating a harmonious inner world, we can avoid being a victim by knowing ourselves and developing our competencies. First we have to learn to say no. Then we can make the changes we want by being strong, flexible, smart and knowledgeable by ensuring internal and external harmony. Wanting is important, but even more important is taking action and showing the determination to keep trying until we get what we want. We have the power to do this. Let's not forget, what is possible for someone else may be possible for us, we can learn. Challenges are important factors that drive us. It is more valuable to choose to fight rather than flee.
This is My Message to Mothers and Mother-to-be
Our mothers who sacrifice their sleep, pleasure, salary and life, and fight for the best of everything.
Our mothers who talk to her before she is born, try to feed her well even when she is in her womb, and choose clothes with the most beautiful dreams.
Our mothers and mother candidates who are heralded with heaven.
You are merciful to me.
When a mother is angry with her child, that child both cries and cries in her mother's bosom.
No matter what the age of his child is, that child cannot find peace without smelling his mother's scent and feeling his mercy.
Mom reminds me of the deep state as well.
It shows up unexpectedly, gives hope, solves problems, mediates, provides financial support, always rushes to help like a covert allowance.
One cannot always ask for money from his father, siblings, spouse or friend.
When it comes to the mother, she immediately refers to her as the first address.
Even men, when they are stuck for cash, first ask their wife and ask for their gold as a loan.
On that day, the husband realizes that “The most reliable cashier is the woman, the mother”
Mothers always have savings on one side.
What he increased from the market money, saved, kept as a bad day.
Mother is fertile, fertile.
The smart one is the one who makes his wife do his savings and entrusts the safe to her.
I recommend the following to all mothers or expectant mothers;
There are dozens of supports and incentives provided by the state, make sure to take advantage of it.
Make sure to save a certain part of your savings or savings as gold for the long term.
Open a joint account at the bank with your spouse. When the target becomes a partner, the savings are controlled. Even if your spouse has good intentions, he may lose his savings with wrong decisions. Like a gambling addiction.
Never trade on your savings. Many of your friends around you will always try to advise you so that you can buy this, sell this, buy here, sell here, earn like this, earn like that. Never fall into this trap. Those who accumulate long-term and protect their savings win.
Even if you are a housewife, try to work from home. At least you pay for your insurance.
In order not to need the mercy of others, you must have a savings of your own.
You can improve yourself, come up with new business ideas, and increase your income with online training.
If you don't have a house, don't waste your time to save money, get into home installment debt with a 25 percent down payment from companies that produce social housing projects. The first goal should be to buy a house. It doesn't have to be in the city centre. Even if it is outside the city, it will be easier to buy a house in the city when your installments are over.
Our newlywed mothers-to-be can save more easily and faster at a young age. Just because you're young doesn't mean expense is your priority. Avoid unnecessary expenses. Set a goal with your partner. This can be called car, land, house or something different.
The piggy bank habit is important for both you and your children. Your kids will do what they see. Teach them to buy toys with their own savings.
If you have neglected to buy a gift for your wife or mother today, or if you do not have one, you will be giving them the best gift by making optional insurance entries.
I kiss the hands of all our mothers.
Happy mothers day…
Why does no one have a reliable memory?
When people are having an experience, more than one event actually happens at that moment. In a seminar you have attended to make a presentation, your main action may be to make a presentation. However, at that time, you may meet one of the participants' eyes, experience performance anxiety, try to control your gestures and facial expressions, try to understand the attention and interest of the participants in the presentation, think about the source of the noise coming from outside. Multitasking can also give you clues about your complex attention. complex attention; short-term memory and working memory can be activated at the same time. It is the ability of the person to continue with the basic action that needs to be focused despite the disruptors and distractions. Examples such as being able to chat at the same time while eating, listening to music while studying, or watching a television program while dressing your child can show that the person uses his/her complex attention effectively. Well, despite the fact that more than one action can be taken by a person during an event, do all these experiences remain in mind like a photographic frame?
Most people think that what they remember is true, but beliefs, values, and prejudices can fill in the blanks. I want you to remember the presentation example I gave at the beginning of the article. Let's imagine that one of the audience yawns while the person is presenting and the presenter notices it. After the seminar is over, the presenter may have thoughts such as: “Everyone is bored”, “Nobody liked my presentation”, “I made the participants sleepy”. At this very point, the individual started to fill the gaps in his mind with his prejudices. And perhaps months after the presentation, even though the presenter sees a person yawn, they can also insert unrealistic thoughts such as “Many people were yawning” or “They were talking among themselves” in those gaps.
The area of our brain called the Hippocampus collects and puts all these events together into scattered lego pieces. Three things can help us to put these pieces together more accurately.
The first of these is emotions. If the human brain associates the emotion it felt with the event it experienced, it can remember the event more accurately even if time passes.
The second is space. When the person encodes the objects or tangible things in the place where the experience is experienced, he can remember the lived event more accurately. Coding the experience with a sentence such as "The male participant in the blue shirt sitting in the 4th row at the seminar in the conference hall yawned" can prevent prejudices and beliefs from filling in the blanks.
Finally, narrating an event causes us to remember it more accurately, even if time has passed since that event. For example, while it is difficult to memorize mathematical data, it may be easier to memorize theater or movie lines. As a result, no one has a completely reliable memory, but there are different ways to remember our personal memories exactly as they happened.
A call to meet with our authentic selves, following our intuition.
Most of us now know archetypes: We can call them collective libraries about roles, feelings and life. If we define our life as a journey when we say mother archetype, wise archetype, shadow archetype, meeting each archetype can be read as a new initiation ceremony. Our bond with some archetypes is stronger: we are born with an inclination towards that archetype or the inheritance we inherit from our family and lineage allows us to meet that archetype more strongly. We bury some archetypes at the bottom of our suitcases: sometimes because our family, sometimes because the society wants it that way. To stay safe, to be chosen or not to be abandoned.
I can say that the Wild Woman archetype is one of the most important archetypes that remains at the bottom of the suitcases of women in the modern world, waiting to be remembered and present their gifts. We forgot the existence and meaning of this archetype because society knew it wasn't right for the system for women to stay in touch with their wild nature. We are tamed; We are unable to hear the call of our authentic self. We were ashamed of or ignored our intuitions that flowed from our hearts and tried to connect us with our authentic selves. We glorified logic, moved away from intuition. Now is the time to reconnect and become one with the earth, water, earth and sky. The era of domination is over, power wars are slowly losing their meaning; The period of unity and togetherness begins and it is important to face every part of us that we have been tamed and to pass through this path with compassion, awareness and transformation. Just like a snake that peels off its old skin easily and naturally, surrenders to meet the new and moves by allowing what will be.
Rosita Arvigo, world-renowned healer and founder of the Mayan Womb Massage technique, says of this book: “I've never seen an author put into words the concepts of what it means to be a woman that encompass the deepest spiritual meaning and eternal symbolism. Kent's book is a must read for all students and teachers working in the field of the mysteries of the female body and the energies that define us.” Let me add to this: I think Wild Femininity is a book that should be read by anyone who experiences existence in the female body.
You know the book Women Who Run with the Wolves; This is the book written by Estes. works on women as an initiation ceremony and a healing field through fairy tales. The tales in the book invite many women to break the habit of being themselves, to abandon the roles assigned to them, and to become free from the stories of wounds they carry on their bodies in their psyches. Here, the practices, meditations and contemplation questions in the book Wild Feminine invite the reader to a powerful adventure, just like the tales in the book Women Running with the Wolves.
In the book, she presents a field of study on the female body, the energy flows and balances in the female body, how ancestral wound stories can be transformed, and how women can build their selves according to their own inner realities rather than the limits set by their families, society, or anyone else.
I also have a heartfelt call to the woman reading this article.
This is a call to understand the life-death-life cycle.
This is a call for you to leave the story where you were forced to be kind and gentle, to conform.
This is a call for you to get to know your body and discover its inspiration, joy, and spirit.
This is a call to transform the stories you have inherited from your feminine ancestors.
What is passive income, how to get it
Want to earn passive income and don't know where to start? If you need a little extra money like everyone else, especially during this pessimistic time of the economy, put everything aside now and read this detailed income guide with your full attention. When you finish reading, you can be sure that you will have all the information you need on this subject.
What is passive income?
Passive income is a method of generating income with little or no time spent. In earning this type of income, you do not have to make a regular effort such as a part-time or full-time job. The main purpose of passive income is to have a regular income stream by allocating as little time as possible. If you have enough financial resources, you can easily earn income by making financial investments. For example, you can rent your house or buy stock. However, in cases where you do not have enough financial resources, it is possible to earn passive income by using your intellectual resources intelligently.
So where should I start?
Today, you have to know the logic of establishing a system in order to earn income passively. Otherwise, even if you manage to earn income passively, you will have a hard time maintaining it. As a result, if you do not have the financial resources to invest, you should learn how to maintain your passive income source.
When many people learn that passive income doesn't take time, they start looking for ways to passively earn an overnight income. However, the logic of passive income is to establish a system where you can earn a regular income without having to make an active effort day by day. Of course, it takes effort and time to set up the system, but once you can successfully set up the system, you don't have to spend a lot of effort to get regular income. The system you have successfully installed already works by itself. Therefore, if you do not have financial resources and you intend to earn income passively, you first need to learn what it means to set up a system and its basic logic.
Misconceptions about passive income
FALSE INFORMATION: Passive income is a very short-term project.
TRUE INFORMATION: You cannot generate income without an investment. If your investment is not based on a financial source, it should be based on an emotional, intellectual and social source. So if you don't have a shop to rent, then you can passively generate income by demonstrating your emotional resilience, knowledge or social circle. For this, you should allocate a time period of at least 6 months-1 year for yourself.
MYTH: Only rich people get passive income.
TRUE INFORMATION: It is of course true that people with passive income and financial freedom get it more easily. However, the reason for this is the importance of having the right information, access to the right people and having the right mindset to establish the right system, rather than the abundance of financial resources. If you don't try, you will never progress. If you don't ask, you'll never learn. If you don't start, you'll never finish. Be brave and determined.
FALSE INFORMATION: Nobody pays me anything.
TRUE FACT: If you think no one will pay you, chances are that no one will pay you. However, if you put a valuable product in the middle, those who see the value of your product will agree to make a payment accordingly. The important thing is, are you ready to put value?
Passive income suggestions
To earn passive income, you must find a way to turn your knowledge and skills into a long-term money without investing too much of your time. For this, you must either use an existing system or set up your own system.
**Tip 1: Buy stock photos**
Of course, you will have to work hard to take the photos at the beginning and what you need to pay attention to in order for them to be sold. However, if you invest a certain amount of time in this business, then money will come to your account as passive income every time your photos are purchased.
**Tip 2: Start a blog**
If you are confident in your writing skills, have an expertise in a subject, or can research your interests for hours without getting bored, then you may want to consider starting a blog. If you don't know where to start, Blog projects are long-term projects and it may take a long time for your posts to be noticed and clicks on your site to increase, but after you reach a certain audience, you can get ads on your site or you can earn passive income by participating in affiliate programs, the details of which you will learn in the next article.
**Tip 3: Join affiliate marketing**
In a world where everyone links, why not earn commissions by sharing links! Is not it? Content production is indeed a rising trend, and the best part is to take advantage of commissioned link programs called affiliate links. What you need to do is produce written, audio or video content and have an audience.
**Tip 4: Write a digital book**
You can prepare a digital book if there is a subject you are specialized in. Digital books are easier to sell. People who know you as an expert can buy your digital book by paying a certain fee. The systems you need to use for this are also not very complicated. Moreover, since you can prepare the digital book once and sell it many times, it will be more than worth your time.
**Tip 5: Write an application**
They don't say "learn software" in vain! Kidding aside, if the idea of developing an app excites you, ask Google "How to Make an App?" When you write, you will come across a lot of resources online where you can take lessons on this subject. If you are determined, you can write your applications and upload them to the Apple Store and Android Market and earn income passively. Moreover, what you will learn in this process may present you with more opportunities than passive income. keep in mind!
**Tip 6: Start a podcast**
“I don't know how to edit video at all, isn't there a slightly easier way?” Those who say can consider starting a podcast business. Podcasting is an increasingly popular form of broadcasting among content producers. Moreover, since visuality is not involved, you have the opportunity to produce really interesting, enjoyable and informative content without having to worry about aesthetics. Of course, you will need to build an audience in order to passively generate income from podcast publishing. However, it is possible to gain a faster audience on podcast platforms where there is less competition.
Earning passive income depends on long-term projects and understanding the logic of a self-functioning system. Of course, not all income methods are limited to this. There is no limit to what you can do to earn income passively in the digital world. If you are willing to passively earn income, then you can give one of the above options at least 6 months and see how far you can go.
May you earn a lot of money, your pockets are full of money! Love…
Are mental health mobile apps helpful or harmful?
Thanks to the developing technology, we can follow many developments from where we sit, connect to the other side of the world with a single button, and reach the support we need in almost every field within minutes. Many possibilities are now just a click away, especially thanks to mobile applications that are developing, renewing and increasing in number day by day. Mental health mobile applications, which have become more and more widespread in recent years, are used by more and more people every day. Mental health applications, which have managed to attract attention due to their large user base, raise many questions: Are mental health mobile applications useful, harmful, effective? Many questions may come to light. Although many experts have differences of opinion on this issue, it is possible to say that there are those who are as concerned as the defenders. Let's take a look at mental health practices, both good and bad.
The most important factors in choosing mental health practices are that they are easily accessible, can be used at low cost, and that they create a facilitating effect for people who are afraid of face-to-face therapy and do not have the courage to take the first step to get support.
It is a matter of curiosity whether the applications are more effective than traditional therapies. Scientific research that can answer this question must continue. Experts point out that only well-developed and clinically-tested applications can benefit, otherwise the applications will not be beyond commercial concern.
It examined mental health apps for anxiety, depression, and stress, and failed to come up with convincing evidence that the apps effectively treated people's symptoms. However, the results of the study also pointed out that the applications have the potential to improve anxiety, depression and stress, and the idea that more in-depth research should be done on the subject was presented by the researchers.
He also states that he believes that as technology continues to evolve, applications can yield more efficient results, and that content can be customized to tailor an individual's therapeutic experience with machine learning-based algorithms.
Many studies still continue to examine whether mental health practices are helpful, harmful, or ineffective. A study published in 2018 draws attention to the fact that many mental health practices that are accessible to everyone lack scientific support and that various indicators must be determined in order to evaluate practices as “good” or “correct”.
Considering all these, it is possible to say that as technology progresses, applications will continue to improve and the number of applications that truly provide pure benefit to users will increase by determining quality criteria more clearly.
Witness the enchanting dance of the fireflies with the night
From insects and fungi to predators and phytoplankton, you can find bioluminescence all over the world. The most well-known example of these is the firefly. But did you know that there are fireflies living in the sea?
These stunning animals live in the waters surrounding Japan and are known locally as 'umi-hotaru'. Although fireflies are 3 millimeters in size, they create blue colored light in response to physical stimulus.
The stunning bioluminescences are perfectly photographed for the photography exhibition called 'The Weeping Stones'. The creative minds of this surreal work are Canadian photographer Trevor Williams and British videographer Jonathan Galione. The duo, who have a company called Tdub Photo, live in Okayama, Japan. Okayama is known as a place where fireflies living in the seas are abundant. Galione and Williams state that although the number of this species is very large in the region, it is still not as easy to take these unique photographs as it seems, and they add: 'These species usually live in shallow waters on the beach. That's why you can often see them stranded. But to get the amount we use in our photos, you have to seek it out.'
If you find yourself one day in Okayama or another region where surreal bioluminescence is abundant, and you can take excellent photos like theirs.
Features of Google Maps you've probably never heard of before
Google Maps is one of the most widely used applications on the phone of almost everyone in the world, with great features such that you can travel around the world without getting lost as long as you have your phone with you, reach an address you have never been to before, discover the restaurants near you instantly when you are hungry, and many more. . Google Maps, which radically changes our travel habits and way of navigating, is not just an application that tells us how long it will take to get from point A to point B by car, public transport or on foot, draws the most appropriate route, and considers many factors such as traffic conditions. Beyond all these wonderful features that make life easier, Google Maps is a geospatial search engine for the world we live on.
Google continues to renew and improve its maps application, one of its most used products, day by day. But there are a lot of customizable tools and hidden functions that you may not know about, such as Incognito Mode, that have existed in Google Maps for a long time. Let's take a closer look at the amazing features of Google Maps you've probably never heard of, and the life-enhancing tips.
**Covid-19 testing and information**
Like everyone else, Google Maps has made some updates to its features due to the pandemic. When you open Google Maps and type a covid test, you can get a list of tested places with contact information and opening hours. You can also review up-to-date data on COVID-19 cases in your area by tapping the 'layers' icon and clicking 'About COVID-19'.
**İndoor navigation**
Did you know that you can use Google Maps not only to find a specific location, but also to review the details of the location you've been to? You can find the location you want to go to on Maps, click on it, and then go to the 'directory' section in the submenu that opens, find out which stores or venues are in the shopping mall, airport or other large buildings/complexes, and access the address and contact information with a single touch.
**Customize the navigation icon**
If you generally prefer to use Google Maps on car journeys, it is possible to choose which car will appear on the navigation icon in iOS and Android applications. Enter the app, type your destination and start directions. Tap on the icon showing your current location and select one of the sedan, pickup truck or SUV icon alternatives according to your vehicle's characteristics from the menu that offers various car icon options.
**Voice interaction with the map**
If you prefer to fix your phone while driving and want to interact with Google Maps without taking your eyes off the road, you can consider the voice command option. With the “OK Google” voice commands in the Google Maps Android application, it is possible to learn where to go or the gas stations on the road without touching your phone. You can easily find out which is the next stop, how long will it take to reach the destination, how is the traffic, by installing Google Assistant on your Android phone. On iOS, it is possible to voice your questions on the map by tapping the microphone icon right next to the search bar.
**Offline maps**
Especially when we go abroad or go to a place where the phone does not receive, we may need to use an offline map. In such locations where we need maps the most, you can use the offline maps feature of Google Maps and you can easily find your direction even if you do not have an active internet connection on your phone.
To use this feature, first write down the address you are going to in a place with an internet connection and swipe up on the menu at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the three-dot icon and select 'download offline map'. If your device has enough storage space, the map of the region you specified will be automatically saved. Then, to access this area without using the internet, first tap on your avatar and then tap on offline maps in the menu that appears. In this way, even if you do not have internet access, you can use the maps application as if you were online.
**Drawing a route with multiple locations**
You went out for the weekend and wanted to go to the beach on the way back home. However, Google Maps decided that the most logical route was another route, not the coastal road, and did not show how many minutes it would take to get home from the coast. Not being able to calculate the difference and not being able to predict how long your journey will be – especially in a city where traffic is a big problem in big cities – is quite frustrating, isn't it? In fact, we rarely make car trips to get from point A to point B. Especially while traveling, we may want to stop somewhere on the way and plan to reach the final destination. Fortunately, Google Maps has a solution to this need as well.
To add multiple destinations in the Google Maps mobile app, enter your starting point and final destination, get directions, then click the three dots in the upper right corner. A drop-down menu will appear with the option "Add a stop". Click this and you can add a personalized route for yourself by adding multiple stops. It should be noted that this feature, which is designed only for car journeys, is not valid for the public transportation option.
**Route change with drag and drop**
The drag and drop method, which is not available in mobile applications and only works when you enter it from the desktop, is a feature that will make your job easier when creating your route in the desktop version of Maps. When you want to pass through certain locations or when you want to skip difficult routes such as mountain roads and use highways, what you need to do is very simple to use this feature, which allows you to create the route that will be most suitable for you: First, determine the point you want to go to and get directions as usual. Then, identify the points you want to change direction, click on that part of the route, and drag without releasing it to the place you want to pass. Google Maps will redraw your route according to this preference and re-determine the most suitable route for you.
**One-touch access to all instructions**
As you know, the Google Maps application instantly shares details such as where you should turn while you are on the road, how many meters are left to the intersection, in voice or in writing, depending on your preference. However, if you want to examine where you will pass while reaching your destination, where you will turn before you go on the road, there is a solution for this: First, type your destination in the search bar. When you right-click on the destination, you will find a list of all directions, such as where you should deviate on the route from your current location to your destination. This feature is only available on desktop.
**Automatically delete call history**
Google also allows you to automatically delete your location history from the company's servers at regular intervals. To automatically clear data to be deleted every three months, 18 months, or 36 months, go to myactivity.google.com and Location History > An auto-delete where you can choose how often to delete your data, including where you've been on Google Maps. Click Choose option. In this way, you can ensure that all your data is cleaned at the frequency you specify.
**Live location sharing**
Did you know that you can instantly share your current location on Google Maps with other people for a certain period of time? When you share your location with a specific person, that person can see your location icon moving in real time on their map. On Android or iOS, tap your profile icon in the top right and select location sharing, then choose who you want to share with and for how long. During the period you specify, this person can follow your location on his own map.
**Finding a charging station for electric vehicles**
With the increase in the number of people who want to turn to sustainable options in transportation, there has been a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles in traffic in recent years. Keeping up with this change, Google Maps also offers its users the information of electric vehicle charging stations so that electric vehicles can reach the nearest charging stations much more easily. To charge your electric car, you can easily find the nearest charging station by typing 'charging station' into Google Maps.
**Sharing your favorite locations**
A great restaurant you've been to, a cafe you've just discovered, or a must-visit place in a city you've traveled and loved very much… Google Maps also allows you to share the places you like and add to your favourites, with your friends.
To send a location that you have added to your favorites to your friends via message, e-mail or any application you prefer, simply type the location in the search bar and tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen that appears. If you want to share multiple locations, you can also create a Pinterest-like list in Google Maps. On the main page of the application, you can see all the places you have favorited together by touching the registered ones at the bottom, you can create your own lists with the places you choose among your favorites and easily share them with your loved ones by touching the new list at the end of the list.
Rainbow settled in the ground, Rainbow Mountains
You know, there are seven colors that form in the sky after the rain and make everyone who sees them smile and happy, think of those colors embedded in the ground. Yes, I'm talking about the Rainbow Mountains in Peru. It is a colorful mountain formed by the combination of seven different minerals as a result of tectonic fractures. Three hours from Cusco. The roads are mountainous, winding, cliffs everywhere. I guess I don't need to tell you the beauty of the scenery.
The service we are in belongs to the tour we have purchased. The easiest and most preferred way to go to the Rainbow Mountains is to buy a tour. So we did. We researched the prices the day before, and got the best one. They asked where we were staying, we said, they said be at the door at 04:00 in the morning, we did. A woman came, we followed her, and we went to the square to gather the people included in the tour. The shuttle that would take us up the mountain was waiting there. By mountain, I mean only its entrance, not its peak. Vehicles are not allowed to go any further.
The next 8 km on foot or by horse. We didn't even think about riding a horse, we walked. If you go, don't get on the horse either. Walk. Press that ground, feel the energy there. You will get tired more quickly than usual, stop and rest. Your cheek is already full of coca leaves. There are those who give cologne every step of the way, go get one of those colognes, smell it, it's good. Low oxygen head is a nice thing. It turns out how much unnecessary oxygen we consume in city life. It is very pleasant to observe the changes that occur as you ascend to the heights. Don't miss this opportunity. If you ride a horse, it can escape. The decrease in oxygen, the cooling of the air and the snowfall on the summit accompanied by blizzard. We were walking around in Cusco in a thin coat. Now sweaters, caps.
I'm going back. To the beginning of the journey. We passed over mountains and cliffs and finally arrived at a village. That is, not inside the village, but on the edge. Here we will have breakfast somewhere. Obviously, high altitude requires high energy. They are putting everything in front of us to achieve this. First popcorn. Eggs, honey, jams, bananas… Lots of coca tea. Lots of other foods that I can't remember right now. They say eat, we will go to 4600 meters, you need it. That's how much the tour takes. It is your choice to go up to 5 thousand. The most challenging is the last 400 meters. But it's worth it, precise information.
Anyway, back to our topic. We had our over-energized breakfast, stuffed some coca leaves in our pockets, and got on the bus to continue on the road. The guide distributed coca leaves to everyone and told us how to use it. What we took for breakfast left us with snow. We'll use them later if needed. These leaves are not chewed. It is placed on the side of the cheek and it stays there. By the way, the tour guide gave information along the way. About the mountain, about the Incas, about coffee… After the first “Does anyone know Spanish?” she asked, we were just three. He came to us and spoke in English. He talked about women with flowered hats on their heads. They are widowed. “Only widows wear flower hats,” he said. He talked about the minerals that make up the colors. He said that the source of the yellow color is potassium. I just remember this. If I remember correctly. Might as well have said magnesium.
After the stories told by the guide, the beauty of the road, the excitement of going up to 5 thousand, we come to the end of the place where we go by shuttle service. The shuttle stops in a wide area, we get off. They give baton. “The road is difficult, it is not possible without a baton,” they say. A little explanation is given in Spanish. Then they come and tell us their English. I don't remember what they said. Maybe I haven't heard much. We start walking. It's a bit crowded as it's the weekend. Go on a weekday if possible. Those who walk extremely slowly, those who want to reach their goal as soon as possible, those who pretend to not have difficulty even though they are struggling… The road almost reflects everyone's character. “I am not really tired. Only my legs hurt, I stop from it,” our friend gasps.
There are occasional stalls along the way. Biscuits, cola, coca tea etc. they are selling. At 4600 meters, alpaca meat is added to this. I think it smells bad. We take a cup of tea, sit on a stone and watch the rainbow settled on the ground. It is not clear as the weather is cloudy. After resting for a while, we take our poles and climb 5,000. Nothing appears. The clouds have come and settled at the top again. Fog everywhere. Snowflakes hit our faces, we're cold, but we don't care. If I had something thick on me, I would have stayed there for hours, but it wasn't there. Moreover, we have to be at the service at a certain time. We are forced to embark on the descent path. This time I watch the changes as they descend. The snow gives way to rain, then the sun comes out. Oxygen is rising, steps are accelerating. Tired and rest disappear completely. My friends dive into the conversation, I run away from them. Because at that moment I just want to listen to the sound of nature.
It's not one of us who doesn't like it: A dream trip to Miami
Forcing and trying to make it happen are two actions in my life these days. Do you also have things that you cannot accept and do everything for them to happen? In the end, though, the universe and time win. It doesn't happen, but it's not very good, and then you realize that -as the pain of not being there gets colder, of course- it's not good for you. Looking to the past did not gain anything and it will not benefit any of us. The only thing we can look back on is the trips. Let's just say how nice we traveled, ate, drank and bought. Memories are only beautiful in travel. The rest unfortunately succumb to the passing time…
Then let go of the sentimentality, let's teleport back to the past, I'm sending those who call us Captain on a hot route. For example, let's be on the Miami line. One of the places where it will be said, "He who does not love is not one of us". Is not it?
I literally fell in love with this route and I spent it there to the fullest (the full part is actually quite a lot). The level of culture was also very high. This time, because I researched quite a bit beforehand. I always say I should have chosen Miami. However, it was a nice experience in the hostel I stayed in Miami. But even as I write now, I'm undecided. Salute to my effort to change the one at the beginning of the article! I still haven't learned, there is no cure for the dead
I wish I hadn't stayed there, but was it bad that I stayed? No. But I must have a wish, I will find it… As its name suggests, the roof floor had a magnificent view of the moon and the sea. It was enough for us, it was very convenient. Come and tell me not to go crazy now? I wrote the positive side of it, I wonder why I didn't stay, right? What if I told you that it takes 20 minutes to go to Miami every evening, both for the sea during the day and for a stroll after dinner?
Then I start from the first morning: after a nice breakfast, we threw ourselves into the countryside. God, what a magnificent place! I ate those stairs every day in that heat, yes, I tried to swim in that wave yes, I ate and drank whatever (no alcohol) available in that only municipal place, yes. Yes to all. If I have love, yes to everything. Is it blindness or unconditional love? I didn't know. I used to say that I can't even be friends with someone who chose the second option (haha). I'm a big fan.
In summary: Spending time in the center of Miami is incredibly enjoyable. Their cafes are now full of classics. For example, what a great chance to find a place and sit in Lokma. While you are eating at the table under the jasmine flower, you are already enchanted by the smell of the rain. Am I too romantic? This is how the first evening ended.
Did I love it so much with its long sandy beach, sand like deserts and wavy sea? Not really. But I added it as a good experience. Give your hand to your evening again, Miami. We gave the finale of the night by brewing in a nice tavern but having fun. The days pass like water. Because time is flowing peacefully in Miami exactly as it should be.
The boat tour was done that day. It took the whole day, but it was worth it. The bays are magnificent. This is actually an island, but how few people are left living… I wonder if they are aware that they can live in paradise without dying. That moment will be broken as soon as they realize it. So I hope they don't wake up. It is so beautiful and natural that life is there. It's impossible not to be familiar with it. The soul is drawn there directly to the beautiful. We spend the evening in our hostel for dinner and moonlight. It is also good to rest after the boat tour.
This is a farewell, actually a promise to come again or… Because I will come. It has already been added to the must-have list. It's a long Miami day and we stay out of the water for hours. But like everything we said never to end, this last day also ends. Vacation is ending. So now it's time to return. Time to wake up from another dream.
I say hello to Miami and its lovers and hope to see you again very soon.
Artificial intelligence and its unpredictable threats: Will it dull our problem-solving skills?
Think about it, how many of us can go a week without a phone? Those days when we memorized phone numbers are already a thing of the past. Technology has made our lives so much easier and has connected us to it so much that we do not know how to take our next step without it. It is clear that being so dependent on artificial intelligence blunts some of our abilities, especially our problem-solving skills. How Does? Let's see together!
Artificial intelligence algorithms; It has transformed everything from online shopping to our driving experience. There are even software that can write poetry and test the accuracy of scientific articles. With personal assistants supported by artificial intelligence, from Siri to Alexa, it is now possible to handle your daily work as if you are talking to a real person, without worrying about it. You can manage the house with your virtual assistant and even ask him to make an appointment with you. You don't have to pay attention to where you're going, even when you're driving or walking. Because GPS will tell you where to turn every time. You do not need to open a book or search for something on the Google search engine to access the information. Just ask your personal assistant the question. He or she will do the necessary research for you and come up with a solution.
Instead of keeping the information in our brains, we leave the strings in the hands of artificial intelligence so that it can think for us. We don't know where is the right direction, or sometimes we can't even answer a simple question. All we have to do is consult our device. Then we saw that we started to live our lives on autopilot.
**How does artificial intelligence affect our memory?**
So let's come to the real question: Will artificial intelligence really take humanity to a higher point? Will it help us overcome the limits of our memory? Or will it make us lazier and take away our problem-solving skills?
When we are exposed to vast amounts of data, like the ocean, we have to push ourselves; so our brain works faster. It is assumed that human intelligence increases with each generation compared to the previous one. Artificial intelligence can help us speed up our information processing skills. However, in an environment where the flow of data and information accelerates, it is obvious that people's decision-making process is also difficult. People tend to make more mistakes when making choices when information is limited.
What if artificial intelligence disappeared from our lives overnight? According to the BBC, in 1995 less than 1% of the world used the internet and it was so interesting to even think about a life connected to the internet… Now more than half of people are connected to each other! Returning to our question, what would happen to humanity? Apart from attacking economies, would the absence of artificial intelligence in our lives make us less “intelligent”, would we have to face our problems that we were not involved in the solution? Tell me, how would you go to a friend's house who just moved into a new house without Google Maps? How could you carry out your scientific research? How could you find the receipt of the new cutlery you bought? The list goes on and on… How much of what we have learned since artificial intelligence came into our lives would be left to us? We wouldn't go back to the primeval era, would we?
Only time can show us the effects of artificial intelligence on humanity; but if we want to move humanity forward in the best possible way, we must always be in control... We must think once again about the unforeseen consequences of artificial intelligence and the dangers it may bring.
Travel trends and new experiences in tourism
We all missed traveling to the fullest, going places without masks, tests, vaccinations, and quarantine, right? Tourism, which is one of the sectors most rapidly affected by the pandemic conditions, started to recover gradually due to factors such as the acceleration of vaccination studies, the increase in research on Covid-19, the greater importance given to hygiene, the development of technology and the weakening of the virus due to mutation.
Unlimited, unconditional and free travels, which we experienced before 2019 and longed for until today, seem to return to the field in 2022. With the gradual expansion of travel restrictions due to Covid-19 over the course of two years, millions of travelers from all over the world are holding their breath to create their new routes. Travel trends, like everything else, are reshaping and good surprises await us in 2022. Here are the 2022 travel trends that will determine our holidays, trips, getaways, long or one-day breaks this year:
**Extraordinary experiences: Home-swapping**
Home-swapping, which is the 'global house swapping' in its shortest definition, makes it possible to both gain different experiences and reduce accommodation costs. Love Home Swap, a home exchange platform, also states that they can observe that its members are increasing and home-swapping is quickly becoming a lifestyle. Think about it; Somewhere in the world, you are experiencing the life of a person you have never met before, at home… Quite unusual, isn't it?
**Nostalgic travels: Train journeys**
Does traveling by train make you feel as if you are in a movie frame or in the lines of a book? Train journeys, which allow us to enjoy nature, journey and unique experiences at the same time, and make us plunge into endless dreams while tinkling on the rails, are also among the travel trends of 2022. International rail transport companies state that routes have been created and reservations made from many different continents around the world for 2022. We are sure that there may be many people among us and within the borders of our country, waiting for the summer to create different routes by train journey...
**Meeting the green: Caravan travels**
It seems that many people who prefer to spend the summer months after the first restrictions by traveling by caravan instead of going to hotels or crowded holiday resorts will be new travelers who will join these preferences in 2022. Travelers, who want to both enjoy nature and get away from the crowds a little, seem to embark on brand new discoveries with their caravan trips in 2022...
**Both work and vacation: Workations**
Especially with the widespread use of the remote working system and the signal that it will continue to be implemented by many companies in 2022, many people who want to turn this situation into an opportunity have already started to choose places where they can take a vacation while working...
The concept of 'wellness', which has become very popular lately, when we understand the importance of not only physical health but also mental well-being, has also become the focus of millions of people in tourism. It's not just traveling, seeing new places, getting enough of the sea and the sun; At the same time, many people who want to go back to their essence and feel better prefer to travel to places with wellness centers.
Regardless of which trend you prefer, we wish you to go on vacations where you will travel more, gain new experiences and feel much better and happier this year...
Would we buy some happiness: Immerse yourself in the music
Today is World Happiness Day. We invite you to be happy or multiply your happiness every day, starting from today. How Does? Leaving yourself to the music…
“Music is food for the soul.” We all know the word. Well, is it really? Let's give you the good news then, music has an effect that is not only good for the soul, even good, but also brings happiness. Just as the author says, “Breakfast must have something to do with happiness.” He says, it is a fact that listening to music also brings happiness. Studies on depression and stress hint that when we listen to music, we activate the happiness hormone endorphin in the brain. It is not limited to this. Music also triggers the release of the hormone dopamine, which governs the reward and motivation mechanism in the brain. Even its effect on these two hormones proves that music adds happiness to our lives and reduces stress and anxiety.
**Natural remedy for depression**
Neuromusic, which examines the effects of music on the brain and central nervous system, is a concept that has managed to enter the medical literature and is used for treatment purposes. The Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Chinese, Ancient Egypt and Greeks used music as a treatment method, and even for Hippocrates, who is considered the father of medicine, music is almost like medicine. Let's follow in the footsteps of Hippocrates, albeit metaphorically. We can say that music acts as a natural antidepressant by increasing the serotonin hormone that decreases during depression. Then it is in your hands to relieve your depression by letting yourself go with the flow of the music.
**Up-tempo, rhythmic music increases social bonds**
Music also has social implications. Dance accompanied by music activates the hormone oxytocin. The increase in the level of oxytocin, the social bonding hormone, strengthens social life by strengthening feelings such as trust and bonding. Studies show that oxytocin increases the harmony between participants. Increasing oxytocin with music strengthens their ability to cooperate and bond by contributing to social interaction. So let's add some tempo to life and enjoy dancing.
**Pursuit of happiness on Spotify**
Spotify, the world's leading audio platform, must know the effect of music on happiness. Let's give this information. We all need happiness. So much so that there are over 11 million playlists on Spotify worldwide, with phrases such as happiness and happy in the title. We've said this much, so let's not get some happiness, shall we? On World Happiness Day, you can get a dose of happiness by listening to music.
