Dark Times 2, How To Not Give Up :)

I got my answers to my questions.. I believe in a very unexpected time, you can find the thing you were looking for, maybe you don't even know you're looking for it, but that was the missing thing in your life and mind or heart.. And you get it by a person you don't expect to hear, meet, etc.. with a music, quote, book, movie that gives you the power, energy and inspiration that you needed.

Steve Jobs is dead. I didn't know him so well, let's say I didn't know who he was.

Randomly I found that video.

And I got my answers..

His stories gave me power.

I wanted to do what I like to do. Rest of my life. With passion.

I didn't want to be someone else or someone else's someone.

I don't have an easy life, I'm doing a lot to live it in a way that I want.. I appreciate that: people who have everything and an easy life give up things easily and they are not that successful (some are great, cause the parent education). I see kids who have everything, their parents supply, and on the other hand someone like Steve Jobs who got his own life, followed his dreams and worked for it till death!

Here the video: maybe you already watched it, do it again! I couldn't keep my tears, and I thanked him a lot.. I'm sure it will help you, too.. Also, he is a great public speaker!

Oh, Turkish Girl's question was: specially when we start start something, change something, but in general when we follow our dreams, and make decisions, we met with a hole, dark hole, it takes you in, you question yourself, your goals, your purpose, and simply we lose our hope, belief and energy..what are we going to do when our belief shake?

Dark Times, How To Not Give Up :)

Oh my God, I was always wanted to go there. It's in Tailand I learned today :) So it's going to be in my to-do list now!
Dark times.. every single person have these times.. because of a friend, boyfriend girlfriend, boss, family.. financial, emotional .. especially when we start something new, a feeling poke us: did I do good to do that? A marriage, maybe leaving your corporate job and starting your own business, or leaving a country.. in that dark times, we lose our hope, belief and energy.. and that's the time we realize actually that's all we got. Only with that we can built armys, or save billions of peoples life..

That's why the people who believe their product and promote, the couple who believe their love and eachother, the man who believe pure God are the WINNER! Not the one who works only for money. Steve Jobs, I think he was a great believer! He believed what he was doing from heart, and I'm sure he had a lot of dark times which made him questioning if he was on the right path. And I'm sure he had his own system to get over that feeling to be more successful.

Still the question is here: what are we going to do when our belief shake? What does a ship do when it lost it's way in the ocean? I don't know the answer, but I can brainstorm:

  • We need a compass to show us our direction. That could be a well-prepared business plan, or our goals and dreams.
  • In The Quran first rule is READ. Well, that's the greatest rule ever: read. But we don't have a lot of time right? So we need to be picky and read something according to achieve our goals. It will help us to keep going in our direction. Or sometimes, to change our direction, too..
  • But also, write. You'll surprise a lot when you read what you wrote 1 years ago. And in these dark times, you can go back and read, and remember why you did that.  For example: you divorced from your partner, and you feel weird because you remember the good times.. you think maybe that was a mistake to divorce, and now you're lonely. You don't have friends who support you, etc.. If you had written what happened before, and how you were unhappy, you'd be glad to be divorced.
  • Same example: If you write what happens at work, if you're living some bad days with your colleague or boss or partner, two months later when you decide to talk with someone, or quit your job, you'll remember what you had to live. Because we humans FORGET! We forget things. Good or bad. 
  • Read.
  • Write.
  • Maybe you were really wrong, when you read you'll realize how stupid you were :) haha. hope not. But if that happens that's good to realize and change. 
  • Look at the moon. Look at the buildings, sea, ocean, sun..Look at the people. They are all living in their life, everyone think they are the only one in the world. Just for few minutes think and feel you're a little tiny part of the big picture, universe. That will give you a power if you have a direction on your life. Otherwise, you'll feel weak.. and desperate..
  • Follow your instincts. (I'm not comfortable to say that. Because some instincts are killing, abusing, etc.. I believe everybody have an angel and devil inside themself. We make a decision in our behaviors to choose the good or bad. But please don't insult devil. Or don't praise angels. It's us. We chose to do that. Consciously. So, when I say follow your instincts I mean the good side. What makes you happy, and satisfied, you know better than others. Follow your instincts.)
  • Message your old friends, ask how they are and if you can help them with something. Maybe they are in their dark times, that will make their day.
  • Don't be tired to meet new people. You never know who they will become in your life. Just look at the opportunities. Listen, and share.
Wish you luck! And don't forget we create our luck. Just look for it! =)

Turkish Girl, Animals, St. Francis Day & Manhattan

Well, I was late, had to enter as a press.. Don't ask how..

My favorite animals there. Aren't they beautiful?! I love love them..
My second best! Baby kangaroo. The softest thing ever.. and baby...

The guy told that nobody wanted to carry the rat, but he thought it's NYC's animal cause everywhere are rats!

That's a fox+something. Cute. :)


Papa? Priest? I don't know.. but probably he and his team organized the event.  Good job!

What else can I do between the press? :)


Camel in the cathedral. 


Great dancers! Christopher Caines Dance Company!

My first reaction I screamed. Then I said: I have to touch it. Because I'm scared from this gorgeous animal. And I did. :)

This kid was psychic. psychopath. he disturbed the snake a lot!

Baby puppy..

I love goats!

Gross?! I don't know why I don't like pigs? It was the first time I heard the pig sound. But I just left.  Annoying.  Not interesting. At all!

Haha! I don't know what it is! :) cool! I love him, too! :) maybe her..

She bite the ring :) and didn't let it go for a while.. 



cute little girl



St Francis Day in Manhattan! :)

beautiful mommy and baby..

A talking papagan! =)

When You Wake Up...

If you have a headache, pain in muscles, sick in stomach, you can't drink or eat anything otherwise you give them back to the earth.. You don't remember so much about last night, but you check your text messages that you've sent some people, and they are not nice... That's what called hangover: it sucks! It takes 5-24 hours to get better physically. So, I'll give a list how to avoid this terrible, awful sickness feeling which ruin your great night, and morning, and day:

  1. Before drinking, don't be hungry. With an empty stomach it's not a good idea. Although you drink only 2 glass of wine, you'll feel bad, bad, bad..
  2. If you're planning to drink a lot, eat something with olive oil (or drink it :p), it'll protect your stomach wall.
  3. Do not mix different kind of drinks: tequila, wine, vodka, beer.. Start with one kind, and finish with one.
  4. In the morning, caffeine will help you to feel better (cure you): coffee, yea, but Red Bull is the best.
  5. It doesn't matter if you're a female or male, get wasted with someone you trust.
  6. Any limit? Well, there is not such a thing like more alcohol more fun. Science tells us, if we drink more, we are not us anymore, and it's not fun anymore either. It's a sickness. Keep it balanced..
  7. Do not lose the control. Enjoy your time.
Any more suggestions? And do you have interesting stories about hangover? :) Write in the comment box!

Dreams, but the bad one..

A man was hitting a woman. I was hearing the sound of the woman begging to not hit to her ears, and I was running to stop him.. I was running so fast, but not enough fast, I was not seeing anything because they were in a room. And he was fast. The woman was crying.. When I had a view at last, I saw his face, angry, and punching like a boxer, very professional and fast; he lost himself.. And I knew I was late.. :((

That's the nightmare I saw today. I woke up with this desperate feeling and anger, my heart was beating so fast. I knew it was just a bad dream but I also knew that was happening somewhere in the world that moment, every second..

A lot of women are abused from their husbands, fathers, brothers.. And if their neighbors, family members hear anything about that, THAT'S OKAY. That's the normal thing. Women also accept that this is their destiny, or something like that.

I want to curse that looser people who use their physical power to hit the less stronger one. You are so weak. Mothers who hit their kids, men who hits the women, soldiers who hit the civil, human who hit the animals. I don't have enough words to tell. This video is nice. I didn't know every year 1400 women die, I think it's just in USA.
