Have you ever heard a remarkable story about a farmer and a lawyer? A farmer named Angus from Newfoundland had an unfortunate car accident. He was hit by a truck belonging to the Eversweet Company. In the courtroom, the Eversweet Company’s lawyer interrogated Angus. “Didn’t you tell the police at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’?” the lawyer asked. Angus replied, “Well, let me tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow, Bessie, into the trailer…” “I’m not asking for details,” the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the question. Didn’t you say at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?” Angus said, “Well, I had […]
🌳 According to African legend, the Creator planted the baobab (the African baobab) in the valley of a river, but the tree was discontented with the moisture. So, the Creator transplanted the baobab to the mountainside, yet still, the tree remained unsatisfied. Angered by the tree’s constant complaints, the Creator uprooted the baobab and threw it onto the dry ground of Africa. Ever since, the baobab has grown with its roots reaching skyward. 🌳💦 The baobab is a tree that holds water within. A fascinating fact: The baobab is known as the thickest tree in the world, with its trunk reaching up to 9 meters in diameter, and the largest […]
Do You Believe in Coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidence! One summer day, Mr. Yüksel missed a ferry he had never missed before, on his way to a goose farm across the river. Unable to bear the scorching heat while waiting for the next ferry, he decided to postpone his plan to buy a few geese until the following day and headed back home. On his drive back, he encountered a flock of geese. Believing that following them would inevitably lead him to his destination, he started to trail them. With the geese leading the way, Mr. Yüksel ventured down the dusty village road. Eventually, they reached a […]

The Benefits of Hiking Every Week Repetition of good things is a necessity. Hiking is not just a lifestyle but a rediscovery of the joy of walking and a chance to closely observe the beautiful world we live in. Hiking outdoors is beneficial and leads to improved physical fitness. This holds true even for those with noticeable grey hair or those who need assistive devices for mobility. While it would be fantastic to hike every day, the demands of our current life rhythm impose constraints on location, time, and available spaces. A weekly hike is sufficient, but more frequent hikes would be better, as our bodies crave and need them. […]
How to Simplify Complex Thinking Reduce your obsession with seeking absolute certainty. One of the reasons our thinking becomes convoluted and circular is a strong desire to find the absolute truth or certainty about something. However, in this world, many things are relative, not black and white. Therefore, loosen your standards for seeking total truth and accept the presence of uncertainty. This way, your mind becomes more flexible and relaxed. Avoid having too many options. Have you ever heard of “the paradox of choice”? The more options you have, the harder it is to decide, and the more stressed your brain becomes. Instead of exhausting yourself by choosing, it actually […]
What is it that only you can do? 1. There are three kinds of people who speak the truth: children, the drunk, and the angry. 2. If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room. 3. Sometimes, those who wish to be part of your story are only characters for a single chapter. 4. Do not be swayed by sweet words; let your heart be moved by sweet efforts. 5. Life is ironic. To know happiness, you must know sadness; to savor silence, you need noise; to appreciate presence, you must experience absence. 6. Nothing feels as good as doing your work. 7. […]
Recently, I had the chance to talk to someone through Kora. It had been about a year and a half since our last conversation. As we reminisced about events from a year and a half ago, we found ourselves talking for nearly five hours. A sense of satisfaction, which I hadn’t felt in a long time, spread through my heart. The heaviness that once weighed down my spirit was lifted by this conversation. People change with opportunities and circumstances. Feelings are never constant; they shift according to the situation. What is precious today might be unnecessary tomorrow. What I once rejected and discarded might become essential after some time. The […]
What are some psychological hacks to find out if someone likes you? Of course, I have them. So, every problem has its tricks. The same goes for people who are interested in you. From my experience, here are a few small tricks. 1. Removing objects between you According to Psychology Today, when someone likes you, they will unconsciously try to eliminate small objects (like cups, bags, plates, cushions) between you to get physically closer. 2. Maintaining personal space Psychologically, people tend to lean towards someone they like and away from someone they don’t. 3. Observing foot direction One of the most powerful signs is the direction of their feet during […]
