Kendini Bil

Ne oldum ne olacağım değil de insan her şeyden önce neyim ve kimim sorularını sormalı bence kendine. Kendini tanımadan hayatını nasıl şekillendirebilirsin ki ? Yani yeteneklerini tanı ve onlarla neler yapabileceğini gör. Belki daha önce bunları çok kez okudun, duydun ya da ilk defa bunun hakkında düşünüyorsun. Fark etmez. Dön bak şimdi içine.

Gerçekte kimsin sen ? Nelerden hoşlanıyorsun ? Neleri yapmak seni mutlu ediyor ?Gerçekten ne istiyorsun ? Nelere sevmiyorsun ? Belki cevap alamayabilirsin belki de cevap yoktur. Olsun önemli olan korkmadan sormandır kendine tekrar ve tekrar cevap sana gelecektir belki de en beklemediğin anda. Bu yüzden pes etme asla sor o soruları tekrar çünkü ne kadar çoğumuz kendimizi bilmeye yaklaşırsak hayat hepimiz için daha iyiye doğru güzelleşecek ben buna inanmak istiyorum

Turkish Traditions

Turkish Tea

Turkish tea is not just a strong dark red brew served in a tulip shaped glass, it’s a tradition that revolves around hospitality. Wherever you go in Turkey, it’s traditional to be offered a cup of Turkish tea as a sign of welcome, whether you’re at someone’s home, a shop, or even the hairdresser.

Kına Gecesi (Henna Night)

A celebration among the bride and her female relatives and friends before the wedding, the Henna Night traditionally involves the application of henna on the bride’s hands.

Oil Wrestling

Oil wrestling is one of Turkey’s most traditional sports with roots that go all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia. During the famous Kırkpınar oil-wrestling tournament in Edirne, the wrestlers douse themselves in oil and then wrestle until a loser is declared . Oil wrestling matches can go on for up to 40 minutes . It can be quite captivating.

Nazar Boncugu (The Evil Eye)

One of Turkey’s most popular souvenirs, these blue eyes made of glass are actually meant to ward off the negative energy from someone’s eyes who feels envious of you. The evil eye is blue because according to superstition, blue eyes give off the most negative energy, and the glass eye is supposed to cancel it out.

Traditionally, Evil eyes are pinned onto newborn babies’ clothes as well as hung above doors in houses and businesses for protection against bad luck. When a baby is born, friends and family will often give it an evil eye for protection.
