My Motto

Be compassionate to the needy, Neither squander wealth nor hoard it. Never lose your sense of shame, if questions are asked of you, answer them frankly but do not ask too many yourself. Be manly and of good cheer. Never kill a foe who is begging for mercy and be ever loyal in love

Own your own way

Do Not Go Where The Path May Lead, Go Instead Where There Is No Path And LEAVE a TRAIL ....

THE OLD NATIVE AMERICAN



The old native american was sitting in the front of his old cabin with his grandchild and they were watching the dogs which were fighting each other. One of the dogs was white and the other was black. The twelve years old boy knew that these dogs were there since he was born.

Those were the two giant dogs that the grandfather always kept with himself  and the grandchild thought that just one dog was enough to protect the cabin and he was wondering why his grandfather was keeping these two dogs and also he wanted to know the reason why all these dogs had to be in any case black and white.
he curiously asked to his grandfather. The old chief man smiled and stroked his grandchild's back with a wisely smile. "They" he said: They are two images for me. "Whereof" the child asked. They are the symbols of spitefulness and benevolence. Goodness and deviltry always struggle one another  like those dogs you see. I always think on this again and again whenever I watch them, I keep with me  because of this reason. The child said that if there is a struggle, there must be a winner and asked another of his everlasting questions " Well, which one of them wins the battle ?" The sage chief sighed and and answered to his grandchild with a sincere glance; "Which one, huh , The one which I feed more.

THE MORE WE REFRESH OUR OPTIMISTIC AND SPIRITUAL SIDE THE LESS WE LEAN TO EVIL AND THE MALIGNITY CAPTURE US

...
Üzülme, dert etme can.
Görebiliyorsan, dokunabiliyorsan, nefes alabiliyorsan,
yürüyebiliyorsan ne mutlu sana.
Elinde olmayanları söyleme bana.
Elinde olanlardan bahset can.
Üzülme.
Geceler hep kimsesiz mi geçecek?
Gidenler dönmeyecek mi?
Yitirdiğin her ne ise; bir bakarsın yağmurlu bir gecede veya bir bahar sabahında karşına çıkmış.
Bil ki, güzellikler de var bu hayatta.
Gel Git’lerin olmadığı bir hayat düşünebilir misin?
Hüzün olgunlaştırır,
Kaybetmek sabrı öğretir.
