Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.
... what if I do not want to be skilfull anymore... it is really obsessive to be skilful and successful. it is because of being result-oriented rather than the process itself. the output is more valued by others, while the process is by you. If we do not care for the others and social perception etc. why are we so obssessed with the outputs.. it could be to an extent for the sake of ourselves. I am tired of trying harder and harder for anything. life makes you inevitably skillful. what if I do not want anymore...I do not claim that life should be easier but it could just be simplier. I am aware that I personally have an intention to complexify everything. I could not retain myself deepening them. I am instilling to myself that I could simplfy my way of perception, consequently things will go on simplier...
I want to sail on smooth seas... I cannot smoothen the sea but I can navigate the boat to an other road, if it is not drawn already.
In principle I quit computuring on the weekends; even not for emails, dvds, etc. so see till monday. byebye. I will be around Istanbul on the weekend.

Ho ho ho! Now you have a comment option!
Got your e-mail, but believe me, I am not the right person to ask. Selmin has become an expert for the last three years. She can help you whenever she is available. Actually, there is also a help! section in the "blogger.com". By scrolling down the FAQ list, maybe you can find the answer you are looking for.
Keep in touch more often.
Will keep reading your blogs on regular basis. You are under spot now. ;-)
Basak, way to go! It is such a good feeling to read how you feel, as if we are in the saem place! You can transform your blog by downloading a skin, and copy pasting it to "Template". But I think it is the content that matters, not the appearance. I will be in touch! Take care. Burning Girl
welcome to the cyberworld curly burly. i know what you're saying, living at the heart of result-orientedness. people just don't care about the process any longer since it doesn't translate into money.but you know what? forget about others and enjoy your life. i noticed life is too short to worry about people who don't have any depth. personally, i feel really happy to be able to talk to you guys again, this time on the net :-)
yes, being result-oriented is simply saying "it is the outcome that matters,not the intention", but I think intentions, and how you reach the outcome, is eqully important, even if there is no concrete result to measure, or a profit in the end. I have grown up a lot in these years, and the major sign of my maturity is that I have become more introvert; so to speak, I think my personal feelings, and what is going on in my life os for myself only to know; so regardless of what other people see as "my failures" and "my successes" etc, it is only me who know what really is going on. keep the good fight.
Oh, God! Every entry becomes more complex to digest. I repeat it again: why you women do talk that much complicated? Just kidding... That might be because I am in Peter the Shepherd's mood for the last couple of months [ref: Daglar Kizi Heidi] or a worse possibility: my brain is transforming to an engineer's... What I mean [I mean it]: Nice to hear from you all. Gang is reunited. ;-)
