MY IDENTITY
IS
MY SUPER POWER
Naime-Turkey
Turkish, Jewish, Asian, European, White, Black... Certain are words used by most of us to identify
or identity. But these are just labels and people are more than labels. We create our identity, we
choose our identity. Our religion, our language, our race, or others don't provide them. It‟s our
identity that makes us who we are. What we know, what we don't know, what we say, what we do,
our behaviors. That is what matters.
Most of us don‟t know where Albert Einstein from but we know how great physicist he is. Most
of us also don‟t know Frida Kahlo‟s religion but we know how gifted painter she is. They are
remembered and known with their legacy, in other words, their true identity, not their ethnic origin
or something.
End of the day you are what you do. Our identity is our superpower. We can be a superhero or we
can be a villain. So which one are you gonna choose?
