Path to Success
Ronya AKINCI
62
I know that the path to success is through knowing yourself well , improving yourself , and working tirelessly for what you aim for so I have always been a self-improving individual throughout my education life .
I aim to study software or artificial intelligence engineering at one of these prestigious universities such as MIT , Stanford , Yale or Harvard abroad . I took some people as role models to overcome the difficulties I encountered on my way to achieve my goals .
Thinking about Cemal Süreyya ’ s quote “ Life is short , birds fly ”, I made an intense effort to control time , which I am still working on and have partially succeeded . By thinking about the obstacles , complex thoughts , the past and the future that I face on the way to achieving my dreams , I realized that I need to control them instead of letting them affect me . By planning the time , I would start life one step ahead and either dominate time or dissolve into it . In dealing with the negative situations I encountered over time , I often resorted to breathing exercises such as mindfulness and at the same time playing musical instruments such as guitar and piano during these time periods helped me to relax mentally and I realized that these exercises helped me control my thoughts as well . The inner balance I achieved in this process increased my motivation to achieve my dreams .
If we listen to people and let them drag us down , we will never achieve our dreams . Many inventors , writers , authors , leaders who have left their mark on the world have achieved these successes by going through difficult paths .
