Right Way to Follow

Isn ’ t life a test itself ? That ’ s why it is normal to experience both success and failure . However , most significantly , when we fail or make a mistake , we should learn from it as much as possible . Yes , these may sound as a cliché to you . But please trust me , if you learn from your mistakes , they will help a lot in the future . We can think of failures like a route correction . As we know , life is not fair . Some people consider bad experiences as a slap of this life but some people may get benefit from these bad experiences . It is all about point of view .
So , I mean that ; don ’ t be afraid to get inspired by other people . Most great people reach their position by being inspired by others , examining their experiences , and taking advice from their successes and failures . Who knows , maybe you , could become a great person like them by following these paths .
Of course , experiences in general may be the best teacher but they don ’ t need to be yours . You can learn from others ’ successes or failures — for example , your family , friends , teachers or idols . You can read your idol ’ s biography or watch interviews . In this way , if you are planning to follow that person ’ s path , I mean if you are going to do the same job , this will help you a lot .
For example , just think about Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK . He became a hope and inspiration to many people with his countless achievements . Today everyone follows his footsteps and continues to do so . He didn ’ t give up . He didn ’ t regret his choices . I think ATATÜRK is one of the most important characters you can take as an example .
