Often you must turn your stylus to erase, if you hope to write anything worth a second reading. – From: Satires
Nerdesin?
Uçsuz bucaksız denizler
sana haykırıyordu hep, nerdesin?
Gün doğarken güneş bile
seni arıyordu, nerdesin?
Yağmur yasıma iştirak ediyordu
damlalarda senin hasretin vardı, nerdesin?
Gelen geçen, küçük büyük
kah alaylı, kah mahzun seni soruyordu, nerdesin?
Bir gün daha kapanıyordu yarı ızdırap, yarı ümitle
insanlar girdaba sürükleniyordu, nerdesin?
Yine kasvetli bir geceydi mezarlıkta
bir yaratık kendi kendine soruyordu, nerdesin?

Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.

Shakespeare (1564-1616)
I always feel happy. Do you know, why? Because, I expect nothing from anyone. Expectations always cause a hurt. Life is short. Therefore, love life. Be happy and continue to smile. Live only for yourself and; – Listen before you talk, – Think before you write, – Earn before you spend, – forgive before you pray, – feel before you hurt someone, – Love before you hate, – Try before you give up, – Live before you die. Such is life. Feel it, live it and like it.

Steven Paul Jobs (1955-2011)
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
