You always have time to read books and do research!
Although the sources differ, Mustafa Kemal read an average of 4000 books throughout his life. When we say reading, we are not talking about a blind reading, we are talking about a reading by questioning, underlining and interpreting! We are talking about a person who reads and researches even at the front 🙂 If you can’t find time to read, it’s time to review yourself on time management!

Do Studies on Foreign Language Learning!
Advanced French and English, speaking and understanding German and Arabic! If someone knew 2 of these 4 languages right now, they would have a great career! One of the factors underlying Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s success was that he knew a foreign language and brought a global perspective to events by constantly reading foreign sources. When we think that there were no foreign language courses in the first quarter of the 1900s and the war was active, it was quite difficult to learn a language. How about putting some effort into learning a foreign language, which now has courses even on our mobile phones?

Some of the diseases of our age; To win quickly, to rise without effort, and to live without a virtuous life! It is true that the success achieved with a moral collapse will be short-lived and will cause heavy losses in the long run. One of the most important issues for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was to work hard and to carry out these works with a sense of morality! Working hard and living your life in a moral way may be difficult at this time, but your peace of mind will give you a lot in the long run!
Follow Your Dreams
The idea of the Republic had appeared in Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s mind in youth ages. The books he read in his youth and the conversations he had with his surroundings also fed this idea. In fact, think of it this way, an empire in its last years, no financial means, no manpower, and your dream is a democratic secular republic! This dream, which seemed impossible under the conditions of that day, was realized by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. If we adapt it to today’s Turkey, in the current economic, socio-cultural and educational system, it is like making a vehicle to go to the planet Mars and creating life forms there! Follow your dreams and be stubborn. If Mustafa Kemal Atatürk had not been stubborn and gave up, he would never have achieved the success he had achieved.
