Tips for 2015 from the Book entitled “the Experience of Being Myself, “K.O.D.“ (Kendim Olma Deneyimi in Turkish) : 30-41 / 100
- Visit your Elementary School and the neighborhood where you were grown. This way, you can refresh yourself.
32 Walk around the city under the first lights of the day. It will reveal its natural and make-up free face to you
- Visit the second-hand book sellers! You can meet a source or somebody that could transform you.
- Break the routine. A 2-night’s accommodation where you can be on your own would give you the energy you would need for the whole next month. During your stay, keep away, as much as possible, from your electronic identity (social media, e-mails, newspapers, tv, cellphone etc.) A bag-pack will be enough for you.
- For your travels, make use of scheduled flights that have been extended all over the country. Travel, see, and take photos. Touch & feel. Taste! You can make gourmand tours out of your one-day trips to Van, Mardin, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Siirt, Edirne, Çanakkale, Erzurum, Elazığ, Hatay, Muş, Adıyaman, Sivas, Balıkesir and Black Sea Region. You can rent car there.
- While in the traffic, you can listen your preferred music instead of radio stations. If possible, the volume of the music should be at such a level that would not prevent you from hearing the noise of your car’s motor. Otherwise, you could turn into a zombie, who does not take care of any warnings, driving blindly in the traffic.
- While driving, if you have to overtake the motorcycles ATVs or bicycles going just before you, signal appropriately, always keep at least 20 meters in between and leave a whole line to them and never push them towards pavements. See them as vehicles and respect their existence in the traffic. They are not protected and they also have a LIFE.
- You should absolutely carry a list of persons to be contacted in emergency situations, whether in your telephone or in your pocket. The content should be as follows: My name is …. My National ID Number: ….. My Address: ……. Since you are reading this note, I must be having an emergency situation. I thank you in advance for your help. If I am still alive, please take me to the …… hospital. Please inform Mr./Ms. ………. Please give information about the accident FIRSTLY AND URGENTLY TO ……… His/her telephone number: 0 533…. If you cannot reach to these persons, then please inform … My Blood Group is A Rh (+), I have the following health problems:…. I am using the following medicines. Such information could save your life.
- Pay attention to possible acts of violence, in general against all human beings, especially children, women, elderly; against nature, animals. Step in and take action against such violence with reason and care.
- The greatest mistake that you may commit in traffic is text messaging while driving. If you do this while you are drunk, in rainy weather, driving full speed, during night, while turning a corner and listening high volume music, this means you are committing suicide.
- Always be together with relatives, friends and associates on their occasion, first times and the last times: funerals, marriages, graduation, diplomas, promotions, accidents, diseases etc. You will also experience these situations one by one. Other special occasions not to be missed include birthdays, New Year’s Eve, wedding anniversaries and feasts.
