Welcome mortal friends. May 11 is my birthday, thanks for heart-felt good wishes. 30 is coming closer and I lie if I say I do not care but I know I am more handsome with my gray hair. I needed some guideline to move forward with the life. Some rules to hit the life head on brutally. Used some wisdom and gathered together some rules. This list most likely will be expanded as I am getting older.

(This is slightly extended version of my rules from my book Happy Anyways Available in Turkish now, in English before the end of 2022)

1. Read as many books as you can.
2. There is absolutely no alternative to hard work. If you don’t feel smart, fill this gap by trying harder than anyone else. Time and effort are in your hands.
3. Life is tough. Be a real human and embrace the challenges with your full heart. No one promised you a rose garden.
4. Life has no meaning and that does not prevent you from having one.
5. You are thrown into this world without your permission. Do not try to get everyone’s permission while you are trying to do something.
