It’s not a contest – Ege C.S.

Ege is reforming, evolving and changing. He is aware that there is no mold that he cannot fit into and he feels the confidence of this awareness,  in every cell of his body. It’s not a contest, but Ege has his eyes on the victory. “I am sure I have not one but thousands of milestones. Almost every day, I learn something new and give up on what I knew before. I develop, evolve and continue my life by adding something new to myself.” With his positive outlook, Ege is determined to turn even his losses into achievements. “I believe that losing only lead to a bigger win. So even a loss is a gain for me at some extent.”

What was the turning point for you?

I am sure I have not one but thousands of turning points. Almost every day I learn something new and give up my old knowledge. I develop, evolve and continue my life by adding something new to myself.

How did you realise what you want to be in life, how much do your professional decisions match your personality?

I realised what I want to be in life when I realised that I enjoy what I do – my work – and that I do it with happiness, even when I am fainting from exhaustion. If what you do makes you feel that you are alive and gives you a sense of satisfaction, you have understood what you want to be in life.

What does the future mean to you?

The future makes me feel how beautiful life is and that I am living it. Thinking that I will be in a completely different future than the future I have planned, where events that never even crossed my mind will take place, excites me and connects me to life.

How much space do the feelings of winning and losing occupy in your life?

I think that losses only lead to a bigger gain. So even a loss is a gain for me at some point. Stay Positive!

What can you describe yourself as a ‘winner’ when it happens?

If I can look back a long time later and say ‘I have lived this life’ and there is nothing left that I wish I had done at the time, in short, if I am fully satisfied with the life I have lived, I define myself as a ‘winner’.
