Yes, I remind myself from time to time. Why?
-Makes me motivated: The life I live in my childhood dream. Age of 13, I promised myself to start a company in Silicon Valley and have friends/customers/users worldwide. I’m not doing this for something or someone else.
It keeps me motivated and driven.
-Makes me proud: I think my 13 years old who sees me today can say, “Well done, Aykut!, You came from a pretty long way. What a ride!”
I finally have everything I need. I’m good. It’s enough.
But, I want to keep growing and try new things. The more I try, the more I learn. And my knowledge, source, and connections can be helpful to people around me physically & virtually. That makes me proud.
