I’m in San Diego for a couple of days. It’s my second time here. It’s quite surprising to see how big California and USA every time I leave Bay Area to go somewhere. I stay downtown area, and full of high rises and hotels are everywhere. I always think San Diego is a cute small Californian city by water and famous for UC San Diego. 

I asked google, “ how many people visit San Diego per year?”

The answer is average 35Million ( Pre-Covid Data)

For easier & better comparison is average people visit to Turkey is 50Million.

Again, I remind myself Bay Area is bubble , and we all think everything is mainly scope of Silicon Valley:) 

It’s ok, they are doing it because they don’t know the alternative way. Let it happen!

Make them feel they are ruling it. They are the leader, king, or whatever they feel it.

As long as you know what you are doing and why who cares the rest?

I don’t remember when was the last time I went to a movie theater. Probably late 2019 maybe even early 2019. Anyway, I wanted to give a try one of the luxury movie theaters nearby my house which was built right before the Covid-19.

I found out Tuesdays are the cheapest day. The movie theater was pretty full but still got a ticket last minute to watch “Everything everywhere all at once”. Some movies you can watch at home but this one is definitely made for movie theaters.

It was a quiet long one. But, the seat was quite comfortable. You can lay down and drink your favorite drinks and eat whatever food you want. Maybe, I’ll check once a while Tuesdays again to watch a movie.

She asked: “Why do you have so much stuff?”

He said: “Because I’m saving the day I need for it. 

They asked: “When is that day?”

Nobody answered…

Everything you need is a little bit of understanding from people around you.

You are doing all for them. But they think all you do for yourself. What else can you do?

People predict predictable events.

What’s next for you is not most likely what’s next you are thinking for

Everyone is busy with themselves. They saw your IG post, and they like your posts, tweets, or stories. They even comment on it. But, their mind is full of themselves.

And, this is great. They don’t have time for you.

Do you have time for them?

Don’t talk if you can act.

Make it visible and let others make the judgment Not You!

Feed your curiosity every day.

Don’t worry nobody fully understands you.

You ship the work and move on to the next one.

Whenever I drive, walk or hit the gym, I prefer to listen to podcasts than music. Music is fine when I really want to listen & enjoy it. Podcasts are one of my favorite way to acquire new knowledge & enjoy my free time.

Here are my favorite ones:

–Panic with Friends by Howard Linzon– Investing & Startups and more

-Plain English by Derek Thompson- Current world orders & economics

–Conversation with Tyler- Intellectual Convos with today’s deepest thinkers.

–Knowledge project by Shane Parish– Learn from others who already figured out.

–3books by Neil Pasricha– Great guests share their top 3 formative books in their life.

-The James Altaucher Show– Always interesting guests & crazy ideas.

Bonus: XYZ Podcast– My new turkish podcast. We chat about all about life & personal growth with my great friend Osman.

Some gyms offer no towels. Some of them one or max two towels same time.

The good ones don’t care about the towels. Use as many as you can. They try not to squeeze everything. They are here to provide the best services they can. Yes, they are 3-4x more expensive than others, but you never need to carry your own towels.
