Dönüşen lider olabilmek için felsefeye ihtiyaç var. Felsefenin kelime anlamı bilgelik sevgisidir. İhtiyacımız dönüşen lider değil bilgelik, bilge liderliktir. Felsefe yapmayan, yapmamakla öğünen felsefesiz…
“Bir şirketin sadece iki temel fonksiyonu vardır: Pazarlama ve İnovasyon. Pazarlama ve inovasyon sonuçları üretir, geri kalan her şey maliyettir. ” (1973) Peter Drucker (1909
İbrahim sözü alıp aslında Türkiye’nin ne yerli ne de yabancı ek üniversitelere gereksinmesi olmadığını, yerine düşünür ve her konuda soru sormaya hazır gençler yetiştirmek için bilhassa özel sektör tarafından ve kâr amaç gözetmeksizin kurulacak eğitim kurumlarına büyük ihtiyaç olduğu üzerine kısaca bir diskur verdi. Dinleyenlerin yüzlerindeki ifadeyi bugün bile hatırlarım; sanki bu kadar radikal görüşlü bir adam nasıl olmuş da ülkede profesör olmuş der gibi!..
İbrahim Hoca’nın herkesçe bilinen kıvrak zekası ve vizyonerliği..
Hocamızı kapıda karşıladık ve hemen sohbete başladık. Saatlerin nasıl geçtiğini anlamadım. Sohbet değil müthiş bir öğreti idi. Yöneticiler için MBA programı öneriyordu. Öğrenmede “merak” ve “hikâyenin” önemini vurgulayıp, dersleri nasıl tasarladığını anlattı. Öğrenirken gülümsemenin akılda kalıcılıkla ilişkisini anlattı. Anlatırken karikatür çiziyordu. Tüm konuları “case”lerle kurguluyordu. Gerçekten, dünyadaki rakiplerinden de çok ama çok farklıydı. Müthiş bir vizyon, inanılmaz bir yaratıcılık…
İbrahim Hocamız tam da bizim aradığımız bir konuşmacıydı, CV’sini okuduğumda hayranlık uyandırmıştı. Bu etkinliğimize gelmemesinden korkarak konuk konuşmacı olarak davet ettik, nezaket gösterdi, davetimizi kabul etti. Yaptığı konuşması ve vizyonu ile özel okul yöneticilerinde ve öğretmenlerde farkındalık yaratmıştı yani eğitime dokunmuştu, etkinliğimiz de amacına ulaşmıştı (Mekanı cennet olsun!)…
Sizlere onun vizyoner kişiliğinden bahsetmeyeceğim. Muhtemelen hepiniz onu benden çok önce tanıdınız, çok daha iyi tanıyorsunuz. Bugün ülkemizin içerisinde bulunduğu siyasi ve ekonomik şartlar hakkındaki görüşlerini 2000 yılında basılan “Değişim ve Yaratıcılık” isimli kitabın 107. sayfasında bulabilirsiniz….
Vakıf Vizyonu, 2005
İbrahim Kavrakoğlu, benim şu anda Onursal Başkanı olduğum Kültür Bilincini Geliştirme Vakfı’nın Mütevelli Heyeti üyesiydi, eşi Füsun Kavrakoğlu ile birlikte. Müthiş bir vizyona, yoğun çözümleyici düşüncelere sahipti. Eşiyle birlikte zaman zaman yaptığımız her sohbetten zenginleşerek ayrılırdım. Mükemmel bir gezgin olan Füsun Hanım’la gezdiğimiz yerler hakkında konuşurken o akıl almaz yeni bilgilerle bize katkıda bulunurdu. Ama bir keresinde Vakıf’ta gündemli bir toplantı yaptık, Vakfın çalışmaları üzerine. İnanılmaz bir konu hakimiyetiyle bize şaşırtıcı bir gelecek programı çizmişti. Kuruluşlar hakkında çok bilgiliydi, onu biliyorduk, ama özelde vakıflar hakkında da şaşırtıcı bir bilgiye sahipti. Fiziksel ve mali nedenlerle onun dediklerini hayata geçiremedik. Ama cümleleri hala aklımda. İbrahim Hoca’nın bir de böyle vakıfçılık yanı vardı. Eğitim dünyamız ve sanayi alemi için büyük bir kayıp. Işıklar içinde yatsın…
God of the Ocean in Turkic, Mongolian and Altai mythology. Also called Dalay Khan. He is responsible for the oceans and seas. He lives at the confluence of 19 seas. He rules the seas and oceans. He protects the creatures in them. He looks like a well-built man with long white hair and beard. He can take the form of a giant fish (whale) when he wants. He decides the rise and fall of the seas (tides). The first word of the title Dalai Lama (Dalai Blama), given to the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism), which has a close relationship with Mongolian Buddhism, has passed from Mongolian to Tibetan and means Ocean. It is used to describe wisdom and compassion as vast as the ocean.
Etymology
It derives from the root (Tal/Dal). Talmak comes from the verb to dive. It has the meanings of depth, depth, infinity. The word Talaz means wave. Taluy or Daluy means ocean.

Being content with little is the teacher of all wisdom and creates the most beautiful thoughts for us . Sophocles, (Anthologia Stobaiou)
It is wisest to think twice about a thing . Euripides, Hippolytus
The most necessary thing in every army is unity of will and thought , only this will ensure superiority and defeat the enemy. Aesop
Not once did the bird come to life and ask: “Why did you light up?” And I have never asked myself: “Why did you shoot?”, or suffered from a pang of conscience or anything like that. On the contrary – at such moments a person falls into a completely different state of absent-mindedness, from which even thought is carried away. During the hunt, the thought does not have to move anyway, it can be said that the hunter is memoryless, where only passions and the eternal desire to be the ruler of the world, the owner of all its treasures, keep him on his feet. Yordan Radichkov, The Ibis Bird
The Ottoman army had mobilized, and there were a lot of false rumors. On the other hand, there was something that bothered people more than the Ottoman army. And that was the words Balkans and Balkanlı. Before the Turks had even set foot in the region, they had baptized the peninsula and its inhabitants with these words, so much so that this word had stuck to their backs like new scales on an old reptile. The local people couldn’t get out of this situation. They struggled to get rid of this word, but the result was the opposite. The word Balkanlı was sticking to their backs more and more tightly, as if it wanted to replace their own skin. And now, torn apart, they realized something else: they had never given the peninsula they lived on a name before. Some of them tried to call it “Illyricum”, but others immediately rose to establish the name “New Byzantium”, then others wanted to name it “Alpania” because of the Albanian Alps, and still others wanted to establish the name Great Slavonia, derived from the word Slav. But it was too late to think about this , and those who were to defend the region, as it was now, would go to war without a common name, and even with the name imposed on them by the enemy, and would suffer defeat. Ismail Kadare, Three Elegies for Kosovo
Those who embark on a task without thinking it over first not only fail to do it, but also make everyone laugh at them. Aesop
My teachers, Milan Resetar, Jozef Jirecek, Wilhelm Jeruzalem, Oskar Evald, Jozef Klem, taught me that knowledge is everything and that ignorance breeds bigotry and darkness of thought . Danilo Kiş, Oud and Scars
Lucky is the one who deals with science, who tires himself, who researches. He does not think of harming his fellow citizens, he never reaches for injustice. He looks at the endless order of nature, he never takes his eyes off it, he asks where and how this universe came into being. Such a person is clean, spotless, he is far from evil and suspicion in all his work. Euripides, Fragment
Bosnia cannot tolerate certainty. Somehow, it is looking for someone who is multi-national and multi-religious, and who is not hindered by this diversity. Neither churches nor cathedrals are an obstacle for us. We have learned to live with people who think and feel differently, and we consider this our superiority. Alija Izetbegovic
Despite the thought that everyone would soon abandon the construction of this windmill, Dıbak and Korçan continued to work. The slashes of their sharp axes and the full blows of their adzes could be heard throughout the village all day long. They were completely absorbed in the thought of this great work , they did not feel sorry for their labor, they did not feel tired, they did not rest. They worked from morning to evening, in the long summer days, under the rays of the burning sun that dried the sweat on their faces, taking off their shirts and not leaving the tools in their hands. They devoted themselves to their work, they did not even speak. Elin Pelin, Windmill
And we all reach conclusions according to our experiences. Personally, I think that our childhood is the most important period of our lives . Wherever a person reaches in his life, he can find an explanation for this in the conditions of his upbringing and his childhood situation. Childhood is the seed from which mankind grows. The world grows with children. Aliya Izetbegovic
Even when I am sad, I do not stop thinking . That is what keeps me alive and makes me human. Philemon, (Anthologia Stobaiou)
A part of our existence belongs to our country; a part to our parents; another part to our friends… If our country calls us to do state affairs, would it be appropriate to refuse? Besides, if we do so, we would be leaving our place to worthless people who never think of good when they enter state affairs . Plato, Epistolary
If the citizens think that they must spend everything in a frenzy , that they must devote all their efforts to love-making, and that they must occupy themselves with nothing but eating and drinking, no law, however good, can bring peace to a state. Plato, Epistolary
In reality, no one felt the pleasure of rest as much as Salih Yaşar. As soon as he arrived home, he would sit on the bench outside, drink his coffee, light cigarette after cigarette, and rest, staring at the plain across from him. As the fatigue drained from his body with a pleasant shiver, he would think of nothing but rejoice in the view before his eyes. Yordan Yovkov, The Song of the Wheels
I was born as a member of my people who have lived for centuries on the great border, at the intersection of worlds, feeling a sense of belonging to both; Western in mind and thought , Eastern in spirit and emotion. Therefore, my belief is that while serving Islam and Muslims, I am also serving all sensible people. Aliya Izetbegovic
Is there no friendship on earth other than the tavern friendship where everyone pays their own bill? Doesn’t a person feel the same joy in giving and taking? “So why do we fall in love with a man, a complete stranger, sometimes even a stranger with whom we disagree? Why do we begin to love this person so much that we can’t live without him? You look into his eyes, they are the same as yours, and there you see the infinity of your own desires. You want to take his blazing face in your hands and press it to your chest for a long time. And you can hardly keep yourself from leaning your cheek, sometimes your forehead that is burning like fire, on his hands that lie on the table like the big paws of a lovely dog. Because this kind of love is an unquenchable torch that defies all the storms of life, nourished by the oil that God created without thinking any evil . Panait Istrati, Mihail (Friend)
Unity of thought creates friendship. Democritus
When we say we will be friends with someone, we will unite with him, think about whether he can help us in times of danger or not . Aesop
Consider that those who are truly friends are not only those who grieve at their misfortunes, but also those who do not envy their happiness . Isocrates, Pros Demonikon,
It is beautiful to believe in the absolute truth of one’s thoughts and actions. To consider oneself as a measure for all things. To value nothing that is unknown or different from oneself. But without the deep doubts that weigh down the brain and dry up the throat, we are nothing more than insignificant beings who think we are something. And the sacred thought that we avoid is of no importance. Miro Gavran, Clara
It is possible for the young to be wise and the old to be foolish; it is not time that teaches thoughtfulness , but the education and temperament of the time. Democritus
Lycurgus was of the opinion that the greatest and most beautiful work of the lawgiver was education . Plutarch, Bioi Parallelou (Lycurgus)
Those who neglect their education fail to understand that the consequence of this is that they are unable to think properly . Isocrates, Peri Eirenes
The bow that is always strung breaks easily… The soul needs a little fun to think well when necessary. Phaedrus
Neither the bright gold that mortals can scarcely find in their hopeless lives; nor the jewels, nor the silver beds that men so value; nor the fields where the heavy ears of grain grow of themselves in the wide plains; they are not as bright as the thoughts of the virtuous . Plato, Epistolary
Calmness is a beautiful thing, boldness is deceptive.
Be moderate in good fortune, moderate in bad luck Periander of Corinth
Not to have evil thoughts : This is the greatest gift of God. Aeschylus, Agamemnon,
Look for the friend in the enemy. Get rid of hatred, contempt, and humiliation. Do not be angry because you suffer; suffering is what creates you. Go to meet Erde without thinking about your body for a moment . Smile at the contradictions and oppositions. Be kind to others as you are to yourself. When death calls you, do not be offended that it has come early; be aware of the fact that everything is best when it is right. Reach nothingness without a single regret. Then you will be a better person in your next life. Miro Gavran, Clara
If you want to be better than others, think about them . Fight your mistakes without complaining. Don’t rush and take it slow – take your steps in harmony with the world, and you will discover virtue in every move. Miro Gavran, Clara
Come, then, let us add the rest of Asia to the lands you already possess, and make a small addition to your conquests! If we thought that this was enough , and lived in comfort in Macedonia, and only guarded our homes, and did nothing except prevent the incursions of the Thracians, Tribalians, and even the disturbing Greeks, into our borders, what a glorious and noble deed we would have been. Alexander the Great
He was a young man with blond hair, his lovely big blue eyes gave his face a different beauty. He was single, and it was as if he never thought of getting married . In the village, it was very difficult for a person to get married after the age of thirty. He was a good womanizer in his time, an enviably lively young man, and he was also unmatched in horon dancing. But after ten years of wandering around Vlashko land with carpenters and earning money, he returned to his village calm and collected, and repaired the watermill, the only legacy he had left from his father. He started living there. Elin Pelin, Windmill
There was something that made him resemble these people, though. Like every blacksmith, he was solid and strong, but at the same time he was a kind-hearted, calm and prudent man. He spoke little, but he spoke clearly, intelligently and with measure. Those who listened always thought that there was something else hidden in his eyes that remained unspoken. It was as if another blacksmith, who worked like him and forged iron like him, was hidden inside Salih Yaşar. This second man was not visible, the spark and flame of this inner fire shone only in Salih Yaşar’s thoughtful eyes. Yordan Yovkov, The Song of the Wheels
To claim that there is no difference between beauty and ugliness is to be ungrateful and naive… This is the thought of those who do not know the nature of things and think that if they hear this difference they will be dragged away and destroyed . It is not possible to escape from beauty by ignoring it. It is necessary to know it and to endure it. Epictetus
If each of us had fought against those who do injustice with all our heart, thinking that the injustices that occur will turn against us , and if we had cooperated closely among ourselves as citizens, the evil that comes from those with bad intentions would perhaps not have become so fierce. Menandros, [Anthologia Stobaiou]
… if you will only let night follow each day without thinking of pain , it will give you all the pleasures. Euripides, Heracles
In everything you do, think carefully about what will happen and what will follow before you start , and then start working. If you do not follow this path, you will initially enjoy every action, because you did not plan what would follow. But when the disgrace shows itself in the end, you will be filled with shame. Epictetus
The spring sparks rising from the earth and water were slowly covering his whole being, igniting and confusing his emotions. It was giving him thoughts mixed with a kind of intoxication . Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina
This has nothing to do with the religion of the Nemseli, Müderris Efendidi!..he said. They do this for their own benefit. They do not spend their time in vain and have fun. Even when they sleep, they always think about their work . We cannot see it yet, but we will see it soon. The late Şemsi Bey used to say, “The fuse of the Nemseli bomb is long.” How right he was. I think their purpose in numbering the houses is to impose a new tax. Or they intend to recruit soldiers. İvo Andriç, Drina Bridge
Molla Ibrahim was famous in his circle for his generosity and good-heartedness. In every aspect, there was a sense of gentleness, deep peace and tranquility. When you met him, you forgot both his stuttering and his appearance. He attracted the sick, the troubled and the poor. They would come to him from even the most distant villages to seek his advice. There was never a shortage of people waiting for him in front of his house. Women and men who wanted to seek his advice would often block his path. He would never turn anyone away empty-handed. He did not sell expensive amulets and prayers like other clerics. When he wanted to talk to someone, he would sit on the first stone he came across, in a shady spot, and wait for the man to tell him his troubles in a low voice. Molla Ibrahim would listen to him with great attention and compassion, finally say a few sweet words to him and always find the most appropriate solution. Sometimes he would put his hand in his robe pocket and, making sure that no one would see, he would slip a few coins into the man’s palm. Since he was always busy with other people’s troubles, he had no time to think about himself. He believed that his life, approaching a century, was always spent in health, happiness and prosperity. Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina
Those who are experienced in life and know history often think that fate was unfair to this woman by giving her such a mean and narrow field of work. If she had not fallen into such a place and had not been in such a job, what would this woman, who managed a provincial hotel and emptied the pockets of the rich and the dissolute with such cunning, who was as self-sacrificing as she was ambitious, as honest and cold as she was beautiful and charming, have not done! Who knows, perhaps she would have become one of those famous women in history who managed the destinies of great families, palaces, states and always dragged everything towards the best. Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina
If women look at their nails while talking, it means they are not speaking as they think . Azem Shkreli, The Eyes of Eve
Woman is more ardent for evil thoughts than man. Little speech is the adornment of woman. Democritus
The people he met on the road, after greeting him respectfully, looked at his face in surprise and thought that Salih Yaşar’s heart was troubled by grief and that if he was rushing home at this moment, it was not to rest but to be alone with himself and his thoughts . Yordan Yovkov, The Song of the Wheels
Tule was a conceited person. She had a habit of smiling at men and thinking that they were not worthy of her. When she fought against the desire that burned inside her, the pride that arose from this thought , Tule looked even more beautiful. She liked to blush when men complimented her. She made them crawl on the ground, she treated them like worms – they trembled with excitement before her. After all this, she advised them to win the favor of another girl. She also advised them not to bow down to the ground in front of the women they admired, because women are cruel to those who are unhappy in love. Azem Shkreli, The Eyes of Eve
When you discover what comes after happiness, you no longer long for happiness. Forgive those who do wrong, if the wrong is unintentional, if the wrong is unintentional, if the wrong is not their fault, but if it is intentional, it is unnatural and deserves pity. Do not torture your body with long thoughts and your mind with hard physical efforts. Do not despise your past, your mistakes were necessary. Miro Gavran, Clara
Think about what you do . Listen a lot, speak appropriately. Bias of Priene
It is the characteristic of a slave not to say what you think of when you have to speak . Mousonios, (Anthologia Stobaiou)
Sometimes what is fearful is also good, it should sit as a watchman in the heart and wait; it is useful to be thoughtful in difficult situations . Aeschylus, Eumenides
The farm laborer, who had come from the threshing floor, was standing next to the boy, up to his armpits in the water, holding him under his chest with both arms, despite the pile of stones at the bottom. So that he would not be sad, so that he would not think of his fear , the man did his best to talk. It did not matter what he said, the important thing was to talk, to say what came to his mind, not to be silent no matter what: not even for a second, because the boy would immediately start crying. Yordan Radichkov, Hot Noon
Whoever thinks evil of another, it will surely come back to him. Pausanias, Periegesis tes Hellados,
We are simple people, sir, they call us in high tones. You think so , but in reality it is not so. Our peasants are cunning out of ignorance. Actually, out of ignorance and poverty. Elin Pelin, Andreshko
A person should feel relieved by comparing his life with that of those who are in a worse situation and consider himself happy by thinking that he is in a better situation and job than them, considering what they have suffered . Democritus
Some people… when asked for advice, do not say what they think but say the opposite of what they feel, trying to understand what kind of answer the person asking for advice would like. Plato, Laches
Sometimes death was ready next to the bed, sometimes somewhere inside him, in his chest, in his lungs, in his blazing brain.
But there, that morning, a calmness had settled over him, we did not know why or how. He had accepted the unacceptable: that everything was over for him, that the hours of his days were numbered. He tried to make the balance sheet of his life, to see it as others saw it, and he smiled inwardly. He had filled his life with solitude, sacrifice, and work, and now he was dying; the efforts of men always teach us the same thing, that is, that law, measure, order, and sacrifice, which constitute the meaning of men’s works, exist in this world. Whatever is beautiful and great is created in blood, sweat, and silence. Who had said this? Had he read it somewhere, or had he written it himself, long ago? Now, only now, he found this thought , if not comforting, at least true. Danilo Quiche, Oud, and Scars
Do what you want, I like it and I will continue to make paths. Just think , when you enter the forests, there are bushes everywhere and rocks around you, then you work hard and make a path here and a person passes on this path! Living things pass one person, two people… I do this only for myself, not for money!… For example, that day a young man and his girlfriend were passing by. When they saw me clearing the path, they said: – Clear it but don’t go too far, otherwise some old people can stop and watch us on this beautiful path! In other words, they don’t want the old people to see them. What they mean is, if I clear everything like that, there will be no place for the young people to hide. Nikolay Haytov, Paths
It is better to think before doing something than to regret it later . Democritus, Fragment
When thinking , take the past as a model for the future. Isocrates, Pros Demonikon
They had no idea of anything else but what had happened between them and this small but angry officer who neither thought of himself nor cared about others, who considered all the people and countries around him as a subject or a means of war fought only for himself and in his own name, whose life and existence was war. Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina
I will tell people that this destiny and all the others were thought up by the gods . If anyone does not agree with this idea , let him hold on to his own faith, and I will hold on to it. Sophocles, Aias,
History has put us to a cruel test and we have passed this test. They planned to destroy us. Now think about it Aliya Izetbegovic
Forgetting would erase all pain and leave it behind. Singing was the best way to forget. Because when a person sings, they always think of the things they love . And so on Kapia, which lies between the sky and the mountains above the river, the ears that pass one after another learn not to be too sad about the things carried away by the roaring waters of the Drina.
The hopes of rational thinkers can be realized, but those of fools are impossible. Democritus, [Anthologia Stobaiou]
It has been twenty-two years since I left Bulgaria. I know you will not doubt when I say that throughout all these long years, wherever I was and whatever I was doing, I never stopped thinking about the Bulgarian people, their future, their happiness and prosperity , and working for this cause. Dimitrov
The writer must perceive life as a whole, he continued. He must announce death as the great theme – in order to reduce people’s pride, egoism and bad intentions a little – but in contrast, he must also give meaning to life. Art is the balancing of these two contradictory ideas . The task of man, especially the writer – you will say that I am talking nonsense like an old man – is to leave behind not a work when he leaves this world, because everything is a work, but a little goodness, a little knowledge. Every written word is like a creation myth. Danilo Quiche, Oud and Scars
The song was playing and it was as if it was telling the story of how rich and at the same time how miserable a person was. What did Salih Yaşar need this wealth for? He had come too late. On the way back from the city, on the right side of the main road where the harmonious sound of the cars was emanating, in the cemetery on the slope, his two sons and two falcons were lying. High and roughly carved stones were erected on their graves. The soil there was covered with grass as if it had never been dug, and as if a lilac planted by God Himself bloomed every spring, spreading a delicious scent all around. Salih Yaşar thought : “I will not be able to take anything from my gold to them, nor will I be able to take anything with me when I go to them .” The darkness covered Salih Yaşar’s eyes, and at that moment it was impossible to see what was hidden in those eyes. And he looked at the ground and said to himself, instead of being rich, it would be better if my two young bulls, whose blue eyes were still smiling in front of me, were alive. Yordan Yovkov, The Song of Wheels

Since my profession is export, I have been to 33 countries for work. I stayed in Hong Kong for five years. I was always in the export sales department of Şişecam Global Company, where I was, and I was at the forefront.
Fatih, Mutemet Street, 1961. My childhood in my memory and the balloons of hope I hold in my hands. I am in Little Bey’s Payitaht, Fatih’s Mutemet Street, The Conqueror’s Sons, Great Ancestors, Little Child, Levent on the Logs, In Hearts…
In selling Turkish products, I have always acted with this spirit that I acquired from Fatih, the district where I grew up. Since Fatih also gave me a spirit of getting along with people, I have always acted with this spirit in Fatih, where I was born. Fatih has a decree in Bosnia, there will be no discrimination of religion, whether Catholic or Muslim, I have always felt that, I have felt that in China and in Europe . I have been to four continents and I have felt that in all of them. In terms of loving people and serving your country.

Today is my 40th year in my profession. I started in Mecidiyeköy in 1983. My start was a coincidence. I was doing my master’s degree at Boğaziçi University . I enrolled in Boğaziçi University’s master’s degree program to learn English. I wanted to be an academician. One day, I ran into my friend in the school garden. When my friend said, “Levent, there is such a job”, I said okay, that was the start, I continued for 40 years. I was actually glad that I was not an academician. I traveled the world, I did not just stay in a room like this. I retired in 2012 through SGK, my retirement is on paper, I continue my activities and events in every way, I continue my activities in the style of consultancy, writing, I am a person who likes to be energetic.
I value the concept of wisdom plus leadership, in the sense of wise leadership . In my way of thinking, I constantly think in triangles, because when there is a line, there is a reciprocal movement, it is just a line, let’s say linear, but when there is a triangle, there are angles, there are different perspectives, I find this very valuable.
I formulated it this way; wisdom, leadership, the outside world. The outside world is what feeds both leadership and wisdom. It is your footprint in the outside world, as they say now, carbon footprint.
The person’s own footprint will be there. Last week I went to Balıkesir and gave two conferences there. The eye is stronger than the brain, I was impressed by what I saw there.
In that sense, I act with these triangles. Perspectives in business life are very much based on competition. We are all one person, so sharing is very important, I push competition to the background. Solidarity, cooperation, being together in business processes, for example, Italy had a model, let’s say you produce a product in the production stages, there are ten stages in this production, in Turkey, we do all of this ourselves, we set up a factory, we do all the stages ourselves, we compete with each other.
How do Italians do this? There is a model that comes from the Roman Empire . They divided the production in a certain region, let’s say you are going to produce finished leather from raw hides, there are different stages for this. The producers all specialize in a different part of it, that is, the producers become each other’s suppliers, they do not become competitors, they become perfect in what they do, they do not become competitors, see this is wisdom.
Indeed, wisdom is a model in my mind, it is not a way of thinking that is foreign to us, for example, we now call it innovation , it is a foreign word, not Turkish. This word, which comes from Latin, is not ours. In our first written document, the Bilge Tonyukuk inscription written on stone, wisdom is a title. There is no innovation without wisdom. This has not been talked about yet, everyone says how innovation is done, yes, innovation is done with wisdom , but this sentence has not been formed yet.
In that respect, we should be ourselves, we should go with our own concepts. The concepts used in business life and management are all foreign concepts, American concepts are not even French, French was used in state administration at that time.
We need to think about ourselves in these concepts, then we will have drawn our own path, we have a path, there is no other nation in the world, let’s say an 8000 km road from one end of Asia to Asia Minor Anatolia , there is a tremendous wealth and accumulation that this brings.
Here is the consultancy that I know, we call it cooperation, pulling back the competition in business life a little and bringing cooperation forward with wisdom. Wisdom is leadership, in fact, they are all united on the basis of the outside world.
The important thing in the process of transition from export to poetry and writing is the eye. If you have that. Exporting was my profession, it was a profession I loved because I loved being with people and that brings you success, because you are outspoken. There was also this thing in exporting, “One Man Show”. When you talk to a customer, you can’t say “let me ask Ahmet, let me ask Ayşe, let me ask Mehmet, let me ask Fatma”. You will have a specialty on your own; Representation. Then you have to be very knowledgeable, the customer will ask you QUESTIONS from right, left, middle and everywhere, you will have to answer them immediately, that is the importance of being complete, that is why I liked this profession.
Because for me there are two values in life: knowledge and love. Those two are very, very important concepts for me.
Regarding my transition to poetry, I wrote my first poem in Hong Kong in 1997. I named my poetry book, which I published in 2022, Levendname , in the style of a great Asian epic, because I was in Hong Kong in 1997 and I stayed there for five years and developed it from the period I stayed there. My grandmother was a poet, I saw on her gravestone the poem she wrote for my grandfather, my grandmother Feleknaz Funda, my grandfather had passed away before, I saw her. I was shaken, she was my root, my mother also had that poetry, so a person is drawn to their own roots. She came and found me. It walks with generations. Of course, it comes from my mother and grandmother, I was very happy about that, and of course, poetry is something very unique to a person, very special, you reveal yourself subjectively. But that is the feature I like the most about myself, of course I have a researcher personality, but poetry is something else, in other words, the power of art to influence is much greater.
Selimiye and Three Rivers (Poem) Levent Ağaoğlu – 14/11/2023 Poem: Levent Ağaoğlu (Poet) Voiceover: Gönül Dilek (Poet)
My most preferred feature is actually, okay, I was an exporter by profession, but the transition style is like this, I mean poetry is in my essence, my observations are eye. Your eye sees. I love being with the people because it gives you energy, for example, I constantly go and come back by public transportation, people give you energy, people give you energy and these eventually turn into verses.
For example, my friend called me this morning and I had a meeting with him about exporting to South Africa. I give conferences. I have a website booksonturkey.com , I write articles there. I have books that I have written. I have been writing articles on my website for two years, I have added 2000 articles to my website, both in Turkish and English because we do not have an advertisement in English, it is the language of the world. I care about Turkish very much, but that is another issue. We also need to become a world language, I will start an E-book project on the website.
Poet and writer Levent Ağaoğlu said that the fair centers in Beylikdüzü and Atatürk Airport region have lost their appeal for local and foreign visitors due to transportation difficulties and that fairs on culture, art, technology and tourism in particular should be opened in Yenikapı within the borders of the Historical Peninsula.
In Turkey, the paper price has increased a lot, books are around 200 TL, right? Then I thought, for example, I wrote this book, when I wrote “Cyprus is the Center of the World”, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, “Pay attention to Cyprus”. This is the vision now, if I publish it in English and write “The Center of the World is Cyprus”, if I make sentences and determinations that bring the world together in Cyprus, I think it will attract the attention of the world because after all, Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean, the center of the world is the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean is the middle of the world, in terms of English books, I have an Indian friend, Indians are strong in e-books and editorial issues. The books will be both Turkish and English, and since the cost of this will be low, there will be no paper because it is available, and it will be more accessible. A friend of mine said to me, “Look, if you are not here -he means your mobile phone- you are not here”. He said, “Don’t assume yourself if you are not in your pocket”.
The year I was in Hong Kong in 1997 is very interesting, it is the beginning of the internet in the world, 35 years have passed. Look, I will tell you a very interesting memory, I am glad it came to my mind, the year is 1998, I attended a conference of Jack Ma , the founder of Ali Baba, as a listener, I like such conferences and meetings, I said what is going on and what is not in the outside world, you know, one of the triangles. Such a short man from China is giving a conference. AliBaba was not AliBaba at that time , it was a startup, it was at a new level in terms of recognition. Americans injected Alibaba into the stock market, the internet started in the world in the first period in 1997.
He started speaking at the conference and the people sitting there were Ericsson and Nokia, the giant companies of that time, in the position of today’s iPhone and Apple. He was speaking standing up, he said you are sharks, there was a presentation in the background, shrimps were flowing on the screen in an active manner.
He said, “Look, we Chinese are like shrimps at the bottom of the sea, we are not sharks like you.” He said, “We are very small, but our smallness and the communication between us creates a very big power,” and he put an end to it.
Now, go back 25 years and see, that guy was a startup and became the number one in the world. Where is Ericcson and where is Nokia, they are now in a very passive position.

What did I see there, this is the vision. What is vision, it is personal, the man has leadership, wisdom, both, so the outside world. Here is a very important memory.
I went to Balıkesir recently and gave a conference on Tonyukuk to students at the Anatolian High School. Our first writer is on Tonyukuk. When I saw the young people there, I talked to them by asking them questions, I liked it very much, they are very active and lively, I mean I got hopeful, they are labeled as Generation Z. What does Generation Z mean? Z is the last, there is no letter after Z, there is no person, I do not accept that discourse, but it is a divisive discourse, Generation XYZ, what are these? What I can tell the young people, based on my own experience, is struggle, courage, vision, dream. To pursue these, to be constantly dynamic and lively.

There is no question of discouragement. For example, young people go abroad, my daughter is also working abroad, I do not criticize young people who go abroad, they will represent us there, they will have a different life, they should be very open to the outside world, they should watch what is going on and what is going on. Of course, new professions are developing, there are newly developing professions, but there is a handicap, as I said, experts. Now, all professions are experts, at the bottom, experts, in that case, you cannot see the general picture, if you are in a labyrinth, you can get lost, they should not get lost, they should see the general picture, what is going on and what is going on in the world, and two foreign languages are definitely necessary. I was 40 years old, I took private lessons, I learned Chinese in Hong Kong , I spoke, isn’t the important thing to speak, you speak and you can communicate with the people in front of you. Also, they should care a lot about their language, Turkish, they should drop foreign words.

Turkey entered this imitation in 1982, the late Turgut Özal is my idol, he is the father of my profession, he is the person who started exporting in Turkey, but he focused a lot on using foreign words. But there is a time before that, I mean the Turks used French words, German was not used much, but later on English foreign words. Look at the names, look at the names that the Turks took in history, this has changed recently, children are given Turkish names, but Arabic, Persian and even Chinese names were given, this is not nice. Language is a person’s identity, I told this to the youth in Balıkesir. How England became a world leader, it happened with language, it made its language the world language, it did this by dethroning Turkish.
The second is thought, look, there are books on the table today, the British rule the world with their own ideas. Capitalism is a British thought, a system, football is a British system, that is, management and entertainment have all dominated the world with thought. I think we should also pave the way for the dominance of our language and thought.

Our youth should follow the country and the world, develop their own independent ideas, that is, reason. Turks gave us creative intelligence, in fact, means the created. Turks have understood this, they have understood theology, let them think. Let them be themselves, in terms of language, thought, what they do, and also be proud of their identities.
They should follow the country and the world well, develop their own independent ideas, reason, He gave us a creative mind. Yes, they should use that mind. In fact, Turk means created, it is a divine concept after all. They should think constantly and be themselves, in terms of language, thought, and actions. They should also take pride in their identities.
In this sense, Vision is very important, look, I used a foreign word, didn’t I? We actually need to remove these. There is a horizon, in the sense of keeping our horizons wide, in the sense of being open to the world.
