I think that was the first idea that came to my mind as it is something I am expereincing now but the photo was actually taken in 1964 so it has nothing to do with covid. hahaha. But this is interesting in itself as it shows us the strenght of visuals and how humans interpret things differently. ]]> 2021-03-26 12:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356912823 Jacqueline jacqueline4 https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356914999 Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
I don't really like to make plans. I like to see what the universe brings to me and to see what I can do in the circumstances. Of course, this means that I don't have definite aims or goals but I think that doesn't matter. I am not aiming to achieve something. I am aiming to experience

You may feel so small confronting challenges or starting something new. To make things more manageable, is it better to focus on that first step? Look what's in front of you and take one step at a time. Don't worry too much about what will come next. ]]> 2021-03-26 12:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356922434 Okan okanbolukbas https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356923168 Image2: what I see here is a man walking on the rope and has brain and heart on each end of a balance stick, that was the definition not sure ccc enough, anyay this picture tells me that people are sometimes in a position where they need to make decision but not sure which one to follow because sometimes logic comes first and sometimes emotions outweigh logic and ı think the most improtant thing is to have the right balance of these when it comes to making decisions. these can be so improtant as sometimes a tiiny decision can take us some other places. and change our lives to a great extent.]]> 2021-03-26 12:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356923168 Neslihan https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356927468 I think we can never control our external circumstances but we can control / choose how to respond. During the pandemic, I think all of us are experiencing this. Sometimes when there is something negative is happening, we should stop and think that it might happen for a reason. This can be a learning opportunity for us. We will become a better / more experienced / mature person after that. ]]> 2021-03-26 12:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356927468 Serpil https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356927868 Stealing idea is the easiest thing. I think what matters is being able to produce them: the idea of creativity and being to produce with your own imagination is priceless. For wise people, I am sure that they do not mind about their ideas being stolen; as they will keep on producing and being helpful to the community. They have their own burning core which does not end; however, stealing has many ends :)]]> 2021-03-26 12:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356927868 Eren erenbenderli https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356928986 The picture I’m going to talk about is the one with a man on tight rope. I think it represents that it’s not easy to make decisions in life. One has to be logical, but they must listen to the voice coming from their hearts.

We need to embrace the negative and positive experiences. In this way we can find the joy in life.

I sometimes question that quote. Those who hurt us most are the ones closest to us, so it is not always about our permission. It may be about the timing or the closeness.

When I read the statement, my parents came up to my mind. I was lucky to be born into a great family. I haven’t chosen them or my relatives but I was lucky. On the contrary, some people are not as lucky as I am. They were born in very challenging situations and have to deal with lots of struggles throughout their life. Only some could achieve to be successful and the only way to do it is to respond reasonably. nesibe_atasay https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356942047 2021-03-26 12:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356942047 The last quote says that we cannot choose our external circumstances but our respond to them. I agree with this and I have been experiencing this a lot in my life. In the past I used to try to control everything in my life and when something I wanted did not happen I used to be frustrated a lot. However, later on I came to realization that I cannot change the external factors and I started to accept them and try to find my internal solution. This helped me free my mind and get rid of my strings. gamze_bozkurt https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356946887 Gamze]]> 2021-03-26 12:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356946887 İsmail - 2 JFK ismailarici https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356949745 When you set out on a journey without worrying about getting lost, you'll have a lot to explore and endure against any difficulty. The fear of failure will not stop you from doing whatever you have in mind. On the contrary, you'll be even more motivated when you fail since you'll know that it's a rare-found opportunity for you to learn and grow. ]]> 2021-03-26 12:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356949745 Sonat.Q2 https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356951382 It is easy to say that you believe in this, yet most people cannot really succeed in adopting it as a principle of life. When I was younger, it was not that easy to accept my failures but now I really appreciate my failures and see them as the areas to improve myself in rather than weaknesses. I believe that as a teacher, it is my responsibility to help my students to adopt this.

Getting hurt is my choice. I can only be hurt, if I choose to be hurt. When somebody says or does something it is their responsibility and it belongs to them - but getting hurt is my side of it - it is how I take it - so I would either choose to be hurt or decide to do something else with that.]]> 2021-03-26 12:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356952198 Magda https://padlet.com/kurtoglueken/freewriting/wish/1356959854 9. This reminded me of another quotation, we can’t always control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. This is I think one of the most important skills in life which should be taught at school 😊 We should learn how to control our emotions and become more of a warm-blooded animal rather than a cold-blooded one. However, I strongly believe that we shouldn’t be ashamed of our feelings and express them in a way that is in line with our body and mind, especially our gut feeling, in order to prevent any internal conflicts to occur. However, I also believe that often this may be difficult to apply due to the structural problems in the system.
