Notes To Myself
Time + Consistency + Balance = Ulaş Ahmet KIRAÇ
Time is the greatest gift that’s been given to us in this life.
Effectively utilizing it, is an important task that falls upon us. I have been observing since I can remember. The place where I was born and raised, the social spaces I interacted in, and the educational fields that encompassed a significant part of my life. The subject that most profoundly influenced me during my observations was technology.
Learning that my grandparents and even my parents lived without the internet, mobile phones, and computers until the ’90s amazed me. Because technology is the sole and ideal way to touch the world. I believe that without this opportunity, personal development, social needs, and many other elements cannot be fully realized, which fueled my desire to walk this path even more eagerly.
Technology and every instrument that comes along our way during its evolution empower us against time. This has made time, which lies at the center of my vision, essential and indispensable for effective utilization. Of course, technology and its advancements are not always ideal. Unfortunately, as with anything that is not used appropriately for its purpose, technology can lead to discomforting and even dangerous examples.
I grew up as a fortunate child. My parents assisted me in accessing technology in a way that balanced my social and educational needs while ensuring my safety and inner peace. Sadly, not every child has the chance to grow up with this vision. My observations extended beyond this, of course. As I reached fulfillment throughout my life, I found myself drawn towards the idea of what else is possible for those who cannot access these opportunities and how to make these possibilities more accessible and effective.
My goal is to add a different hue that will create added value for the entire world in the field of artificial intelligence (which I refer to as ‘capturing time’).
I know I will achieve this.
For me, capturing balance in life is just as important as valuing time.
Life is an exceptional opportunity given to us, and we should live it with balance and give it the respect it deserves.
The key to achieving balance is actually quite simple. Many of us overlook it. Definitions have become complicated in our present day.
No matter what, we are all striving for happiness, isn’t that right?
We each have happiness journeys that vary according to our own desires; earning a lot of money, being very healthy, becoming a parent, achieving an academically utopian success? The possibilities are endless…
So, what do we often overlook on this journey?
In my opinion, we lose sight of balance while reaching for our goals. That means we don’t consider giving back emotionally or materially in proportion to what we receive throughout our lives. This situation eventually leads to the unhappiness of the side that feels weighed down, even including those who love us unconditionally.
While we continue to progress towards our goals, we leave behind hearts that are hurt and disappointed.
Let’s say we reach our goal. If there’s no one to share and celebrate that success with, the satisfaction we gain from achieving it will not be fulfilling.
This is where the complex issues come to light.
Observation that feeds effective time management and balanced communication is my treasure and companion on this journey in life, which is at the center of my ideals.
I always ask myself: what else is possible? How can it be better?
A different hue… Why not? I believe it’s possible.”
