Bir Ömür Nasıl Yaşanır?

Advice from İlber Ortaylı to live more meaningfully…

"Be brave. Open windows outside your comfortable area. This is the only way you can meet different worlds. If I had always stood my ground and not looked for people who would change my world, I wouldn't be the me you know today. The moment a person ends is the moment he becomes a slave to laziness. A person must be willing to give up his comfort. He must move his own world.”

- İlber Ortaylı
