My Agenda?

Dear All,

Time is flowing just a water stream. In order to be a "Whole person" we should give time equally for Body, Mind and Spirit. In order to improve all these sides of an individual, one should;- read, study and investigate to feed his/her mind,- take exercise regularly, learn how to breathe and do meditation, and- have some hobbies like music, art and literature...

In Turkey we call the above mentioned aspects as 3 Ks:

1. K: Kafa (Mind)

2. K: Kol (Muscle i.e. body)

3. K: Kalp (Heart i.e. spirit)

Have you ever thought about all these three sides of the life? How many of you have taken into consideration all of them in order to feel better? I hope from then on, all of us focus on these and wear "personal quality glasses" for our benefits.

Days are getting busier for me. We attended to the Governor's EU Center Certificate Cocktail to celebrate the new trainees at the Istanbul Archaeology Museum last week. We felt the same excitement within us. We listened to the EU Chorus.

On Monday the members of the Istanbul Branch of the Association for New Generation Village Institutioners gathered in our Center under the leadership of Prof.Dr.Seckin Dindar and our newly arrived ex-General President Prof.Dr.Oğuz Makal. We welcome him. You can see the members on the above photo. We will start our traditional Monday meetings. Please participate in them.

On Tuesday we attended a commemoration day at Beykoz Red Waterside Residence. Most of the participants were NGO leaders. It was a great opportunity for us to make new friends.

For two days, we have been busy with the organization of the 2008 11.International Convention on Students' Quality Control Circles which will be held in ıstanbul. If you want to be one of the sponsors and take place in our poster, please call us. I also try to organize the participants of India 2007 event which will take place at City Montessori School, Lucknow on 28 Nov.-2 Dec.. 2008 QOMER International ICT Seagulls Project and 2010 Istanbul Europe Cultural Capital City Project are going to start. In order to be in those projects, the only prerequisite is to be our member and keep in touch regularly through e-mails. If you want to participate in them, please write to us and also visit the English version of http://www.kaliteokullari.com/ .

Among all these busy days, I am terribly in need of having a good rest for a few days. So, I am flying to Antalya-Olimpos tomorrow for 3 days. When I come back, I will share the photos of that lovely site with you.Life is short and you should add your inner value to it. Please do this. With love and peace.
