Adding Value to Life

Dear All,
While our lives pass by silently it brings joy and sorrow to us. The secret of the tiny lines on our faces lies behind these feelings. An e-mail I got yesterday shook my body and spirit highly and then I wanted to share it with you, for it was just like a reflection of my feelings and thoughts. I think it is also a good reply to most of the people who feel frustrated due to the recent events in our world. I also would like to share a few lines of mine which spread upon the e-mail I got:

ADDING VALUE TO ...?
Sometimes we own everything at such a selfish manner that,
We seem to have forgotten that they were borrowed ones in fact.
We act as if we were the only owners.
We forget the real foudners and previous contributers,
And we fall into the false well of this thought: "There will be no one after us...."
We thing that we are the only owner!
Whereas, the thing which "makes us unforgattable" is the value we added to it,
A few details we contributed,
The spirit and power we tgave our friends while collaborating,
The wonderful feeling of producing together with İmece...
Not alone, never!

This year 6th. ınternational ICT Seagulls Project has 18 Turkish İmece Circles. We wtill wait for the participation of international Teams. With love and peace...

DO NOT SAY: "MINE" FOR ANYTHING IN LIFE!!!
Never say: "It is mine" for anything!
Only say; "It is with me."
Because; neither gold or land, or sweetheart or death or life or peace stays with you forever
Nor sadness!
(I am grateful to Ö. Onur & A.Yaylı for sharing these lines with me.)
