Power is in Your Mind

Sometimes life brings such surprises that you are amazed at what you are going through, and you start to wobble right and left. This unexpected state of mind will destroy all your strength.

From 161 AD Marcus Aurelius, a 19-year Roman emperor, says, " Power is in your mind, not somewhere out there. When you understand this, you will find your strength of endurance . "

Having a virtue is that even in times of bad surprises, one's or the other's people may be aware of their own strengths. Nowadays we are a financial nightmare as a country. The money in our pocket is constantly depreciating.

It is now time to develop common solutions to improve the future, thinking that we are all on the same ship, rather than leaving "neighborhoods" within ourselves.

The moments of crisis actually bring great opportunities together. Smart societies and people work for a better future, focusing on these opportunities instead of crisis.

CHINA, KOREA AND WE

In this corner we talked about how China emerged from the crises in China focusing on technology. Some Eastern European countries, which are today's intelligence stars, have also done this.

Difficult days create strong people and powerful societies.

The miracle of Korea:

In the 1960s, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world ...

At the beginning of the 1960s, the per capita income of South Korea was around $ 80.

In the same period, Ghana's income per capita was $ 180.

The national income per capita in Turkey in 1960 was around 380 dollars.

Income per capita in Korea in 2016 is 27 thousand dollars

341 dollars in Ghana.

In Turkey, 10 thousand dollars (2016 figures)

Ha-Joon Chan, a faculty member at the College of Economics at Cambridge University , says that this big step in Korea's book, titled "The Secret History of the Industrialist" , has started as an obsession in society .

"The country's obsession with economic development has shown its reflection in our education as well. We learned that even taking out foreign smokers is our patriotic duty. The country needed to use every penny earned in exports to import machinery and other inputs for better industrial development. Valuable foreign money was the real conviction of our industrial soldiers who fought in the export battles of the factories of the country. Those who wasted these worthless things were treasonous ... "

It is a nation that has managed to get out of the difficult situations many times in the history of the Turkish nation. Founded in 1975 with the donations of the Turkish people, Aselsan is on 55th on the list of world defense giants.

"Defense News Top 100" was published yesterday by Defense News magazine, based on the previous year's defense sales and accepted as the world's most prestigious defense industry list.

There were 4 Turkish firms including ASELSAN, TAI, ROKETSAN and Defense Technologies Engineering and Trade Inc (STM). On the list were ASELSAN 55, TAI 64, ROKETSAN 96, and STM 97.

For the first time STM entered the list, ASELSAN and ROKETSAN both climbed.

How did Peki Aselsan get born?

The Cyprus Peace Operation has put the country very hard. The US embargoed it. There was no such thing as the Turkish defense sector because we had our backs on NATO in the period before. Everything was getting outside Turkey. Not even a radio was built. The nationality of the communication system is finally important. Especially in military operations. In the Cyprus campaign, it was not possible to get the desired output from the radios.

The effect of communication weakness was noticed. On top of that, Aselsan was founded in 1975 as a "radio and communications" company. It's been a long time. In the following years, production began in technologies such as electro optics (night vision) and radar. For the development of these technologies, the Defense Industry Executive Committee gave Aselsan the task of becoming a technology center.

Today Aselsan is the only Turkish technology success! That may create an impetus for a stronger Turkey starting right here in the future.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TODAY?

Now Turkey should establish its own model of success. This is not a project, but an obsession that must be owned by every individual in society.

In 2018, every model that will provide the development of countries is a source of science and technology. This new model of success that will build the future of Turkey, supported by a strong science and technology innovation system. This innovation should be to bring the state, the business world, academia and investors together, the only aim of this system! Turkey most recently in China, in all sectors into an obsession with their own innovation policy should be managed as Korea's high-tech and value-added produce.

The only way to get rid of this weak financial situation that we find in ourselves is to have science and technology-based innovation systems and policies turned into innovation fighters of every individual in society!

This crisis can offer us greater opportunities!

Container with national roadmap, information and communication come out with big gains of the revolution, in 2023, 2053 and 2071 national income per capita has increased five times times, we must work smart for a prosperous and virtuous Turkey.

Turkey's yacht to innovation policy on the basis of a new model of success must be based on the merit of not just loyalty. Turkey has scored a great success in every period that is based on merit, is not it?

I need courage to stand up against gigantic waves like that surfer in the video that I share on my social media account on Sunday . This power is in your mind!
