ayca

Hello and wellcome to my blog !

My name's Ayca and I'm very pleased to have you here. This blog is mainly about my pre-sessional course studies but occasionally I may post some stuff about the things I'm interested or the things I find interesting.
To tell you little bit about me , I'm 24 years old and I am from Istanbul which I think it is not only the most beautiful city in Turkey but also one of the most amazing cities in the world.
I was studying business administration when I was in Istanbul but suddenly I changed my mind and decided to come to London to continue with international business. Thankfully, London met people were pretty satisfied by my previous studies so I was accepted by my 3rd year. Now all I have to do is to pass this course successfully and hope for the best for the next semester.
About my family, I have 3 lovely sisters maybe the most beautiful girls in the world and my mom is the most amazing mother one could ever had. We live in Emirgan which is at the European side of Istanbul near the seaside in a very old fashioned 3 floured building.
My 8-year-old twin sisters are living with my mom and they are going to 3rd year of the elementary school and my 22 year old sister lives in Ankara because of her university. She is studying psychology and she wants to be a social scientist which is pretty suitable for her because she was always a little bit nerd but in a very good way. My mother also is a psychiatrist and a forensic medicine doctor which is quite interesting for other people because they usually thought that her job is more likely to be in the television series of csi but unfortunately in Turkey they don't have those multi functional technologic devices so I can't really say she has a very exciting work life.

international business

In global world , not only people but also and more importantly countries and companies are getting involved more and more with each other. therefore it is crucial for those people who are specialized in international relations and international business to provide an understanding of global balance.

International business's primary focus is of course on the subject of globalization and global markets which is mainly about connecting people through globe, maintain goods and services to everyone even though they are produced in only one part of the world and make international travels easier and more frequent for everyone.

Some people would argue about the fact of globalization has its drawbacks more than its advantages like not all the countries increase their incomes by using international trade or countries who produce goods, sell their products lower prices but also forced to buy manifactured good at high prices by the name under two way trade.

However, generally, most of the people agree, that "economical growth is good for the poor and the trade is good for the growth" * hence it would appear that globalization for better for worse is going to be the most populer issue over the next few years

Nationwide numbers show that there us a remarkable decrease on mortgage rates during the 2008 and according to Angus Sticklers interviews, both with an estate agent and an economist, there is no sign of recovery for the near future. Although there might be still hope if the precautionary steps would be taken.

my dreams

After watching Randy Pausch's last lecture , i have to admit i was amazed by all his achievements in his life not only by his academic success or his professional outcome but also his sense of humor , enjoying life , loving and caring people who are close to him etc.
I know i should not say i wish after watching 1.45 minute lecture about being enthusiastic and believe in yourself stuff, but still, i think this is something you have born with it and i think it is called being a happy person ,not only being happy by the environmental reasons but being just happy by yourself without needing anything or anyone.
Anyhow of course this lecture got me thinking about my life, my dreams, my achievements etc. and i cant really say I'm very optimistic about any of those. I find out that all the things that i wished for when i was a child were materialistic or impossible to get.
For example, my biggest dream was my father gets too rich and end up buying me a small country in Europe and then makes me the princess of this country. Yes this was my dream and i don't see its going to happen any time soon or maybe we can say not it's not gonna happen. Other than this,to mention my other dreams, which are more possible but still not gonna happen,was those;

-i always wanted to be a vet
-i always wanted to fly on the clouds
-i wanted to swim into the pool but instead of water it has to be golden money. ( as in scrooge mcduck )

So as you can see ,there is no way that i could achieve those dreams in this life at least and that is already too pessimistic for me to go on living, according to the meaning of life is to achieve your dreams.

But still, i don't want to be this pessimistic so i think i should pick new dreams to achieve to live happily because somewhat you'll never know how long you're gonna live for.I do believe in faith and i do believe in reality which makes it harder though for a person like me who is capable of daydreaming 24/7 and it is already creating contradictions for me about being realistic and daydreaming is not possible work together. however in my position i have to believe in this person who said anything is possible, must have know something.
Other than me or we or our egos, i think the most important think Randy said in the lecture is to help other people to achieve their dreams. i thought that is the greatest saying i have ever heard. It is kind of godlike if i can use such a word but yet it is not proud as it sounds, maybe more like a Princess Diana but not only helping to the people in need but also to the people who ask for your help maybe just your advice, your experiences or anything related with your subject.
I believe i could be the happiest person if i could do something like that.
Personally, i changed my mind every second so i can convert myself to do almost anything and me being happy as a person is not actually what i am looking for but what i really want to do is to make a difference about other people's life, maybe like this as i mentioned above, i really do.
