“He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, dies slowly.”
– Martha Medeiros
Hello, this is Kıvanç. In this first article, I would like to introduce myself in detail and share its purpose.
I graduated from Ege University Faculty of Medicine. I am a medical doctor. I started my business life with my compulsory service and worked in primary healthcare services in different administrational positions. Afterward, I had the experience of the private sector by working in the pharmaceutical industry. I have over ten years of combined work experience in the public sector and the private sector.
After six years of managerial and medical experience in primary care, I began to ask myself questions about what I wanted to do in life. I realized that I wanted to get involved in the private sector and found myself working in the pharmaceutical industry. Since I knew that I am interested in business topics, I had started to study a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree at Bilgi University in the same period. I completed this long marathon of 15 classes with a project of purchasing behaviors over the counter (OTC) medicine. I am continuing this fascinating and educational transformation process of my own. I can say that the world that I saw when I was working as an active medical doctor and the world that I see after my MBA and working in the private sector is entirely different. Perhaps the main reason for this change is that the educational notions I have received are utterly different. Most importantly, I realized that I don’t have plenty of knowledge about life. After this awareness, I have found myself always learning new things and ready to work hard to adjust to the changing world.
On the other hand, the bad side of this new habit is that sometimes I can feel that I lost my comfort compared to the past. My life is going comparatively much faster, and every minute has begun to seem important to me now. I am interested in many topics, trying to learn new things and improve myself every day.
In this blog, I will share what I have noticed in my journey of awareness, and I will try to make an impact that will help you develop your path in your life journey. I will mention books, podcasts, videos that helped to increase my awareness.
I hope you can find useful ideas in my blog. I would be happy if you share your thoughts with me anytime.
Welcome to my page.
