Haste makes waste
Published:
We have all heard the saying, “haste makes waste.” This statement is particularly true when it comes to achieving our goals and aspirations. The story of a butterfly whose cocoon was prematurely torn open by impatient crows serves as a powerful metaphor for the consequences of being in a hurry. Like the butterfly, we too may have our own “cocoons” that we are trying to break out of. Whether it be a job we dislike, a relationship that is holding us back, or a personal limitation, we all have something we are trying to transcend. However, in our haste to break free, we may end up causing more harm than good.
In the story, the butterfly’s wings were torn, leaving it unable to fly. Similarly, when we rush things, we may end up with false wings, illusions that we have succeeded when in reality, we have not. These false wings may even lead us to believe that we have achieved our goal, when in reality, we are still stuck in our cocoon.
As a philosopher, I would like to remind you that true success is not about reaching a destination but about the journey. It’s not about the end result, but about the growth and transformation that takes place along the way. The true beauty of the butterfly is not in its flight, but in the metamorphosis that it goes through to become what it is.
In addition, we must also be mindful of the illusion of false wings. These illusions can be deceiving and can lead us to believe that we have succeeded when in reality, we have not. As a result, we must be aware of the consequences of impatience and the dangers of being misled by false wings.
In conclusion, the story of the butterfly serves as a reminder to be patient and to understand that true success is about the journey, not the destination. The process of growth and transformation is what makes the end result truly beautiful and meaningful. As we strive to break free from our own cocoons, let us not be fooled by the illusions of false wings and instead, let us focus on the journey and the growth that takes place along the way.
The year 2023 was full of various experiences for me. I took on the role of an Assistant Professor, and the journey had unexpected events like a major surgery, health issues within my family, starting a website, and picking up new hobbies. This post gives an honest overview of the good and bad moments that shaped my year. The foundation of everything in life is undoubtedly health. Without it, even the biggest achievements and detailed plans can fall apart. Health quietly influences our daily activities, professional goals, and personal relationships.

On November 24th, we observe Teachers’ Day in Turkey, a day that holds great importance and emphasizes the crucial role of education in our society.

He believed that the progress and prosperity of a society were closely tied to the quality of its education system. Atatürk firmly believed that a well-educated and enlightened citizenry was the cornerstone for building a modern, democratic, and forward-thinking nation.
